With Cinder Pyromancer in play, tap it to deal 1 damage to your opponent. Then play desperate ritual and copy it as many times as you want with the Izzet Guildmage (it's free). For each of those copies, you can untap Cinder Pyromancer and deal infinite damage to every opponent

I'm sorry but this does not work. you are not playing(casting) the copies therefore cinder will not trigger. also once ritual resolves and gives you 3 mana it is no longer on the stack to copy, you need 3 mana to pay for the 1st copy of ritual. sorry im a letdown

Now that you say it I also figured out Desperate Ritual is an Instant ( 3 red mana = sorcery copy)
Anyway, I never played with a "stack" (I just throw cards on the field and never do the "put cards on top of each other" thing), because I think that rule is stupid in various occasions
