Never played a Spellslinger deck in EDH before, but the opportunity was too good to ignore with this particular Commander.

While firmly in the Control archetype, the deck is all about gaining value from Hinata's cost reduction ability, and it does this by utilizing a number of absurdly powerful spells that hit multiple targets. Suddenly spells you'd usually pay out the nose for will cost you as little as one or two mana, despite maintaining their full effect! It's not outlandish to aim for finishing off the entire table with a single burn spell - hence the deck's name.

Other than that we mainly aim for keeping our opponents' boards small or clear with various spells, and using those same spells to proc a considerable number of token generators. Note that these tokens can go both big and/or wide, depending on the creatures you play. We also use various blink spells and counterspells to keep Hinata alive, as it won't take long for our opponents to recognize her as a royal pain in their bums. The 99 are rounded out with a bit of card draw, as we are ever hungry for more spells.

The land count may seem small, but the mana rocks should help offset this, and the deck is low to the ground in many respects, so we should be fine.

There were so many great cards to include here, tweaking everything took quite a while, and this list by no means has to be definitive. You can see what I ended up cutting in the Maybeboard; feel free to swap things in and out to your heart's desire. I know some of my choices for cuts are well within the realm of the controversial.

Enjoy!
