Not sure if you realize giving a creature double strike multiple times doesn't quadruple your damage. It's still possible to drop 20 on turn 2 in a perfect situation; so +1 from me. I'd love to give you another +2 for proving red/blue can be quick and for using my favorite colors.

This is why Modern scares me. +1

can someone please eplain the turn two 60 damage playout? ive bee playtesting it quite a bit and still cant quite fathom it

It's highly unlikely, but here's how it works: T1 play an untapped land exile simian spirit guide play kiln fiend T2 play another land, distortion strike, assault strobe, pay 8 life play 4 probe and 2 mutagenic growth.

have u ever considered Nova Chaser?

OH! I GOT THE TURN 2 UPVOTE!

I have, but I've found that Nova Chaser is just way to slow.

I run a pauper deck that looks very much like this.. The only thing keeping I could maybe think of a a possible add somewhere is Aerial Formation ffor an added evasion spell you should check mine out and see how you like it maybe give it a few pointers Izzet a Budget Beatdown

hey, been playing this in modern for a while and the deck list evolved a fair bit. I found a build more like this http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/ru-delver-or-kiln-fiend/ to be more stable and less all in. I haven't tested monestary swiftspear but it might be a good replacement for goblin guide - will definetly play it in my pauper version. I love the deck in pauper more as you get to play with broken stuff like ponder and treasure cruise (which made this list obsurd pre-banning as you could just go-off, then refill if it didnt kill.). Agreed my list doesnt put out quite as much damage or give you a trun 2 kill but you only need 20 damage (30 against matyr of sands) and turn 3 is fast enough. SB plan is for boggles, control and affinity. the 3 hardest match ups in my opinion.

Emerge Unscathed

I don't run white. Thanks for the suggestion though.

have you ever considered running green for Groundswell, Might of Old Krosa, and Invigorate?

DERPLINGSUPREME Invigorate isn't modern legal.

I have, but I don't think it's worth it.

I run black for Tainted Strike and also run Delver of Secrets  ^Flip for a possible turn two kill with Assault Strobe, Mutagenic growth, and Tainted strike. I love the addition of simian spirit guide, you always have Apostle's Blessing mana up, and they don't know it.

+1!!

armed should be temur battle rage. other than that this looks great.

Against turbo fog or just in general you should play around with Grapeshot. storm is just great

grapeshot has more of a place in storm then here, as this is not a storm deck.

How exactly can this cause 60 damage turn 2? It's impossible with the cards you listed.

I'd imagine it'd be with a hand like this:

1x Kiln Fiend, 1x Mountain, 1x Simian Spirit Guide, 1x Gitaxian Probe, 1x Assault Strobe, etc, chaining probe into probe into probe into probe, and the like. Too lazy to actually do math or figure this kind of thing out.

It's in the description. But yeah you need to chain together the probes.

The thing is this deck is a combo deck. You either have it or you don't and gitaxian probe is great as it triggers kiln fiend and the cyclops while also replacing its self. This also isn't really a competitive deck. It's just something fun I play with my friends sometimes. Thanks for your suggestions though. Please +1 if you like it.

Thanks!

I really like your deck, wwhitegoldd and have seen a lot of variants of this, maybe you could sideboard 2 apostles blessings and put in a couple Weapon Surge
