The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Deck Description

The core combo in this deck is Keening Stone and Traumatize, and to some light degree Tome Scour.

Essentially, what you want to end up doing, is casting a Keening Stone. After this, play a Traumatize to have your opponent dump half his library into their graveyard. Then, activate the Keening Stone ability to dump, from their library, an amount of cards equal to what's already in their graveyard. This should cause them to pretty much discard their deck. If it doesn't, pick off the rest with Tome Scours until you win.

The combo is protected by countermagic, 12 to be exact. Notably Turn Aside, which protects the Keening Stone specifically.

There are 12 cards for drawing power.

Finally, there are 4 Palladium Myrs for extra mana, as this deck is colorless intensive in some casting costs of key cards. Plus, the Myr is a 2/2 creature to boot.

Deck discussion for TraumaStone

Honestly, while I really like seeing Keening Stone used, you're going to end up with a speed problem. At the very earliest, unless you get multiple Palladium out early (and assuming those creatures live) you're looking at turn 6 or 7 before this combo goes off.

I like all the draw you have, so you should be getting your pieces quickly. Maybe switch 4 islands for Terramorphic Expanse/Evolving Wilds for deck thinning? Or cut out a couple of the draw cards and add in Silver Myr for extra blue mana.

You'll definitely want to board Archive traps against anyone searching their decks. :)
