Lavamancer's Skill is a nice -2 pinger on this card.
@1maketoilets - I mention the above because you're probably not likely to throw this guy into combat or block if it's part of the main engine in your deck and making him a 2-pinger makes him that much more useful.

If you can splash green then you can go with Training Grounds and Harrow..
You: Time to fetch some lands again! ...and again! ... and again! ...and again! ... and again! ...and again! ...and again! ...and again! Ok that's about all of it. I'm done.
Enemy: ....Mind Funeral.

@somegeek
So is any creature with a subtype wizard. Don't know why you had to mention it here.

People, the izzet guildmage + lava spike + desperate ritual does not work, why? because by the time you can do the combo (usually 5th turn) you'll be already dead or your opponent will easily counter the spell.

EDIT: Forget this, I forgot that instants requires blue mana to be copied. Whatever, use Mycosynth Lattice.
Geosurge -> Fork - copy Geosurge -> add 7 red to pool -> copy Fork -> copy Geosurge -> 7 red to pool -> copy Fork and yadayadayada for infinite red mana, proceed to infinifork Death by Dragons/spend all on Dragon Roost.
Sure, it's 9 mana to pull off and sort of pointless compared to Desperate Ritual+Lava Spike, but hey, INFINITE DRAGONS!!! Add Coat of Arms for infinite infinity.
If you can get out 2 blue mana in addition, instead of just the dragons, infinifork Rite of Replication all over the place instead.

By far, the funniest thing i have seen done with this card is someone copying their Mystical Tutor. Just think about it.

One of my all time favorites. Bounce all their creatures (or untapped blue sources!) back to their hand at their end step, or simply copy a Bolt a few times for the win. Fun with cards like Lightning Axe or Goblin Grenade since you'll only need to pay the additional casting cost once, then copy it as many times as you'd like!
Training Grounds makes it silly.
