Another Opal/Boom land destruction brew. While my Temur deck Molten Opals focuses on ponza-ing into formidable bodies, this deck uses Snapcaster Mage + more cheap land destruction with Crack the Earth and Squelch to try and blank our opponent's land drop literally every single turn while still running bolts+gleeful for finisher/board control. This is extremely fresh brew and pretty much untested lol

TESTING EDIT: While Synth/Crack make for some extremely silly fun early plays, after some testing I believe the Temur version to be better. That deck just has more teeth late game; the play pattern of land destruction vs. interactive decks is often to completely blank eachother then devolve into topdeck mode, usually with the Ponza deck being +++ on mana. This is where the big bodies of Obsidian Charmaw and Sowing Mycospawn are so important because they impose a serious clock while also working to keep the opponent on limited resources. This build on the other hand has to be extremely lucky to dodge opposing interaction and keep our opponent locked down, because once in topdeck mode the deck tends to be much weaker than whatever our opponents are running.
