Inquistor Exarch is the closest to what I had, and totally counts. I had Razor Hippogriff. I imagine with some thinking, most of the other options can be removed. Maybe the game went differently and both Courser and Goyf were cast last turn. I was also thinking there could be a notion theif in play, I had thought of manamorphose, but that doesn't really go with the jund theme.
You're playing a brewsy brew in modern, agianst a run-of-the-mill jund deck, it's going pretty well, but then a goyf comes down and they turn around the game. Last turn they cast Kolaghan's Command, destroying your Meteorite and forcing you to discard your last card, a Ezuri's Brigade and it looks like they're going to kill you on their next turn.
Chaos warp Alexi's Cloak, Cast the hellkite, putting 2 damage towards lab maniac, 3 damage on itself. We take one damage from blood artist.
Pass, let them draw for draw step and lose.
Takes 11 mana, so we can use the birds and our basics to cast them.
So, I came up with a variation of the previous Conjurer's Ban puzzle. Here's the set up:
Your opponent went infinite, capsized your board, time twistered, tormod's crypted your graveyard, played elish norn, pacifism on elish norn, cast Sphere of Safety, cast Uba Mask, cast Nevermore naming Dark Ritual, cast Liquimetal Coating, made Nevermore an artifact, cast Karn, Silver Golem, made nevermore a creature, cast Soulfire Grand Master, cast Mirror Gallery, cast Mangara of Corondor, cast rite of replication kicked targeting Mangara and bought back with Soulfire Grand Master. Then they copy Nevermore for every non-land card in the game, ending with rite of replication. Then they use Mangara to exile liquimetal coating, Karn and Soulfire Grand Master. They then pass turn, and dare you to kill them. For simplicity, assume they have 15,000 Nevermores. How quickly can you kill them? They're at 20 life, 0 poison counters, 49 cards in their deck, 7 cards in hand. You have 7 cards in hand, you can stack your deck, and have up to 4 copies of non-basic cards.
Simple version: There's an Uba Mask, a Sphere of Safety, a Pacified Elesh Norn, and a Nevermore naming every non-land card on your opponent's side, you have no cards in play, and you can stack your deck. How fast can you win?
Proof that you can win: If your deck is 30,000 Forests, your hand contains 6 forests and a Treetop Village, you can play the Treetop Village, play all the forests, then activate treetop each turn, pay for the sphere, and swing 20 turns in a row. 30,024 turns.
Yeah, I wanted to build an enchantment lock, which is totally doable, but without throwing in a ton of enchantments. We could add Leyline of the Void, Leyline of Sanctity, Sphere of Safety, etc. Assemble the Legion is also pretty fast at winning.
My intended method of breaking out was Eldramri's Vineyard and Pernicious Deed to remove the Auramancies.
You and your opponent each start the game with 5 non-creature enchantments in play. You get to choose yours after they've chosen then. We will follow the ABT rules, with the alternate land rule (you can chose to replace your first draw in your draw step with drawing a basic land), 1 card starts in the library. We'll also assume the opponent is playing a non-interactive 100000000 turn win combo.
Specifically this card: Win. Suspend 100000000 - 0 Each opponent gets an emblem with "At the beginning of each end step, sacrifice all permanents you control, discard your hand, exile your graveyard, and lose the game." While ~ is suspended, it can't be the target of spells or abilities. Split Second. ~ can't be countered.
Their hand is : Win
The 5 enchantments your opponent chose to bring are: Rule of Law / Land Equilibrium / Possibility Storm / Greater Auramancy / Greater Auramancy
What enchantments and library of 1 do you bring?
MD5 of a solution, with alphabetical names and in the form of: Enchant / Enchant / Enchant / Enchant / Enchant // Card

As a slight addendum to plopfill's marvelous work, it is important to note that Gathan Raiders needs to be turned face down with weaver of lies so that the card draw from Riptide Survivor doesn't cause you to lose from decking. With that, the puzzle is solved (at least one way).

Both hands are empty. Your opponent has a tarmogoyf and a courser of kruphix in play. They are at 2 life. Their graveyard is verdant catacombs, wooded foothills a thoughtseize, a kolaghan's command, an abrupt decay, a scavenging ooze and a duress. Their land base is a Stomping Ground, a Blackcleave Cliffs, Overgrown Tomb, Blood Crypt a Mountain and a Forest. The Courser is revealing lightning bolt.
You have a Pristine Talisman, a Dromoka Monument, a Plains, a Temple Garden and a Forest in play. Your graveyard is a carapace forger, ezuri's brigade, windswept heath, flooded strand mirran mettle, meteorite, Auriok Sunchaser. You have no creatures in play, and are at 1.
What do you topdeck to get a win?

Edit because I didn't think this through quite well enough, you're playing singleton modern, where you can have at most of each non-basic card.
