Draw as many cards as possible, make drawing matter, play hand size creatures, copy them, deal hand size damage, copy that too.

Mostly, the wins come from surprise 40 damage from Spiraling Embers or Master the Way. Those spells are copied by Riku and sometimes by Insidious Will which is also copied. A huge Sturmgeist also works.

Here's an example of a winning turn. Cast Spiraling Embers with enough cards in hand. Pay for the Riku of Two Reflections spell copy trigger. Let the copy resolve (gotta get that one extra damage!). Before the original Spiraling Embers resolves, Copy it with Insidious Will, and pay for the Riku copy trigger again. Ideally your targets are dead now. This is a 12 mana combo, but usually you won't need all of this damage. Lets say you have 20 cards in hand. The first will do 19 damage, and the next 3 will do 18. That's 73 damage in ~18 damage increments. 2 players will probably be dead and 20 cards is pretty easy to achieve. Leaving up mana for counterspells is also a good idea.

None of that Laboratory Maniac cheese, this is a burn deck.
