Play the Echo Mage and either give it Illusionist's Bracers or get it leveled to its double-copy ability.

Play Sorrow's Path, and Donate it to your opponent.

Cast Hidden String, choosing to tap the Sorrow's Path and Untap the Echo Mage (still untapped at this point anyway). This step should never really resolve as such, its just to get the Hidden Strings onto the stack for copying.

Use the Echo Mage's ability (either leveled or bracer'd) to copy Hidden Strings twice. With one copy, target the two lands used to pay for the Echo Mage Ability, and with the other copy, target the Echo Mage and Sorrow's Path (choosing to always untap the Echo Mage, but to tap the Sorrow's Path if it's untapped, or to untap it if it's tapped).

Each time Sorrow's Path becomes tapped by this loop, it shoots its controller (your opponent) and each of their creatures for 2 damage. It does nothing if it gets untapped, but setup for the next go around.

Thus, every other loop of the Echo Mage, your opponent and all of their creatures are damaged, by one of their own lands.
Few things are guarded against untargeted damage. Even fewer yet (I think one in the entire game) are protected from Lands in general.
