I'm trying to make an infinite mana loop work in standard, but with what I have it's just too slow. With Faeburrow Elder and Gauntlets of Light attached, Biomancer's Familiar, and Theater of Horrors out it's theoretically enough to ping my opponent to death. Even without Biomancer's Familiar the infinite combo still works, but in all my tests the combo just doesn't come out.

My thinking was between Anticipate, Opt, and Growth Spiral I could burn through my deck fast enough to get the cards I need, plus some bonus land drops. It's still not fast enough. I'd appreciate some guidance here, and if this deck can be nothing more than for the lulz that's fine, too.

(And yes, I could see notable improvements with the right distribution of shock lands and a play set of Fabled Passage, but I don't have many of either available at the moment.)
