Ideas for BURN in EDH

Overall I'm trying a strategy of:

1. Players can't gain life -- Sulfuric Vortex, Leyline of Punishment

2. Players take damage for normal actions, like tapping lands and playing spells -- Spellshock, Manabarbs

3. Disrupt the game to prevent people from blowing up my stuff or executing their combos -- Blood Moon, Confusion in the Ranks, Possibility Storm, Word of Seizing

4. Control the board with defensive cards like Smoke or Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs, as well as Kumano, plus lots of mana from ramp artifacts plus Mana Flare, and deathtouch from Gorgon's Head and maybe even exile from Sword of Kaldra

Winning

Repercussion + any damage-based board wipe (Blasphemous Act, Starstorm, Molten Disaster) = kill everyone (including yourself... but Glacial Chasm with Expedition Map and Pentagram of the Ages can prevent this)

NOTE: don't add many creatures to ensure this still works. I still added Solemn Simulacrum, Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs because I needed defense and Ensnaring Bridge is too expensive.

Infinite mana combos:

Any infinite red mana combo is an instant win with Kumano.

Inner Fire + Reiterate (with 7 or more cards in hand, or 6 cards in hand with Ruby Medallion)

Mana Geyser + Reiterate (with more than 6 opps' lands tapped)

Also considering to add Comet Storm as a targetted, simpler win condition with enough mana.

Basalt Monolith + Rings of Brighthearth (cut this one because I didn't want to spend for the Rings)

Options

I considered a token sub-theme to make more mana (Ashnod's Altar plus various goblin tokens, also Battle Hymn, Brightstone Ritual, Skirk Prospector, Dragonrage). BUT as a self-respecting pyromancer, I don't want dirty goblins around... grumble.

Notable Exclusions

There's no storm because it's not fun for my playgroup... I'm fascinated by it, but don't want to pain them.

Also left out Heartless Hidetsugu because he is so commonly played.
