This is a midrange control deck. It tries to play somewhat reactively early in the game, but not shy either about getting bodies on the board. It can dig for cards as needed. By turn four or five it looks for a window to crash in and swing for big chunks of damage. It can use burn to finish the last bit of damage.

Let me know what you think!

Blade Splicer + Hellrider + Phantasmal Image = 18 damage for 9 mana.

Cool synergy between cheap spells Young Pyromancer + Hellrider.

Snapcaster Mage can re-trigger pyromancer and so much more.

Chandra's Phoenix is a great post board-wipe drop. Gets me right back on the gas. Can also be triggered by burn, potentially netting me a haste flier and a 1/1 elemental.

Restoration Angel for extra tokens. Can also be used as a surprise EoT follow up with Hellrider, 8 dmg swing. Can protect dudes.

Sun Titan for getting dudes back. Finisher. Might swap this for Wurmcoil Engine.

----Utility cards----

Serum Visions digs for cards.

Lightning Helix seems relevant against aggro. Also fixes self-harm from shock lands.

Oblivion Ring I love. Can be hard to deal with. Hits Karn Liberated.

Mana Leak is self explanatory

Lightning Bolt helps burn the last bit of life. Can remove creatures.

Electrolyze forkable 2 damage cantrip. Nice.

Supreme Verdict and Day of Judgment reset the board when I'm ahead.

Caved to Geist of Saint Traft. It's very good in the 3 cmc spot.

Going to try +2 Guttersnipe.
