basically cheating

Get Zirilan out as quickly as possible. Use artifacts to untap him for multiple activations, use illusionists bracers to get extra activations. Attack with gigantic hasty dragons. Steal artifacts, deal massive damage, do kill stuff with triggered abilities, take extra combat steps, the world is your oyster.

Use things like sundial of the infinite to cancel out the end step exile trigger. Use erratic portal to bounce them to your hand, use tel-jilad's stylus or rishadan pawnshop to put them on the bottom of your deck for future tutoring. You get the idea.

use worldgorger to dodge board wipes.

steel hellkite is good at killing things that red sucks at killing like enchantments.

use balefire dragon as a one sided board wipe against token decks

braid of fire is free activations and use of artifacts

lots of great little tricks with this deck that can all be done at instant speed.

you can kill an entire pod from having only zirilan and a couple of artifacts on the board with stuff like dragon tyrant, and moonveil dragon. Most damage I've done in one swing so far is 161. Most cards I've drawn at once (with knollspine dragon) is 37. Most creatures balefire has killed in one hit was 236 elves and squirrels, a seedborn muse, rhys so 238 in total.

Deck is a lot of fun and very explosive.

Damage doublers are cool but in my opinion unnecessary and they just make you a target. Honorable mentions, staff of domination, thousand-year elixir, mana crypt, mana vault. They'd be in the deck but I don't have them.
