My Elemental tribal deck. Or 6/6 Vigilance Trample: The Deck. Vomit Elementals of every color onto the table for fun and profit.

Combos

Synergy! Synergy everywhere.

• Smokebraider + Woodland Wanderer . Cast it with as many different kinds of mana as possible. Getting it on the table by turn 3 as a 6/6 is extremely common.
• Horde of Notions + Smokebraider . I am become Timmy, caster of huge stompy things.
• Horde of Notions + graveyard Mulldrifter or Shriekmaw = Flashback on a huge stompy, vigilance trample stick.

The fact that Incandescent Soulstoke is an elemental lord is nice, but what I really care about is its ability to put elemental cards of any cost on to the table with hast for 2 mana. That's just crazy.

• Incandescent Soulstoke + Mulldrifter = Free cards and a hasty flier.
• Incandescent Soulstoke + Shriekmaw = Free kill spell and a hasty scary dude.
• Incandescent Soulstoke + Soul of the Harvest + whatever you decide to cast with the Soulstoke = Free cards.
• Incandescent Soulstoke + Nova Chaser + whatever elemental you decide to champion = a 10/2 trampler with haste. I found it best to champion a Flamekin Harbinger .

Voice of Resurgence basically just screws over control decks all by itself. And should it die right away, it will replace itself at the very least.

Finally, Reveillark can make for a nice recovery after a boardwipe, bringing back Smokebraider , Voice of Resurgence or Brighthearth Banneret . Mulldrifter + Reveillark is your best bet, though.

Tutoring and Ramp

There's 4 tutors in the shape of Flamekin Harbinger . You'll almost always start out with one of these in your hand or a good opening hand. Smokebraider and Brighthearth Banneret make sure big, stompy creatures get on the board as fast as possible.

Turn by turn breakdown

Turn 1:

1. Primal Beyond
2. Cast Flamekin Harbinger , tutor up whatever is missing from your hand.

Turn 2:

1. Ancient Ziggurat
2. Cast Smokebraider

Turn 3:

1. Forest
2. Tap Smokebraider for Red and Black mana, tap forest for Green, tap Primal Beyond for Blue, tap Ancient Ziggurat for White mana.
3. Cast Woodland Wanderer for 6/6, or Horde of Notions .
4. Grin like a retard. Or grin like a retard and attack with the Horde.
