Well, this was my first EDH deck so I had to play it extensively to get an idea of how it ran. After many runs I've updated the deck list quite a bit, and it's running very well now. My meta hates this deck :P Comments reset

Fine Tuning
GhostBall, 10 years ago
Played some casual over the weekend and this deck performed better than I even expected. It really hits from all angles and can go over the top of big creatures, put up a substantial amount of chump blockers quickly, gain life when needed, run as a fast aggro deck, or slow play with creature removal and burn cards. I was up against U/B control, Hero's Blade legendary brew, RDW kinda like this, Orzhov deathtouch brew, and a bw dragon brew.
The deck ran extremely well against all. I had answers for every deck. The only deck that gave me trouble was RDW. After SB in Roast, Chained to the Rocks and Ultimate Price all was good.
Still looking to tune it up and will be taking it to an FNM this week so stay tuned.

I managed to get hold of the Goblin Guides, so in they went. I also found the Gemstone Mines in a box of old stuff, and thought that thay'd work well in a deck like this. Chandra's Phoenix now gone; fun, but too slow for this deck. Collateral damage gone; too few creatures to make it work consistently. Eidolon is now maindeck, sideboard is edited slightly. I'm aware this is now more like the majority of Modern Burn decks out there! Comments and suggestions still welcome.
changed some cards
vinnie108, 10 years ago
I took off Curse of the Bloody Tome, Siren of Silent Song and Grindclock, and added 4x Hedron Crab
I made the deck more realistic
Loganserge1, 10 years ago
I took out the Black Lotus and put in Athreos, God of Passage and Take Up Arms. I also took out some lands and added Chief of Scale, Chief of Edge, and 4x Oreskos Swiftclaw

Slightly meaner tweaks
Das_Shishka, 10 years ago
So as much as I love her, Skithyrix had to go. I liked having her as a pillowforty option in the earlier game, but she was really in there to be an alternate win-con. And for that she was too slow. I also took out the black command because it was consistently under-performing. I added in Curse of the Cabal as well as Mindslaver, with the idea that people would stress over the suspend and voluntarily sac some of their permanents to keep it from hitting, until I took their turn and sac'd all their permanents for them. We'll see how it does.
Few more Cards to add to the deck.
Aroix, 10 years ago
Have come into possession of the following cards for this deck:
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
Extraplanar Lens
Koth of the Hammer
Mind's Eye
Punishing Fire
Thousand-Year Elixir
Flamekin Village
Blasphemous Act
Chaos Warp
Buried Ruin
Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle
Current issues are that this still only totals up to 96/100 cards, and I'm not quite sure what to add from my maybe board (which is what I have in my inventory). Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Pauper fans, I'm sorry
Flyers167, 10 years ago
Decided to put Stubborn Denial back in over Dispel. It's just so much better. If you want me to change it back, feel free to say so in the comments. I'm not sure I'm keeping it this way
Edit 1
west789, 10 years ago
Swapping out 2x doubling season for 2x hardened scales. Despite my love for doubling season, it simply costs too much for how little it realistically affects things. Hardened scales acts as a much more reliable early game drop. added in 2x dromoka's command Swapped out ainok bond-kin for abzan falconer. first strike is cool, but flying is more practical. 2x mutavault swapped for 2x temple garden Considerations: Removing Garuuk all together. No real consistent affect on gameplay significant enough to keep him in as a necessity. But we'll see.
The Mardu addition
The_Winter_Frau, 10 years ago
Thank you to army88strong for your suggestion. I've added in Mardu Ascendancy and Mana Confluence for the red mana. Looks to be a ruddy good combo if I can make it work. Also removed the Territorial Roc and Abzan Charm, replaced them with two one drops, Lagonna Band Trailblazer and Shape the Sands. Also also replaced the Archer's Parapet with Jeskai Barricade.
tinkering
puhalakaust, 10 years ago
For now, added 1 Stormbreath Dragon and 1 Crux of Fate to mainboard. Took out 1 Mardu Ascendancy (moved to sideboard) and 1 Anger of the Gods (also side boarded). Took 1 Mardu Roughrider out of sideboard as well. Would like to make room for potentially 1-2 more Stormbreath Dragons OR Thunderbreak Regents in mainboard and 3 Rending Volley/Self-Inflicted Wound on sideboard.
