Blow your own dudes sky high and kill the opponent while doing so! Casual-Modern deck.

STEP 1 Play your 'IMMOLATE ME' creatures!

• Phyrexian Vindicator
• Boros Reckoner
• Brash Taunter
• Ill-Tempered Loner  

STEP 2 Blow em up!

• Shivan Meteor = 13 to the face.
• Blasphemous Act = 13 X your "IMMOLATE ME" creatures to the face (and the board).

OTHER CARD EXPLANATIONS

• Soulfire Grand Master is there to gain you quite a bit of life (gotta live long enough to burn your own dudes), and ultimately can start to re-use Boros Charm or Lightning Bolt if needed.
• Boros Charm will make your poor dudes live to burn another day or just deal 4 to the face. Also has an interaction with Dictate of the Twin Gods (see below).
• Dictate of the Twin Gods When it's on the board, if any of your 'IMMOLATE-ME' creatures have indestructible (Brash Taunter) or gain indestructible (Boros Charm), the damage is effectively quadrupled (a Lightning Bolt will do 6 damage to one of your 'IMMOLATE ME' creatures, which is then doubled back to 12 damage to the target of your choice). If you make your creatures indestructible via Boros Charm and you have a creature that can target anything (Boros Reckoner, Ill-Tempered Loner  ), then it can target itself, building up infinite damage into your opponent's face. This will also work with a Phyrexian Vindicator and Boros Reckoner, Ill-Tempered Loner   or another Phyrexian Vindicator.

Possibilities:

• Gratuitous Violence is less likely to get you killed than Dictate of the Twin Gods, even if it prevents earlier comboing. Also not legal in Modern.
• Star of Extinction IS the biggest single damage to creatures spell, but without ramp or draw, hitting 7 mana is iffy. Would need to include draw or mana rocks to include.
• Pyroclasm might be needed to survive against aggro decks. Also (most of) your creatures will survive.
• Solphim, Mayhem Dominus is an alternative to Dictate of the Twin Gods
• The original deck featured Mogg Maniac, Spitemare and later Truefire Captain. These are all fine replacements if you do not have the other IMMOLATE ME creatures available.
