This is a deck that relies on asymmetrical earthquakes and small beaters. The earthquakes are asymmetrical because the small beaters have protection from red.

This deck is totally fine against aggro decks like Delver and Affinity. It's alright against control, provided you can land a few earthquakes and tip the balance with a couple bolts.

The earthquake effects: Earthquake, Volcanic Fallout,Pyrohemia, Anger of the Gods.

The beaters: Kor Firewalker, Auriok Champion, Soltari Priest, Silver Knight.

The green splash: Hurricane, Heartbeat of Spring, SB Ancient Grudge.

The plan against aggro decks is pretty simple. Just keep casting earthquakes! Midrange is a bit harder, since we'll probably need Heartbeat of Spring to be effective. This matchup would probably board in Wrath of God.

I'm not sure how it would play against control or combo. I don't actually have any of these cards so it's kind of hard for me to test it.
