@ bmadsenI've never really thought about other options to the Tribal Flames , I feel like its one of the best cards in the deck. Its significantly easier to cast then Jeskai Charm , and I can reliably hit for 5 with it, so I think it outdistances the Boros Charm . Yes my mana base isn't great, but that's something that is going to happen regardless of 4 or 5 colours, The difference between the two isn't that big.

Yeah, Treasure Cruise is insane. With 6 fetches and 25 instants, fifteen of which cost 1 mana, it seems logical to at least play a singleton. Yeah, there's anti-synergy with snappy, but it seems too good to pass up. Don't be afraid to try a second one when you have your "omg why wasn't I playing this before????" moment. I play 4 of them in UR burn, and it is insane.

Yeah I think I'll run maybe 1 or 2, perhaps decreasing the number of paths .

Tribal Flames is a super spicy card. I love it. Have you tried Geist of Saint Traft?

I did run it for a while, and while it is definitely a very powerful card it raises the curve big time. If I wanted to run it I would most likely have to increase the land count. Personally i prefer the lower curve version of the deck but its totally feasible to run Geist of Saint Traft and/or Tarmogoyf if you don't mind increasing the land count.

Deck isn't "Tribal."
Just a small gripe on your tags.

A tribal deck doesn't mean "Elf Tribal" or something, its a deck that utilizes the Domain keyword, in my case for Tribal Flames.

That is actually EXACTLY what Tribal is, Tribal Flames is just named for the set for flavor.
I really wasn't expecting an argument. I was just seeing if you mis-tagged the deck from a previous state or something.
You do know what the Archetype your deck here is, right?

My deck is a "Tribal Delver". It is tribal in the same way a "Tribal Zoo" is tribal. Here's a link to clarify http://www.channelfireball.com/tag/tribal-zoo/

Uhg... I've lost some hope now.
No. Sorry... but that article is very misnformative. How to play it, and most of the notes are pretty well done, but this is called, "Domain Zoo."
It's been around for a while, and got really popular during Innistrad because of Snapcaster Mage and Geist. If you read comments on your link, you'll see some people nonchalantly correcting it. Or look up Domain Zoo you'll see that's what it's actually called.
That Tribal tag IS for creature type tribal decks, and does not refer to "Domain Zoo." You can even click on that tag, and view all the decks and see they are all mostly conveying creature tribal.
It is very ingrained and understood, that tribal refers to creature card types, the same way that "Dual Lands" are not just any lands that can produce two different kinds of mana, but actually a set of 10 cards from Alpha and the other earlier core sets.
I was just supposed be trying to be like, "Hey, that tag seems wrong... maybe you should fix it a little maybe?" But I really don't want to see players going around uninformed or misinformed.

@TheGamer You read my mind with Banishing Light, posted it while I was still typing lmao

Jotefin lmao, you posted in the wrong deck! XD
I don't want to randomly show up and not voice my opinion. I feel like Serum Visions would be a great addition to this list. Cantrip and the scry is nice. +1

Thanks for the suggestion, I appreciate not just littering my deck with random comments ;).

Wow, this is quite an interesting build. I really like how this plays much more like Pauper Domain Zoo, rather than traditional Modern Domain Zoo. I've always like the explosiveness as soon as you achieve Domain, and how easy it is to do 8-10 damage a turn as soon as Tribal Flames is at its best. The more I look at this, the more I like it! I might have to look into building, or at least testing this! Could you give any tournament reports or possibly how it does against pillars of the format? It looks fairly well positioned with all of its removal but I think it might need more draw power in order to not take such hard hits from Thoughtseize and Inquisition of Kozilek in the the decks of our new BGx overlords now that Cruise is banned. My thoughts are to either get rid of the Leaks or the Helixes, and put 4x Serum Visions as it is the best replacement now. Anyway, definite +1 and would love to hear any results achieved with the deck!

Its match ups are fairly good against most decks, it has issues with cards like Kitchen Finks, Siege Rhino and Timely Reinforcements. As far as discard goes, due to the high power level of the deck from running the best of 4 colours, they often can't remove enough of my threats. As far as Serum Visions goes, in my opinion its a trap. It doesn't actually provide any card advantage as it cantrips, but it does give a bit of filter, however I don't think that's worth it. If I was going to run a cantrip I would look at Electrolyze.

I'd love to see more lifegain than just Timely Reinforcements.

Hey man! commented a while back, I like what you've done with the deck list since, may even go back to mine and give it a tune up. Anyway, just looking it over, do you think running black is worth it? I mean you only have 3 black cards on your sideboard, and tribal flames is the only card that really gets a pump from it. I would think it would be better to cut a few the black spells, add a few more basics and balance out the mana a bit, and then maybe replace the tribal flames with something that had a bit more versatility to it. Jeskai charm maybe? or boros charm if that's to high on mana cost.
