This deck is based around 2 central ideas: steal creatures and cause direct damage.

1. A tactic to control the opponent uses Fling + Kari Zev's Expertise to steal a creature and sack it for free thus doing damage.

2. If [Wildfire Eternal] isn't blocked it makes for a good opportunity to play cards like [Inferno Jet] for free which triggers an additional point of damage per each [Firebrand Archer] in play.

Some of these quantities and cards are based on what I have on-hand. Please provide suggestions to make this better. I'm not sure if the mana ratio is right at this point and I am considering removing Edifice of Authority and Sunset Pyramid.

Any similarities between this and other decks are purely coincidental.
