Deck in my favorite colors that I'm currently fiddling with. Not quite tier 1 but able to pack a punch if you get off to a good start.

This version of the deck is based around earlygame play, and hence doesn't contain neither Ranger of Eos nor Proclamation of Rebirth.

The deck has some obvious issues. It doesn't mulligan all that well and suffers from card disadvantage by committing low cost creatures early with no way to replenishing ones hand or board.

What the deck does well is explode in the opponents face. With ample burn the deck has plenty of reach, and with a doublestriking landfaller or 7/1 elemental, the deck can easily win turn 3.

Any advice welcome!

More landfall, more burn! — May 14, 2013

Edit

I finally got my last cards and went through with the heavy landfall package backed up by a playset of Searing Blaze. The Elspeths also got the cut but i kept a couple of Figure of Destiny. I don't know why but i don't fancy the idea of mainboarding 4 Path to Exile.

The sideboard also got rewamped. I've notably been concerned by Burn and token decks lately, and i believe to have found a good take-all sideboard.

Jotun Grunt for GY-hate without stalling my own gameplan. Kor Firewalker for Burn, RDW and mirror matchups. Path to Exile for big threats, notably Tron but also Gifts and sometimes Twin. Refraction Trap for all kinds of spot removal and even RG Tron. Rest in Peace Hard GY hate for Reanimator, Eggs and Dredge. Smash to Smithereens is a card I would like a couple more of. Takes the odd Sword, Batterskull, Isochron Scepter, Cranial Plating or Aether Vial. Stony Silence for Affinity, Eggs and Tron. Volcanic Fallout for Tokens, Geist of Saint Traft and aggro matchups.
