Just a cute deck for multiplayer that's very fast: Go for the throat with quick attacks or stall the board for the finishing blow!

This deck aims to combine creatures created by Young Pyromancer and various graveyard-interactions with Goblin Bombardment and Priest of Forgotten Gods, both gaining a lot more value by Anger in the graveyard giving them haste. There's tons of other value in form of Kess, Dissident Mage, Expressive Iteration and Mystic Sanctuary, but the true finishers are Grave Pact and Cyclonic Rift. The redundancy of this deck allows for these finishers to not occupy unnecessary slots and giving you weird hands.

Yes, I'm aware this deck has 80 cards. This has the downside of having fewer of your best cards, namely dark ritual and brainstorm. However it also makes it likely to draw fewer of your toolbox cards like Wonder or Dread Return in your starting hand. Multiplayer games also tend to take long and I'd risk running out of threats if I let's say only played 4 Young Pyromancer and 4 Arclight Phoenix. Most importantly though it makes for more fun to play with this tool-box approach that's still very, very consistent (mainly due to mystic sanctuary, blue cantrips and entomb).

The numbers are pretty much set in stone at this point in time. There's basically a reason behind every single quantity of a specific card and I'm really proud of how consistent, interesting and fun this deck is to play. It's powerful and quick, but without giving the opponent zero chance to interact and sucking the fun out of a game (without some very specific cards) like let's say reanimating a turn-1 Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur would be. In my group we have some sort of gentleman's agreement against combos like this that just win the game against everyone on turn 1 or 2.
