A deck that I made for an extended tournament and then converted for modern. It is surprisingly consistent and can pull off turn 2, 3 or 4 wins about 50% of the time. Also, the intimidation of the combo often makes an opponent think twice about attacking so they often instead leave blockers. This can buy a bit of time as the deck lacks card advantage.

Out of 50 games against dummy opponent assuming at least 1 blocker and mulliganing when appropriate. The deck won; 6x(12%) turn 2, 13x(26%) turn 3, 13x turn 4, 9x(18%) turn 5, 9x greater than turn 5.

The deck

So the combos are:

Immolating Souleater + Fling/Soul's Fire/ Assault Strobe /Double Cleave

or Kiln Fiend + two instants/sorceries and Soul's Fire/ Assault Strobe /Double Cleave or fling if one of the other spells was a burn.

Apostle's Blessing and burn helps me get through blockers with the former acting as protection.

Simian Spirit Guide adds the capability for a turn 2 win. After quite a bit of playtesting, it seems to actually add more consistency to the combo although it means that I am now relying exclusively on the combo. Hence any ideas on an alternate win condition would be helpful.
