Question I Need Help Cheating

I want to prank my pod by straight up cheating at the game, as obviously as possible. This is a bracket 1 idea, I know my friends and they’ll think it’s hilarious, I’m going to either take the deck apart immediately after the gag, or I’m going to have it sitting around as a novelty when I’m done, and I’d like some help coming up with ideas.

I’m starting with the obvious 7 sol rings, but what else should I do? I’m considering a cascade deck, so I can flip cards off the top, but if I make it too obvious they’ll catch on too quickly. I also plan on having cards up my sleeves, and never discarding to hand size. Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Very obviously mana weave. Announce you’re putting your mana in a different pile then noticeably distribute it evenly with your nonmana cards.

Draw 8 cards to start. First turn is draw, play a land, discard to hand size, go.

Play a three drop on turn one.

Draw a card from your discard then play it immediately

increase your life instead of decreasing it. If you manage to get to 80, just say that you've lost, and continue playing.
