Desperate Ritual
Instant — Arcane
Gain
Splice onto Arcane (As you cast an Arcane spell, you may reveal this card from your hand and pay its splice cost. If you do, add this card's effects to that spell.)

$10 Controlled Burn, Arcane Edition! [UltraBudget]
2 weeks ago
Going into 3 colours on a budget can be tough, but there are some great options - Field of Ruin, Exotic Orchard, Aether Hub/Crumbling Vestige, etc. They aren't perfect, but a little planning can get them to stick.
The biggest thing I can offer is that splicing to arcane has various combos with 'copy spell with x cmc or less' effects. Izzet Guildmage+Desperate Ritual is traditional, but guildmage plays nice with everything else. Similarly, Sea Gate Stormcaller, Dual Strike etc.
With all of that said, I'd look at blue creatures - Delver of Secrets Flip etc, with some etb effects like stormcaller, with Veil of Secrecy as protection rather than stretching to white.

Hey! You've given a suggestion on one of my decks, so I've thought I could return the favor. :)
I'm not sure how casual/competitive this deck is aimed to be, so I will give suggestions for both.
For a more competitive deck, I'd suggest:
-
"Mana spells" (Turnabout, Brass's Bounty, Inner Fire)
-
Extra turns (Time Stretch, Alchemist's Gambit) - The ones which go into your graveyard are generally stronger as use them again later.
-
Forks (Increasing Vengeance, Bonus Round, Galvanic Iteration, Refuse / Cooperate) - From my experience the forks which can be cast from the graveyard are really good as you they can wait for you there until you're casting something big.
-
This ridiculous 1-card win combo: [any other tutor] into Firemind's Foresight into Reiterate, Desperate Ritual, Fall of the Titans
The first three help you create disgusting solitaire turns while the last one may be the easiest win with Mizzix there is.
For a more casual deck, I'd suggest:
-
not playing infinite combos :D
-
limit the number of the "mana spells" and extra turns (Mizzix is ridiculously powerful for a casual meta and solitaire turns are annoying)
-
some flavorful permanents (my suggestions: Metallurgic Summonings (and other token-making permanents), Thousand-Year Storm, Primal Amulet Flip, Sorcerer Class, Sentinel Tower, Erratic Cyclops, Melek, Izzet Paragon <- not that great but fun imo)
General card suggestions:
Mizzix's Mastery, Epic Experiment, Chaos Warp, Commit / Memory, Volcanic Vision, Invert / Invent, Prophetic Bolt, Frantic Search, Pore Over the Pages, Rewind, Solve the Equation and once again Bonus Round (this card is seriously good)
Also, I invite you to have a look at my old Mizzix deck and/or my up-to-date Zaffai deck for some inspiration.
I'm sorry for the long comment in case you didn't wish for suggestions. Just wanted to help. :^)

Neat concept! Pyrohemia is a super cool card.
I think you could maybe lean a bit more into the prison theme here. Some cards like Manamorphose and Fling seem more like filler. Deflecting Palm also doesn't really do much here, since it will only redirect one instance of Pyrohemia. The next cards to cut, if you do need to cut more, would probably be Rile and maybe a land.
To replace these cards I would probably go up to a 3rd Pyrohemia. Some classic prison cards are Ensnaring Bridge and Blood Moon, which are unfortunately pretty expensive but do a lot of work. Maindeck Blood Moon especially looks very strong here, even if you can only get a hold of 2 copies. Some other cards like Fury could probably be good here to pitch extra copies of Pyrohemia, but its unfortunately quite expensive as well and I would definitely prioritize getting Moons over this.
Blasphemous Act is a very strong card, but also pretty conditional. I think including a a few smaller wipes like Slagstorm would be a good idea (maybe 2?). Chandra, Torch of Defiance is a very strong walker that isn't too expensive, and you could include 2 or so copies here. Walkers seem good since they aren't hit by Pyrohemia.
Monored Prison frequently plays rituals like Desperate Ritual (and used to play Simian Spirit Guide rip monke) to ramp faster into their 3 drop prison pieces. It could help you drop an earlier Pyrohemia, although it wont let you drop a turn 2 3-drop into a turn 3 pyrohemia.

