The main win-condition is getting the Bloodthrone Vampire out and then Mitotic Slime out the turn after. Bloodthrone Vamp sacrifices the slime and all of its spawn to become a 15/15 for that go. Whispersilk cloak on the Vamp is a bonus. The rest is oriented towards getting those cards out (either by tutoring or fetching them from the graveyard), dealing small damage while I'm waiting (small creatures with Giant Growth, or the Giant Growth can be used in conjunction with the win condition), mana generation (Cultivate and Llanowar Elves), and removal (Doom Blade, Royal Assassin, Brittle Effigy for creatures, Acid Slime for artefacts - with Naturalize sideboarded in case they have an artefact-heavy deck). I'm considering switching out the Sword of Body and Mind and one of the Cultivates for 2 of the Viscera Seers. That would give me more creatures to sacrifice to the Bloodthone, or cheap early damage, or scrying to get to my win condition quicker. The real problem with this deck is not getting to the win condition fast enough. If they get creatures out then the 15/15 is going to be wasted on a chump blocker unless I can get a Whispersilk Cloak out.
