The basic idea is to employ many cards that keep multiple opponents in check at once. The deck uses many forms of mass removal spells, as well as a defensive enchantment suite to stifle decks that try to attack me.
For decks that rely heavily on spells (especially counterspells), my General is designed to stop that strategy. Using Paradox Haze and Copy Enchantment, up to three players can be controlled at once. Arena and Knell also benefit from additional upkeep triggers.
I have a feeling making excessive mana will really pay off with this deck. I expect you'll want to have enough to play your opponents spells while holding a grip of instants. Speaking of instants... I like me a few good counters in a control deck (where are they?)

It looks like you're setting up for the Sen Triplets/Paradox Haze combo, but you can control an additional player on your turn with Copy Enchantment. Even has the same total cost of the 'Haze, and you can run three turns + your own : )
If you're concerned about counter wars, maybe use a Gemstone Array to stockpile mana, then burn off each opponents counters on the other's spells (Use the Triplets to cast something cheap from guy #1, use guy #2's counterspell, then guy #3, repeat until you know there aren't any counters on the board)!
And, of course, 3 people can't counter anything at all when you've got tripletriplet effects going...
Subversion is decent. It will keep you alive longer, and stacking it with Paradox Haze is funny.
Since you start as a much higher life total than others, Roiling Horror is a little gem. If you suspend it, Paradox Haze will make it that much more deadly.
Playing as the Archenemy, you'll need every bit of advantage that you can get. That said, I would definitely run Sundering Titan. He's a D-bag card, but that doesn't matter when you're facing down 3 guys all focused on you.

The basic idea is to employ many cards that keep multiple opponents in check at once. The deck uses many forms of mass removal spells, as well as a defensive enchantment suite to stifle decks that try to attack me.
For decks that rely heavily on spells (especially counterspells), my General is designed to stop that strategy. Using Paradox Haze and Copy Enchantment, up to three players can be controlled at once. Arena and Knell also benefit from additional upkeep triggers.
The Doomsday Machine itself can be assembled two different ways:
1. Crystal Shard + Mnemonic Wall + Time Stretch/[CARD]Time Warp
[/CARD]2. Beacon of Tomorrows + Planar Portal
Once infinite turns have been assembled, the game can be won using the Scheme deck alone. Additional cards/players are irrelevant.

Any more suggestions?

Sounds like a very villainous Archenemy game : )

Since you start as a much higher life total than others, Roiling Horror is a little gem. If you suspend it, Paradox Haze will make it that much more deadly.
Then there are all of the global sacrifice effects:
Butcher of Malakir
Abyssal Gatekeeper
Fleshbag Marauder
Barter in Blood
Innocent Blood
They're all good choices.
Yeah, you. The guy over there.
Do you see those spaces? The ones in the creature section?
I need them filled.
Do you have any suggestions?
I dunno if your group minds you being a douche :D, but Magister Sphinx rox sox.
Magus of the Future would allow you to double up on your Future Sight package, which could be critical.
With the number of super-powerful instants and sorceries you have, Mnemonic Wall could actually build you significant card advantage.
If you wanted to start throwing in good guys for Reveillark to rez you could toss in Magus of the Disk, Duplicant, Mulldrifter, and maybe Body Double + Mirror Entity if you want to combo off.
Aven Mindcensor could help a lot if you're worried about your opponents tutoring answers.
I would also be worried about keeping your life total up, so Sphinx of the Steel Wind and Divinity of Pride may not be bad ideas.
