This deck is an update from an earlier approach to build a Kiln Fiend Modern deck. The addition of Nivix Cyclops and Faithless Looting gives the deck more stability and the deck goes off turn 3 or 4 FTW.

The idea: Kiln Fiend or Nivix Cyclops are your win cons. Make sure you have one in your starting hand, or you can find one using Turn 1 Faithless Looting or Serum Visions. Turn 2 you can already play Kiln Fiend or wait until turn 3 against decks where you expect removal. As protection you need Apostle's Blessing or counterspells or Mutagenic Growth against burn.Then you can pump Kiln Fiend/Cyclops using Assault Strobe , Artful Dodge and other instant or sorcery for 20 damage or more with only one attack! Faithless Looting is great to search for your Combo pieces. You can also put unnessecary lands and Artful Dodge with flashback into your graveyard and keep the best spells.
