Removed Thermo-Alchemist, Incendiary Flow, Molten Rain.

Added Another Shock (Galvanic Blast), and two planeswalkers (Chandra, Pyromaster; Koth of the Hammer).

The situational w/ upside cards that are staying in (Searing Blaze, Searing Blood, Smash to Smithereens) are staying in because they are more efficient than Molten Rain and their upside is real. Most of the upside to Molten Rain comes from when it is run out on turn 3 and ruins the opponent's mana, not from the 2 damage that comes with it. Wasteland is a possible include as a colorless slot to take this place, but mana disruption isn't even necessarily what I care about . Strip Mine is plenty.

I liked Thermo-Alchemist. It would do better in a UR spells deck, however, alongside prowess creatures like kiln fiend, mercurial geists, and blistercoil weird.

From my statistical tables and from my experience, I will most often be stalled on 3 mana. This means I need to massage the split between 1 and 2 mana spells a little bit. Cutting Volcanic Hammers for Shocks is the first step.

Points: Mox Ruby [3], Strip Mine [3]
