This is your typical spells deck for standard. Main win-cons are Enigma Drake and Dynavolt Tower, with some help from Firebrand Archer. The spell suite mainly consists of draw spells and removal.

As for my sideboard, it needs work. I have things like Cryptic Serpent to deal with larger creatures and Release the Gremlins for artifact hate, but it's a bit of a miss-mash.

I welcome any criticisms and suggestions, especially for how to deal with Carnage Tyrant (assuming it's a huge threat in standard). Also, I currently have somewhat of a budget. I might make trades for $10+ cards to improve, but they'd have to be a one or two-of.
