Hold opponent off long enough using boomerangs, counterspells etc until you get a untappable creature that you can build and tutor up using trinket mage, brainstorm, puresight merrow to give it deathtouch and ping ability. From there kill all their creatures with deathtouch ping and/or direct damage their life, repeat. Welcome to suggestions! Thanks for viewing!!

Hmm!
Infinite with thrasher means he can go mesmeric orb and that thassa's merfolkthingy that wins the game if he has 0 library. He has to be good at timing it though ;)

If he goes away from ping to self mill glint-nest Crane will speed up the combo.

He can also use cards with transmute to reinforce the odds of getting the combo pieces.

Muddle the mixture and perplexity springs to mind

I appreciate the advice. Alot of those cards are out of my budget for this casual deck. Based on pricing if I were to add transmute it would be Dizzy Spell. Which cards should I take out if any for Dizzy Spell?

Wolf hunters quiver. It has too high equipment cost.
Also leech bonder which can only be used trice one time.
Having 8 untap creatures is enough.

This gives you 6 cards.

You could use laboratory maniac + mesmeric though it would cost you in speed.
Don't know about the prices.

Muddle the mixture and perplex will not only find the combo, but will give you counterspells.

Some more options for Trinket Mage:
- Seat of the Synod
- Glaring Spotlight

Also considering you might want to spend the mana untapping the Horseshoe, maybe a Daze or Misdirection you can play without mana?
