When building this beck, I wanted to create a deck that:
*Is on a budget, preferably below / around $100,-
*Does not involve an infinite combo, which we don't allow in our playgroup
*Is fun to play, thus having more win con's than just massive fireball's, which I personally don't really like
*Has a chance of winning from time to time within my meta consisting of rather expensive decks, because what's more fun than defeating a $1000+ deck with a pile of craprares
I think the result is quite fun to play and rather competitive. The deck does contain an infinite combo, however, with Reiterate and Turnabout but the deck doesn't need it to win and within our group I'm only aloud to copy Turnabout once.
The deck needs a lot of mana, therefore it contains a lot of mana spells; casting a Mana Geyser or High Tide from the top of your library, copying it with Melek, izzet paragon, usually grants enough mana to be able to do whatever you want.
It only contains one extra turn spell because I don't really think it's fun for the rest of the table to include more.
Honourable mention for Radiate! That card is so much fun, whether it is combined with Curse of the Swine turning the whole table into Hogs, Capsize bouncing the whole table, or Twitch, untapping lands and drawing a card for each land on the battlefield
Tips are always welcome! And yes, I'm already looking for a Rite of replication to put in!
I thought about adding Possibility Storm, it seems a lot of fun but am afraid it'll mess up my own game too. Since I'm without blockers most of the time, well-timed bounce is quite needed for survival. I also use quite some tutors, which become quite obsolete with Possibility Storm in play (if played from hand of course). Or do i miss some nice interactions with this card that make up for the downsides it has?
It basically protects your board with little to no investment. And since your the only player able to play partially around it, it gives you a huge advantage. You just have to know how to set it up.

The win con's are:
*Sphinx-Bone Wand;
*Guttersnipe or Talrand, Sky Summoner;
*A massive, copied Comet Storm;
*Reins of Power or Insurrection;
*Spellheart Chimera
