Versatile Two-Headed Giant modern deck.

The goal is to activate Bloodchief Ascension as soon as possible with instant burn spells paired with another deck's creature damage. Then kill creatures and make them discard to drain their life. Play Guttersnipe and go crazy burning the opposite team.

The main weakness of this deck are enchantments because {R}{B} don't have answers for them. It should be paired with another deck with good removals like Destructive Revelry to compensate. It's not really good against heavy control, storm or Living End, but it can destroy most creatures based deck and interfere during combat. This deck could also be paired with Mindcrank for the combo.

-Bloodchief Ascension is the first centerpiece of the deck. Especially strong when played turn 1. With instant spells I can deal damage to the other team on their turns and get the counters faster. When active, my opponents are going to lose life all the time. Oh, and I gain all that life for myself. Great.
-Guttersnipe is the second centerpice. He add 4 damage to the team with my spells. Great with Rebound for free spell casts.
-Smallpox is good for hexproof or big creatures. With Bloodchief Ascension active, it drains 12 life to the other team. (+2 life loss)
-Slagstorm can wipe the board or burn everybody, knowing the opposite team should already have a lower life total.
-Tragic Slip almost always have morbid active and can kill big threats.
-Chandra, Torch of Defiance is amazing. The first +1 gets me a card to play, or deals 4 damage to the other team. {R}{R} can help me cast more cards. The other 2 abilities are nice bonus but rarely needed.

-Cut / Ribbons will be tested. Cut only hit creatures... But Ribbons could end games, hitting each opponent. Good for late games when I'm low on cards in hand.

Sideboard is normally not used in 2HG because it's one match only. But sometimes we are doing 2-3 games if we don't have enough players. I tried to get as much as I could in the main board for that reason.
