Burn deck featuring Elite Arcanist and splash green for mana-ramp from Zhur-Taa Druid , Savageborn Hydra, and Primeval Bounty. The druid's green mana is mostly there to get an extra colorless in, and I chose it over Elvish Mystic because it has a red symbol in the cost and doles out a free 1 damage to the opponent. Savageborn Hydra is a fantastic beefy creature with built-in cheap pumping, so he's a given in the deck because of the midrange survivability he offers. Primeval Bounty is in the deck for late-game fun. Playing that turn 5 or 6 opens the door for a whole bunch of shenanigans. It's a post-rotation deck, which means I'm including Magma Jet, which has fantastic synergy with Elite Arcanist, who also works well (and the Druid does too) with Ral Zarek. Ral is also nice for the Lightning Bolt that comes with his -2. It's a very heavily Instant-based deck, with Guttersnipe and Chandra's Phoenix somewhat predictably at the helm. Chandra, Pyromaster is in as a one-of because I think she's fantastic and she helps me get out what is effectively another card draw. Cheap burn like Shock and Skullcrack are always useful and helpful (especially when they trigger the Guttersnipe and [Chandra's Phoenix]], but mostly the Guttersnipe. Turn / Burn is in the deck because, while it does not due to its nature as a fuse card synergize well with Elite Arcanist, there are 12 other instants in the deck and only 2 of the Arcanist- it's a fantastic burn/control card in its own right, and deals with Voice of Resurgence and big or indestructible creatures. Besides, it brings my blue curve to a perfect 8 to match the green. At present the only pre-rotation cards are the buddy lands ( Sulfur Falls and Rootbound Crag).

I have yet to finish building this deck, and I would absolutely appreciate any help or suggestions from everyone here. Thank you, and enjoy!
