Goal: Get a Kiln Fiend or Nivix Cyclops on the board, although the more the merrier. Buff with Assault Strobe, Infuriate, and/or Titan's Strength. Make unblockable with either Distortion Strike or Slip Through Space. Decimate your opponent with one explosive swing.

Monastery Swiftspear and Delver of Secrets   are quick and easy threats to toss on board, and with any luck could tease out your opponent's removal. If the game is running long or your explosion got quenched, Tolarian Terror allows you to (hopefully) not get squashed in the long run. Stern Dismissal is an excellent tempo play and can even help against a pesky enchantment on a Bogle, while Index flips delver and ensures by turn 3 or 4 you can pull off your detonation. Both also can be used to buff the fiend & cyclops!!

If your ingredients don't mix quite right, the deck fizzles... but it sure is a blast to watch the fireworks of a turn 1 Index, turn two Fiend, and turn 3 KO (assault strobe, slip OR distortion, and any other 1 cantrip grants an unblockable double strike 10 power Fiend, and that's what we call lethal).
