Umm, 5/5 double strike is 10 damage.
And the cards you're looking for are Kiln Fiend, Nivix Cyclops, and Wee Dragonauts. There's a lot of modern decks in the archetype.

5/5 with doublestrike does make 10 damage, but Tainted Strike gives it infect.
May 20, 2015 5:54 p.m.
it has infect =P
Also, It's kind of suicidal, so Nivix Cyclops and Wee Dragonauts are a little slow, but I like Kiln Fiend. I've known that it's really good for a while, I just forgot about it.

I need to ask you guys, what do I drop for Kiln Fiend? :(
May 20, 2015 5:57 p.m.
Maybe Street Wraith? It draws a card but you have plenty of other things that do that.

You could also add Noxious Revival and Gut Shot for extra 'free' cards.

Fair enough, my bad. Tainted strike definitely ups the suicide level, because tainted strike for 8 poison doesn't do any good if you don't draw another one. That's why it didn't even register.

Vines of Vastwood would probably be better than Apostle's Blessing and Groundswell.
May 20, 2015 6:17 p.m.
MSU_Iced_Z it's fine, I can understand that flying over people's heads.
SirFowler definitely liking Noxious Revival, not sure about gut shot.
TheHroth I think I should replace Apostle's Blessing with it.

I found a great card - not as good as Monastery Swiftspear, but still great - Goblin Guide
May 20, 2015 6:55 p.m.
Hah yes you're right goblin guide is a great card. It's used in all modern burn decks and some other decks as well because of its power level. I don't really want it though cause It doesn't really work together with my instants unlike Monastery Swiftspear. Also, I wouldn't know what to drop if I considered it.
May 20, 2015 7:17 p.m.
well, I was thinking that if you wanted a creature with an ability like prowess, you could try Satyr Hoplite. It doesn't have haste, but that can be fixed with Crimson Wisps (and you get to draw a card while you're at it.) I don't know if I want to put these in my deck, but I'm thinking about it.
May 20, 2015 7:26 p.m.
meh maybe. I don't really like Satyr Hoplite, but Crimson Wisps could be viable I guess.
May 20, 2015 7:28 p.m.
Yeah I feel 4 color is enough, and I want the deck to be kind of suicidal. I'll consider it though. Also, I +1nd yours, can you plus 1 mine? :D

How about adding Street Wraith instead of Spark Elemental? Free card draw.
