Description of deck by its author (quoted):
  With the Dimir Aqueduct in play, and Freed
from the Real enchanting Tidewater Minion, you can tap the Aqueduct for
one Blue and one Black mana and untap it with Tidewater Minion. Use the
Blue mana generated this way to untap Tidewater Minion with Freed from
the Real. You are back where you started, with an untapped Aqueduct and
an untapped Tidewater Minion, but now you have one Black mana in your
mana pool. Repeat this process as many times as you like, although
usually twenty or so will do.
Matt didn't send me a decklist, so I put one together myself (So much
for letting you guys do all the work! Sheesh.). Since all three pieces
are common, I figured I might as well make the deck Rare-free, or in
House of Cards-speak, Lite. The deck uses the power of the Dimir Guild's
Transmute mechanic to search up the missing combo pieces. Dimir
Infiltrator fetches mana (Dimir Signet), answers to problems (Last
Gasp), or the kill card (Consume Spirit). Perplex can tutor up Freed
from the Real, while Brainspoil gets Tidewater Minion. There are only
five Uncommons in the deck (one Dimir Guildmage, and four Diabolic
Tutors), so it's legal in the Peasant format (Consume Spirit doesn't
count as an Uncommon, since it appeared in an earlier set as a Common).
