Jeskai Counter Burn.

I'm really liking Dig Through Time, late game is gets me the last 2 spells I need to burn the opponent out.

Jeskai Charm is sweet, its a burn spell which fits the gameplan, its something to delay something I don't like and resets the counterspell wall, and it can give my Mantis Rider, Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker, and Stormbreath Dragons lifelink, post-board it also means when I hit an opponent with a burn spell Satyr Firedancer gives me the same amount of life back.

Steam Augury gets cards in the grave for Dig Through Time, in addition to giving me some things to work with.

Deflecting Palm can easily win me the game, and since it doesn't target it can mess with Stormbreath Dragon, plus against Goblin Rabblemaster its a huge obstacle.

Mindswipe is quite literally the theme of the deck, also it works nicely early game and can just win late game.

Mantis Rider bolts the opponent and works with Stoke the Flames.

The manabase is tricky, but it's been alright.
