Expansion//Explosion + Ral, Storm Conduit is fun. Hoping I can make it viable (even if it's not that strong competitively) to dunk on my friends with big blasts.

Win condition is Explosion + Ral, Storm Conduit or Explosion + Niv-Mizzet, Parun. Rest of it is control oriented things to keep the board clear and prevent threats from resolving. Hoping for suggestions on just making the deck better in general (i.e. better control cards, improving how to set up win con, sideboard changes to cover different matchups, etc.).

The deck is based on the Expansion//Explosion deck I ran back when Ixalan was in rotation. It's been a hot second since I played MTG, so there's probably some new mechanics and cards I don't know about that would be good for this deck. I've been considering switching to Temur, but for now I'm sticking to Jeskai.

P.S. My friends tend to play Rakdos (starring Rakdos himself, not just the colors) decks, Pig God, and mono-green aggro. Additional help against those would be appreciated!
