Rather than playing the old Nekusaur burns deck, I've decided to simply use him as a draw engine to fuel a deck designed to steal the best creatures and kill the rest.

It's TONS of fun to play!!!

AGGRO

This deck has brutal aggro abilities! Archetype of Imagination makes everything you control unblockable! Gratuitous Violence makes your creatures very deadly both from combat and from indirect damage! Savage Beating can easily end a game.

Heavy Hitters / Awesome Combos

Curiosity + Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind = Death - provided I don't draw myself out of cards :D

Master of Cruelties + Archetype of Imagination = Somebody just lost

Black Market + Elemental Mastery + sac outlet = MANA!!!

Quest for Pure Flame this little 1 cost enchant builds up fast and pays for it'self EVERYTIME. Could be fun with Corrupted Conscience

Homeward Path + Cultural Exchange + sac outlet = 6 mana single person boardwipe, then you get your stuff right back at the end of the turn :)

Deathbringer Thoctar (wipe all 1/1's off the board at instant speed) + Goblin Sharpshooter (wipe all the 2/2's) + Gratuitous Violence = Wipe up to 4/4's off the field at instant speed... You jelly yet? That combo is stupid powerful!!!

Cultural Exchange + Elemental Mastery OR Ogre Slumlord's rats = Not a very nice trade >:D

Stalking Vengeance + Gratuitous Violence = ALOT of free damage on players. "Don't boardwipe me bro!" Then add in Vela the Night-Clad + Elemental Mastery Pretty painful burns when all the little guys die, also another big "Don't boardwipe me Bro!"

Perplexing Chimera + Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker = PURE JANK ... ... Scratch that Kiki-Jiki himself = Pure Jank easiest card in the game to abuse.

---

How do I plan on getting these combos out? Lots of card draw + Teferi's Puzzle Box to DIG!

---

What do you guys think?

This deck has done AWESOME in playtesting! Few mana issues, tons of mind-control! Silly Combos everywhere!!! So far it's been tons of fun to play and has a great win ratio!

Is there anything else I should consider?
