I put this list together in the past few days and have tested it some.

// Lands
4 [CH] City of Brass
4 [CHK] Forbidden Orchard
4 [WL] Gemstone Mine

// Creatures
4 [TSP] Magus of the Jar

// Spells
4 [CS] Rite of Flame
4 [TE] Corpse Dance
4 [TO] Cabal Ritual
4 [OD] Careful Study
4 [JU] Cunning Wish
4 [TE] Dark Ritual
4 [SOK] Ideas Unbound
4 [MI] Lion's Eye Diamond
4 [TE] Lotus Petal
4 [FD] Night's Whisper
4 [MI] Shallow Grave

// Sideboard
SB: 1 [TSP] Angel's Grace
SB: 1 [ON] Chain of Vapor
SB: 1 [SC] Brain Freeze
SB: 1 [UL] Erase
SB: 1 [DS] Oxidize
SB: 1 [TSP] Wipe Away
SB: 1 [TSP] Trickbind
SB: 1 [US] Rain of Filth
SB: 1 [MI] Ebony Charm
SB: 1 [WL] Abeyance
SB: 1 [A] Swords to Plowshares
SB: 1 [4E] Red Elemental Blast
SB: 1 [TSP] Sulfurous Blast
SB: 1 [IN] Fact or Fiction
SB: 1 [IA] Counterspell

The basic combo is Magus of the Jar + Corpse Dance/Shallow Grave. You just dig until you hit that then go off by generating a lot of mana each hand and digging for another dance or grave. You can either build up storm for Brain Freeze + Magus or use Angel's Grace and then activate Magus enough times for lethal.

The deck does hurt itself a lot but I'm trying to keep it in a budget and I don't have any duals. The sideboard is just wish targets that I keep around. I'm trying to keep the deck legacy legal. If there is any recommendations I'd be happy to hear them.

The deck isn't competitive but it is kind of fun to just randomly beat people's face in. The deck can go off around third turn most of the time and almost always by fourth turn.
