This deck transmits ass kickings at extremely fasts speeds! Myr Superion is hard enough to cast, but turn 1?! NO WAY! Enter Burning-Tree Emissary, the key to most combos and field advantage. The other ingredient to most turn 1 shenanigans is Simian Spirit Guide. I can get Myr out and swinging with DOUBLESTRIKE EVEN, by turn 2.

Now Myr isn't the only big player on the team no sir. Say hello to Talara's Batallion. Also a potential turn 1 heavy weight with Simian Spirit Guide + Burning-Tree Emissary . She's also difficult to cast but easy to get around since Emissary is a green spell! I can even play Telara by her self utilizing Manamorphose, which adds great draw advantage as well.

I needed to make sure these creatures can play if I don't draw these cards. So meet the supporting rolls: Magus of the Vineyard , Generator Servant and Violent Outburst . Magus's only drawback is that he gives my opponent But I plan to kill you faster than you can say "ooo piece of candy!" he allows me to play Myr and most other spells easily. Generator can play my Myr as well with the added bonus of gaining haste. Outburst really shines because it can cascade into Myr OR Talara as it qualifies as a green spell.

This is the core strategy of this deck. The problem I kept running into with this deck was the fact that I would end up with Telara Stuck in my hand turn after turn as a result of favorably casting Myr first and not having green spells. To remedy this I added Isochron Scepter to allow me to give me that option any time. It's seriously crazy when imprinted with Manamorphose or Evolution Charm.

THANKS FOR READING! Suggestions are welcome as I am trying to get this ready for prime time modern.
