The goal of this deck is to win fast with high attack low defense creatures like Ball Lightning & Spike Jester with a splash of control from Dash Hopes , Tragic Slip ect. The deck is meant to play fairly simply but also leave you with options. The only real combo is using Assault Strobe and/or Unearth to deal huge burst of damage with Ball Lightning . If you can turn 3 ball lighting for 6 damage then play a swamp turn 4, then unearth the ball lightning and assault strobe it for 12 damage you basically won the game.

Between Vexing Devil , Spike Jester & Ball Lightning there should be plenty of options for Tragic Slip to be a 1 mana kill card.

Browbeat is almost guaranteed to be card draw because your opponent is afraid to soak the 5 life.

Blightning is a must have in any black/red deck its NEVER a bad top deck.

I am looking for a better fit than Rakdos, Lord of Riots because I cant use his mana ability but its hard to beat a 6/6 flying trample for 4 mana.
