My take on the Wrath of the Mortals event deck from Journey Into Nyx
Initial removals:
-1 Oracle of Bones : Too situation for me, I'd rather replace it with a card with a guaranteed effect
-1 Steam Augury : Same as above, and I just don't like losing potentially good cards
-1 Anger of the Gods : 3 mana for 3 damage, mmm no thanks. The second effect is only really helpful against Golgari decks. Might consider throwing some of these in the sideboard.
-1 Fated Conflagration : I feel like the mana cost is too high for what I want to be a very fast deck.
-1 Spellheart Chimera : This was a tough one. I really like this card in this deck, but I feel that having another Young Pyromancer to create a tonne of cannon fodder blockers might be for the best.
-2 Island, -2 Mountain : Just gonna replace these with Temples
Initial Additions:
+1 Battlefield Thaumaturge : Cheap spells are the best spells. Being able to hit your opponent with 2 Lightning Strike instead of 1 is too good an opportunity to miss out on.
+1 Ogre Battledriver : Works too well with the Battlefield Thaumaturge and Young Pyromancer combo. More spells, more tokens, more damage!
+1 Mizzium Mortars : I've always been incredibly biased towards this card, so there's no way I'm not putting another in here.
+1 [Young Pyromancer] : This guy is pretty central to this deck, in combination with Ogre Battledriver he can be incredibly devastating early at any point of the game.
+4 Temple of Epiphany : Goes without saying.
I've added two Keranos, God of Storms to the maybe pile, just in case. Letting your opponent know what's in your hand can be annoying, but if the game becomes a damage race he can really carry his own weight.
SO! Some win conditions!
1st: Raw damage from instants and sorceries! Quite possible, and with the Battlefield Thaumaturge reducing the cost of everything, this could happen quite quickly.
2nd: Creature damage! This is where Young Pyromancer and Ogre Battledriver are going to become a real pain for your opponents; getting 3 or 4 spells of in a turn, and then having a swarm of tokens coming at them is not a fun moment for your opponent. And let's not forget the likes of AEtherling, Chandra's Phoenix and Spellheart Chimera, all of which are going to get worse and worse for your opponent as the game goes on.
3rd: Guttersnipe! This guy is a win condition on his own. He is that great a card, just combo him with Battlefield Thaumaturge and your opponent is in a lot of trouble. I love this guy.
