Sorry to bust your bubble, but Replicate, as well as Storm, does not count as PLAYING a spell, the copy is merely PUT in the stack, so any effect that trigger by playing spells (storm count is one of them) does not count. However, since you’ve found out about Djinn Illuminatus, try this out:
Djinn Illuminatus
Pact of the Titan
Angel’s Grace
When the opponent ships the turn back to you, simply play any number of copies of Pact of the Titan eot (you choose a number, since it’s an infinite loop). Then, during your upkeep, ALL the "you lose the game" triggered abilities will trigger, allowing you to play ONE Angel’s Grace (which can’t be countered, since it has Split Second) and NOT lose the game, and then proceed to smash with any amount of 4/4 Giants. |

I just had a thought....
Couldn’t you practically Extirpate your opponent’s graveyard? Or does split-second stop that?
Also, can I use Ancestral Vision to cycle through my deck at huge speeds for free until I get the cards I want? After I suspend it, of course. Or build a slightly larger deck (say, 65 cards) and let Wheel of Fate cycle both mine and my opponents decks until my opponent decks out before me? |

| Extirpate has Split Second, so you can’t Replicate it. Also, the no-cost cards have a converted mana cost of zero in abstract (for tutoring purposes, countering purposes, etc), but they in fact do NOT have a mana cost at all, so you can’t pay their cost to replicate them. Suspend only gives you an ALTERNATE cost, it doesn’t change the mana cost. Force of Will is still a 5-color spell even if I pitch a blue card and pay 1 life to play it for free. |

Proof:
"Q: My opponent has a Djinn Illuminatus out and plays Sudden Shock. When he does, he tries to Replicate the Sudden Shock. Does Split Second prevent the Replicated copies from being added to the stack, or do they all go on the stack at the same time?
A: When a Repicate cost is paid, a triggered ability goes on the stack on top of the spell. Split Second does not prevent this ability from being used when the spell is played. When this triggered ability resolves, the appropriate number of copies of this spell will be put on the stack. These copies are not played, so Split Second will not prevent the copies from going on the stack. So your opponent can do what you have described."
