Elementals are incredibly cheap ($$$) and extremely awesome!

Inspired by deck:Flare up

Brighthearth Banneret , Smokebraider , Incandescent Soulstoke can let me cast the big guys in few turns.

Flamekin Harbingerbrings me what I need.

Nova Chaser, Thunderblust are the big guys.

There are a few combos that let me do 20+ damage in one turn.

My favourite is Incandescent Soulstoke + Thunderblust + Fling + Assault Strobe .Cast Thunderblust for 1(R) with Incandescent Soulstoke . It's an 8/3 because it takes +1/+1.Fling it. 8 Damages. He (It?! She?!) returns as a 7/2. Assault Strobe and swing for a 14 total damage with trample. Total mana cost: 2(R)(R)(R), which can be reduced with Smoke Braider by 2.

During my tests I've noticed that a simple mass removal kills me. And I don't really have turn 1 drops except fo Flamekin Harbinger, which is not always a good card because I'm going to lose a draw... Comments, +1, suggestions, critiques are welcome!

Please take a look to the maybeboard if you find anything that worths a try.
