A Boros burn deck that gains you life.

The idea of this deck is to run tons of burn spells to constantly damage your opponents and your opponents creatures in order to gain massive amounts of life off your red instant/sorceries. As well as gaining life from white and white/red instant/sorceries to deal extra damage with Firesong and Sunspeaker.

Just imagine, there are 8 creatures on the board. You draw Blasphemous Act. You have Firesong and Sunspeaker on the field. You cast Blasphemous Act for a single red mana. You gain an impressive 104 life off of a single red mana. Crazy stuff.

An interesting interaction with multicolored instant/sorceries like Lightning Helix that deal damage and gain you life with Firesong and Sunspeaker -

Lightning Helix first does 3 damage to any target. That triggers Firesong to gain you 3 life due to the instant being red. Since you are then gaining life off the instant/sorcery Firesong triggers an additional time dealing 3 damage to target creature or player since the instant/sorcery is also white. Then Lightning Helix second trigger happens causing you to gain 3 life, which then triggers Firsong an additional time to deal 3 damage to target creature or player. Making the total damage done 9 and life gained 6 off of a 2cmc card.

The game winning cards would have to be your damage doublers/triplers like City on Fire and Solphim, Mayhem Dominus as well as Toralf, God of Fury   to give your spells a "trample" like effect. And of course Aetherflux Reservoir.
