Why Burn and not Pump?

I originally included more Pump creature spells. After careful consideration, play testing and watching others play the format - I've realized how strong removal can be in this format. As a result I've tried to include some of the best Removal/Face Burn to give high versatility/Value based on the current board state. This should give me the option to either go for the kill or control the state of the board. Additionally I feel that If the deck only ran X/0 Pump such as Fists of the Anvil that it could become too vulnerable to Boomerang spells. The choice to run mostly burn ensures obtaining good card value and reduces the risk of massive card trades that bounce may cause. I've only included some of the best pump spells.

Mana management?

I felt whilst play testing this deck that some of my original 3 mana spells often felt very clunky. Ultimately all this did was prolong the number of turns before could effectively combo out. I've only included the best of the 3 mana drop spells such as Rush of Blood which played last in a combo can easily line up an unblockable 1 shot.

Tutor value

The deck includes 3 tutors - Mystical Tutor, Gamble, Personal Tutor.

These tutor's allow you to either:

1.)Search out an unblock-able spell such as Distortion Strike to combo out.

2.) Search out Assault Strobe or similiar spells to increase your combo output.

3.)Search out Gamble to search for a creature you may need.
