Played Jeskai Aggro with Stormchaser Mage and Mantis Rider for a while. Deck felt too slow. Converted to Mardu Burn with Bump in the Night and Blightning and a lot less creatures but the deck felt like it wanted to turn dudes sideways more and the Blightning felt too slow. Added the Stormchaser Mage back into the main deck and dropped the Blightning. Deck is straight fire now. There is the typical Stomping Ground present for the Destructive Revelry from the board. The main deck is 4 colors incorporating the black for Bump in the Night which gives really good late game reach and the blue for the Stormchaser Mage. I have been really enjoying it. The Eidolon of the Great Revel in the side is mainly for the Storm matchup since they are just a little faster than this deck is. Being able to run Nihil Spellbomb and get the incidental card drawn feels really good too.

UPDATE: With the unbanning of Bloodbraid Elf I tested the build with Blightning and Bloodbraid Elf main. The BBE does not perform well enough to justify continued inclusion but I did top the local tournament I tested it in. I have decided to drop the 4 Lava Spike and include the 4 Blightning in the list once again, mainly because my 4 Blightning are all full art textless. Also -2 Spell Pierce and +2 Smash to Smithereens in the sideboard, mainly because there are a lot of Affinity in my local meta and because answering Wurmcoil Engine and Platinum Emperion is important. Also I am running Spike Jester main instead of Goblin Guide so at this point I actually own the entire deck on paper. Tested with Spike Jester at the event also and it worked very well.
