A fiendishly quick deck. Objective is to win on turn 3 with Kiln Fiend, or with a combination of Swiftspear(s) and Delver if enough spells are available. This deck is less some of the more expensive dual lands, as I simply haven't acquired them yet.

Creatures

• Kiln Fiend is your main guy here, and is capable of pulling off a turn 3 win with Assault Strobe and 2 other spells.

• Delver of Secrets   I found blistercoil weird was too needy for pump spells to be of use in the late game, and delver can get damage through without the need to be unblockable in most games.

• Monastery Swiftspear for haste on turn one. She can also be pumped for big damage via instances and sorceries, though that usually doesn't get the entire job done and leaves you without many spells left. Its not wise to rely on her to win the game for you, but she pairs well with Delver to win a game that you don't draw a Kiln Fiend.

• Bedlam Reveler is taking Nivix Cyclops spot for now. I'm hoping this will be better for those grindier matches where creature removal is a problem. It should help with finding the right cards at that point.

Unblockable

• Distortion Strike to slip through with massive damage

• Slip Through Space is excellent in this deck. It lets you get through enemy lines, and it helps you draw for more pump spells.

Spells

• Apostle's Blessing for protecting creatures mainly. Can also be used to get damage through if viable.

• Serum Visions to setup the right draw.

• Assault Strobe to make sure the killer blow comes sooner rather than later.

Mana-less Spells

• Mutagenic Growth for no mana cost pump.

• Gut Shot for mana-less pump that is capable of dealing 1 direct damage or removing small creatures that may be blocking the path. Great against infect.

• Gitaxian Probe for draw without having to pay mana.

Suggestions welcome.
