This is a decklist that I'm building in anticipation for the M15 core set, and in particular Chasm Skulker.

The general idea is to combine burn with draw and multiple win-cons to overwhelm the enemy.

List of win-cons:

Tokens + Purphoros, God of the Forge

Draw + Chasm Skulker.

Tokens + Burn at the Stake

A pumped Chasm Skulker and Fling.

At a certain point, if the enemy tries to kill Chasm Skulker, they will burn by way of Purphoros, God of the Forge.

My main focus was to create a deck with excellent flexibility, that can change tactics depending on the situation. It both buffs creatures and burns, often at the same time!

What do you think? Do I need more burn? More Draw? More Control/Counters? This is my first attempt at building a deck like this, and I'd love some feedback.
