As a titled already says this is a spellbased Riku deck.

The goal is to ramp until there is enough mana to reach a critical amount of spell copy and untap effects. The mana doublers aren't really for group hug, just play them during the turn you aim to win (Heartbeat of Spring) or at the EOT before that (Dictate of Karametra).

There are a couple of infinite combinations: Any Untapspell ( Early Harvest , Turnabout , Rude Awakening + Reiterate with enough mana for the buyback is the easiest way to infinite mana. Bonus Round + a way to copy Bonus Round + Untapspell + Remand or Unsubstantiate is infinite mana: If you copy Bonus Round you get 3 copies of any other spells. Cast an Untapspell. Your spell bounce copies target the original spell bounce and the original untapspell. This results in the same cards in your hand, but more mana due to two copies of the untapspell resolved. Loop via spell recursion: Play any untapspell. Play Regrowth targeting the untapspell. Play untapspell again. Play Mystic Retrieval and copy it with Riku, targeting Regrowth and the untapspell. Play the untapspell. Play Regrowth and copy it with Riku targeting Mystical Retrieval and the untapspell. Repeat ad infinitum.

Any of the loops from above + any way to damage an oppont or make them draw a card wins the game.
