Standard infinite combo? (but janky)

It involves four cards, tribal cards from two unconnected tribes, and an effect not really being used as intended, but I think it works.
Transform Fable of the Mirror-Breaker Flip to Reflection of Kiki-Jiki Flip. Maskwood Nexus gives it all creature types, including Dwarf and Vampire.
With Magda, Brazen Outlaw out, you will create a Treasure each time Reflection becomes tapped, so Reflection's ability can be paid for.
The target for this ability is Dominating Vampire. Since you have enough creatures in play (D.Vampire + Reflection + Magda, with Nexus making them all Vampires), you can create a copy of the D.Vampire to "gain control" of the Reflection, untapping it. Use the Treasure mana to pay for this ability, tap Reflection targeting Vampire, and repeat as needed. Attack with an army of hasty Vampires.
Any thoughts?
seshiro_of_the_orochi I was looking for Kiki Twin, so I call that a success.
There's a lot of moving parts and virtually no redundancy, so this would be a gimmick deck. Winning with it would be glorious, though.
I had to double check this part, but I think the Vampires are required.
- 712.4d While a transforming double-faced permanent has its back face up, it has only the characteristics of its back face. However, its mana value is calculated using the mana cost of its front face. [...]
Dropping Arachnoform for Maskwood Nexus is good, loosening the color requirements. I like the idea.

That's good to know. And it makes Nexus even better.
With Magda and for KJ to have haste, Axgard Cavalry looks useful. It's basically a mana-dork with upside.

Now that you are using Maskwood Nexus Magda is a vampire too, so with the 4 pieces mentioned Dominating Vampire will always be able to untap Reflection of Kiki-Jiki Flip.

Gidgetimer Thanks, that's a great point.
Here's a first draft I slapped together. I'm sure it can be improved, so please give it some feedback.

You just brought Kiki-Twin into standard. Four cards, three of which are hard to play in the same deck, is a lot, but the result is powerful, obviously.
Some thoughs: Reflection of Kiki-Jiki should have a MV of zero, so the number of vampires basically doesn't matter.
As the deck might have quite a few lehends, Mirror Box looks useful.
As you'd be playing Magda, as well, this could actually be a pretty cool Maskwood Nexus deck.
In BR, Immersturm Predator would be a fine beatstick, and you'd even have access to a tutor in Varragoth, Bloodsky Sire.
