Deck idea for Theros Post-Rotation. Focusing on getting out creatures that rely on a chain reaction effect everytime a instant or sorcery is cast, such as Young Pyromancer Guttersnipe and Purphoros, God of the Forge all while those spells getting used up make Spellheart Chimera stronger and stronger and swoop in for the kill if the 2 damage from Purphoros and Guttersnipe didn't already do the job.

Instants and Sorceries to accommodate the deck include various burn like Lightning Strike Shock and Magma Jet. Other defensive cards like Voyage's End and Izzet Charm help defend against creatures and non creature spells alike, and Molten Birth serves as both making a wall of token to defend oneself with and synergize with Purphoros to deal 4 to potentially 8 damage if the Pyromancer and Guttersnipe are in play.

Sideboard consists of cards like Mizzium Mortars (might replace with Electrickery ) to deal with walls of creatures should they arise. Mizzium Skin and Negate to protect my own creatures from burn or boardwipes (minus Supreme Verdict) and a mix of Nivmagus Elemental, Nivix Cyclops, and Teleportal in the case the opponent has great anti-graveyard tech to make Chimera weaker.

Let me know what you think.
