Lightning Bolt? More like Lightning Storm.

I hope they someday make a 3-drop version that allows you to copy a spell just once (or by tapping, or something.)

I've won using this in my janky reanimator deck using dark ritual. I know it isn't infinite, but the advantage I got from it with just 2 lands and Demonic Tutor, allowed me to grab 2 or 3 more rituals, depending on whether or not I had a Consume Spirit in my hand.

To all that are wondering about the infinite mana conundrum with mana ramping spells and this - you can't do it off one casting of the card. Replicate costs have to be made up front as you cast the spell (read the reminder text). You might be able to rig up an infinite combo off it with a spell that you can buyback, or something akin to that, but most of those types of combo don't need replicate to take off.

Let's say you have 3 D.I. in play. you spend 5 red mana, one to play Shock, and 4 to pay the replicate cost four times.
Since the wording in the reminder text says "When you cast it , copy it for each time you payed the replicate cost."
If you payed the replicate cost 4 times, do each Djinn include its "copy it for each time you payed the replicate cost" clause, thus multiplying the effect?
Would it be 1 shock, plus 4 replicated, for a total of 5 Shocks?
Or 4 replicate cost payments times the number of D.I's in play, plus the 1 origional; for (4 replicates)x(3 Djinn Illuminatis)+(1 origional copy) for a total of 13 Shocks?
The answer is NO. Here's why:
"702.53b If a spell has multiple instances of replicate, each is paid separately and triggers based on the payments made for it, not any other instance of replicate. "

Leyline of Anticipation.
Cast this guy at end of their turn.
Your turn, cast seven lightning bolts for 21 damage. Woah talk about a powerhouse card. Turns a simple lightning bolt into a win condition.
Now you dont need the leyline in this combo, its just a lot easier to surprise win when you dont tap out during your turn and give them a full turn to respond.
