Deck Description

Hidden Strings/Dual Casting abuse to get infinite mana and burn using an X spell.

How to Play

Takes some setup, but a turn 4 infinite X burn is possible. (Assuming my MTG mechanics knowledge is correct.)

Forest, Mountain, Arbor Elf, Verdant Haven, Dual Casting, Hidden Strings, Burn Spell

Turn 1 - Forest + Arbor Elf
Turn 2 - Mountain + Dual Casting on Elf
Turn 3 - Verdant Haven on Mountain
Turn 4 - Hidden Strings using G from Forest and U from Verdant Haven Land, while on the stack use the R left over from Verdant Haven Land to tap the Elf and copy Hidden Strings.
When the copy resolves, untap Elf and Verdant Haven land.
Before the original Hidden Strings resolves, tap Verdant Haven Land for RR.
Use R and Elf to copy the original Hidden Strings, store the left over R.
Repeat until you have however much R mana you want.
Use all the R mana to cast Volcanic Geyser, or Devil's Play to the opponents face.

Can also do using Gatecreeper and Axebane on turn 5 (Turn 4 if Elf also).

Faithless Looting and Wild Guess are used to dig for Hidden Strings, Dual Casting, and a Burn necessary for the setup.
