Sheraception, brilliant! Limiting the number of cards is one of the finer rules, though.

EDIT: SPOILER, if you want to figure it out for yourself, don't continue reading.

Here's my go at it:

You take a third plains, a third Shahrazad, and a third Mox Pearl, which should cost you a mere ~50k and you make sure that the number of cards in your deck added up are at least (sum of inceptions +1) card more than your opponent has in his deck, to still win if you loose every flip and have to go second. After the last Shahraception, when you opponent has no more cards in his library, you pass the turn, he looses, and because the game one level above you always has you on the play, because you cast Shahrazad, you just keep passing the turn and you opponent looses, until you reach the top level game and you win, because your opponent decks the last time and Leonardo gets his Oscar.

Players play a MAGIC subgame, using their libraries as their decks. Each player who doesn't win the subgame loses half his or her life, rounded up.

Well, I'm not the man you wanted an answer from, but I think the press sometimes does not do a bad job when it comes to portraying a story, as I am from Germany, I'll give you some German examples to make it easier for you what to look for in your country's press:

...and some more, try to find those kinds of projects, it's the best way to engage people and keep up with the story oneself.

Edit 2: Don't forget that you can switch between German and English on Geheimerkrieg.de

I think branding drugs as cause for crime is criminally false, the profit margins with the low barrier of entry is what causes the violence, because the market has become valuable and the market shares determine how much you get and territory is what that translates to which leads to turf wars. You can substitute any drug with anchovy. If there's the same profit margin and the same craving for anchovy as for drugs, you'd have the same situation. People kill for money, not drugs and the only way that his has even become possible is by outlawing them, even though there's ample precedence with the prohibition in the U.S.. People started to kill for alcohol and mafia bosses got rich. But drugs are every LEA's bread and butter, which the somehow manage to never have emerge in the public discourse.
