This is a jank deck that is entirely intended to win with Mirrodin Besieged . This deck looks to put 15 artifacts in the grave yard and then have Mirrodin Besieged + Strionic Resonator + Tawnos, Urza's Apprentice on the field with 4 or more mana available. With this you can duplicate the Mirrodin Besieged Phyrexian trigger 3 times by duplicating with Strionic Resonator and then duping the activated ability with Tawnos, Urza's Apprentice . By adding in a few mana rocks, an Isochron Scepter and a Paradox Engine you could activate this combo infinitely. There are many ways to get to the point you need to be at, but the entire deck is very open to disruption. Thus there is a fair amount of recursion, fetching, and 13 counterspells. This is intended to win only rarely, but when it does, it does so in spectacular fashion.

There are some easy upgrade one could make such as the inclusion of more consistent infinite mana combos or the addition of Urza himself, but I felt this would serve as a good template for your own newb trap decklist.
