No this does not provide infinite mana. Activate it three times and it produced 8 red. Then if you activated it a fourth, fifth, and sixth time, nothing more happens.

Still, getting 2 extra mana for free when you have 6 mana to throw into this ability is pretty good.

fun with Djinn Illuminatus and a Lightning Bolt. Good mana fixer and accel, and can be used to launder (lol) Smokebraider's mana for use with non-elemental spells. Like Lightning bolts :D.

Goes really well with Ceaseless Searblades and any Elemental that has fire-breathing, like Flamekin Brawler.

No infinite mana, it only activates on the third time. Though if you have multiple copies you can use the 8 mana produced to do another round so you get ten mana instead(8 from the second and 2 left over from the first.) This is pretty nice in my gree/red deck, i give my guys trample and get enough mana for a 6 damage cometstorm or a 7 damage blaze.

Combos with Heartstone or any card like it. With hearstone though, wow 3 mana for 8 not bad.

Also good simply as a mana-fixer later in a firebreathing deck. This effectively allows a +8 pump not only for just 6 mana, but for 6 *colorless* mana. Might also be fun for decks running Flailing creatures :D

AAARGH! ILLUSIONIST'S BRACERS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?
And no, it's not infinite mana. Like, the very thing says "... the third time ... has resolved ...".
