The idea behind this deck was initially conceived by Ubermat and his You're Breathing Borrowed Air.

This is my own take on the Purphoros, God of the Forge + Tymaret, the Murder King + Xathrid Necromancer combination and has caused a lot of grief. It remains mostly undefeated against class-mates with the exception of me facing off against a few non-standard combo decks.

I'm looking for suggestions to my sideboard. Thank you ahead of time for suggestions and feedback.

~~~~~Card Interactions~~~~~

Purphoros, God of the Forge + Tymaret, the Murder King + Xathrid Necromancer is the ideal combination to have for a prolonged game. However Tymaret, the Murder King + Xathrid Necromancer or Purphoros, God of the Forge + Xathrid Necromancer is more likely and nearly just as effective.

Turn 3 win: The fastest win I've been able to pull with this deck is turn 1 - Swamp; Play Tormented Hero. Turn 2 - Mountain; Play Madcap Skills on Tormented Hero (Heroic causes opponent to lose 1 life), swing for 5 (Opponent is at 14). Turn 3 - Mountain; Play Armed / Dangerous on Tormented Hero (Heroic puts opponent at 13) and assuming your opponent have less than 2 creatures you swing for 12 unblockable and then you can use the extra mountain to tap for a Coordinated Assault or Titan's Strength either before or after the damage is done because the heroic will finish your opponent off either way.

5-1 FNM — May 18, 2014

Edit

So I've been holding onto and slowly trading for the things I needed to complete this deck at school, and I finally decided to go to my first FNM the other weekend.

We had 5 qualifying rounds for the top 8, and I ended up going 5-0 flawless for those rounds and held 1st place throughout the night.

My first round in the top 8 though, I went up against American Control that killed my spree, but it was a close 1-2 match.

Ended the night in 5th place. I only ended up side boarding cards for maybe 2 different games, so I still need help with that.
