Note: This deck is not completely my own, and was mainly inspired by this list: http://magic.tcgplayer.com/db/article.asp?ID=12075

This deck is very much so a work in progress. As of right now, there's a few things that I'm working out as far as exactly what it is I want the deck to do. I have a feeling that there's a strange mix of creatures and burns. I am a huge fan of Aven Mindcensor for that bit of hate against people that abuse fetches. Magma Jet is also incredibly useful, as it allows me to cycle through my deck quicker.

Grim Lavamancer is interesting, but I'm not sure if I want to keep him in the deck right now. Since the deck does burn out pretty quickly, I was thinking of possibly using Faithless Looting to help get me the cards I want and also help feed the lavamancer friend.

Isochron Scepter is fantastic and has snuck many wins from the back burner. It also helps with sustainability of the deck.

I am aware that I do not have Blood Moon, however I am not a fan of that card in the slightest.

As I'm getting more experienced, I'm finding that Lightning Bolt is not all it's cracked up to be. Yeah, it's a strong and cheap burn, but it doesn't offer utility like many of my other burns do.
