The deck that uses X to swing at your opponent, with a lot of mana too boot.
--- end description ---

Lands:

Molten Slagheap x 4
Fungal Reaches x 4
Mountain x 18

Shivan Hellkite x 4
Bogardan Hellkite x 4
Lightning Serpent x 4

Braid of Fire x 4

Rite of Flame x 4
Molten Disaster x 4
Disintegrate x 4
Blaze x 4
Incinerate x 2

So, the point is to get out a Braid of Fire ASAP, and then eat through all your mana to slam your opponent. Blaze and Disintegrate are the main ways to do that, with Molten Disaster and Lightning Serpents helping. Any left over mana from Braid of Fire gets eaten through with Shivan Hellkites. Storage lands = more mana = more burning.

Any thoughts?

EDIT: Dang. I found out that mana burn happens at the end of each phase. *goes to try to cram Teferi in the deck..., some way, some how*

Teferi still won’t let you play Blaze and Disintegrate, and Hellkite itself has flash, so not necessary. Then again, mana burn does not necessarily happens at the end of each phase, for instance, Braid of Fire triggers during the upkeep, but the mana burn only occurs at the end of your draw step, so you CAN draw an instant/flash card and use it. Then again, you can just pack green for Upwelling. Just keep the storage lands, because if an opponent destroys Upwelling, you can "sink" the Braid mana into them by paying 1 and removing 0 counters as many times as necessary.

I was thinking maybe Teferi + Lightning Serpent.

Oh well. I can absorb with storage lands, and I plan to run Upwelling. Especially since it totally hoses Rune Snag. Twisted Evil It’ll probably get Oblivion-ed.

So, I’d work in green probably with Fungal Reaches, the Pains and Shimmering Grotto, right?
