I like aggro. That much is clear. When you stuff aggro with cards like these, it gets really fun. This deck is all about cards that punish players for obeying the rules, like Megrim and Burning Earth . The good stuff.

Some good synergies & Combos:

• Citadel of Pain + Burning Earth Synergy

Players take damage for a vast majority of lands they own. This is a real pain to deal with (pun intended), especially for players being manaflooded.

• Bloodchief Ascension + Mindcrank Combo

This begins an infinite deluge of discards and damage. Pain Magnification and Furnace of Rath drive the point home, and Everlasting Torment seals the deal. While Wound Reflection triggers at end of turn, and your opponent is likely dead by then, it's just adding insult to injury.

• Maralen of the Mornsong + Stranglehold Combo

Opponents cannot gain any cards, but Stranglehold exempts the user from punishment.

• Spiteful Visions + Wheel of Fortune Synergy

A quick and easy seven damage to pull out, and with Wound Reflection and Furnace of Rath out it climbs to 28.

Any suggestions and synergies that I missed are welcome in the comments. I found this on a forum somewhere, so if anyone knows who formulated this masterpiece, let me know so I can credit them duly.
