Call down a variety of mid-or-large creatures to bring the hurt on, and use burn spells to either clear a path for them or directly damage your opponent!

This deck started as a Landslide Charge event deck but I've updated it significantly. This deck seems to run fairly well: between the mix of creatures and burn it's rather versatile, but I'd say it feels lacking in terms of a specialized mechanic or win-con. If I had to pinpoint a weakness I'd say that it's not an especially fast deck, and if I'm unable to draw a Blue mana source then I have a hard time keeping up.

I've been pretty happy with this deck's performance over time, but I haven't made any major changes to it in a while and am looking to update it some. suggestions are welcome!

Updates Add

-2 Mountain

-1 Arlinn Kord  Flip

-2 Crater's Claws

+2 Forest

+2 Boon Satyr

+1 Courser of Kruphix

-2 Destructive Revelry (to Sideboard)

+2 Rancor

Made some changes! Crater's Claws had become dead weight thanks to the inclusion of Lightning Bolt and Thunderous Wrath earlier, and I added two Roasts to the sideboard in the event of Big Scary Things. Arlinn Kord  Flip is great but I often wound up having one in my hand when I either couldn't or didn't need to cast it, so I removed one.

Mainly, I needed more creatures. Courser of Kruphix can help with card advantage. Boon Satyr is a fairly efficient creature that hits hard and acts as a Ferocious trigger; I'm not fond of the 2 Toughness, but the Flash ability is good and if I have mana to burn, using its Bestow ability is a great way to get value out of a single card.

Rancor is a very efficient enchantment that makes any creature on the board into a viable threat. Its graveyard recursion means it can be played at any time with little-to-no risk, and that also keeps it from being a target for enchantment removal.

Curious to see how this plays out! The only other major change I see that I could do is swap the Rattleclaw Mystics for Sylvan Caryatid for more better ramp and blocking. We'll see.