Some interesting tech: Ghost Quarter and Field of Ruin are Cleansing Wildfire on lands. I'd definitely run them.
If you can afford them, Arid Mesa and Scalding Tarn are at all-time lows, I'd snap one of each up as soon as possible if it's in your budget.
The big thing Moraug wants is to make several land drops in one turn, so maximizing the number of fetch effects in the deck is key.
One thing you also want is to cast Moraug as fast as possible. He is six mana and that can be clunky, to say the least. I'd consider rituals, at the very least Irencrag Feat and Seething Song, but optimally those plus Pyretic Ritual, Desperate Ritual, Rite of Flame and Simian Spirit Guide. Those can help you get Moraug out quickly or just let you slam your other big things like Etali as soon as possible. Consider cutting some of the less powerful things like Glint-Horn, Feldon and Magus.
I was gonna say "cut Felhide Spiritbinder" but with him and something like Terror, Fanatic or Combat Celebrant you can do some busted stuff. Neheb + Celebrant + Spiritbinder is pseudo infinite, by the way, and it just gets super busted with Moraug's "+1/+0 for each attack" clause.

It’s pretty confusing, but it is a “Doomsday” combo that can be set up in Turn 3 and start/kill Turn 4.
Turn 3: Cast Recross the Paths, as the card resolves you reveal your entire library to show there are no lands. Since the card says “…put the rest of the cards on the bottom of your library in any order…”, you get to order the deck to:
- Turntimber Symbiosis Flip
- Reforge the Soul
- Pact of Negation (if you want, just helps protect the combo)
- Shatterskull Smashing Flip
- Pact of the Titan
- Infernal Plunge
- Pyromancer Ascension
- Manamorphose
- Manamorphose
- Manamorphose
- Manamorphose (yes 4 lol)
- Bala Ged Recovery Flip
- Desperate Ritual
- Desperate Ritual
- Bala Ged Recovery Flip
- Whatever you want (Goblin Charbelcher, Spikefield Hazard Flip, Fury, Force of Vigor, etc. etc.)
After stacking your deck, you clash with your opponents and reveal Turntimber Symbiosis Flip, put it on the bottom of your library, and put Recross the Paths back into your hand.
Turn 4:
In your draw step, draw and reveal Reforge the Soul to trigger miracle and cast it. Draw:
- Pact of Negation
- Shatterskull Smashing Flip
- Pact of the Titan
- Infernal Plunge
- Pyromancer Ascension
- Manamorphose x 2
Now we should have one untapped land, follow the steps below:
- Play Shatterskull, the Hammer Pass Flip untapped
- Cast Pact of the Titan
- Cast Infernal Plunge, sacrificing the 4/4 Giant; 3 Red floating, 1 lands Untapped
- Cast Pyromancer Ascension; 2 Red Floating
- Cast Manamorphose, add 1 Red and 1 Green, draw the third Manamorphose; 1 Red 1 Green floating
- Cast second Manamorphose, trigger Pyromancer Ascension, put 1 counter on it, add 1 Red 1 Green, draw the fourth Manamorphose; 1 Red 1 Green floating
- Cast third Manamorphose, trigger Pyromancer Ascension, put the second counter on it, add 1 Red 1 Green, draw Bala Ged Recovery Flip; 1 Red 1 Green floating
-
Cast fourth Manamorphose, trigger Pyromancer Ascension, resolve Pyromancer Ascension and put a copy on the stack
- First Manamorphose resolves, add 1 Red 1 Green, draw Desperate Ritual
- Second Manamorphose resolves, add 1 Red 1 Green, draw second Desperate Ritual
2 Red 2 Green floating
-
Cast Desperate Ritual, trigger Pyromancer Ascension, resolve Pyromancer Ascension and put a copy on the stack, resolve both 6 Red 2 Green floating
-
Cast Bala Ged Recovery Flip targeting Manamorphose, trigger Pyromancer Ascension, resolve Pyromancer Ascension and put a copy on the stack. The copy will target Desperate Ritual, resolve both spells 4 Red 1 Green Floating
-
Cast Manamorphose, trigger Pyromancer Ascension, resolve Pyromancer Ascension and put a copy on the stack
- The first will add 2 Red and draw the second Bala Ged Recovery Flip
- The second will add 2 Green and draw anything 4 Red 3 Green Floating
-
Cast Desperate Ritual with Splice Onto Arcane with the second Desperate Ritual, trigger Pyromancer Ascension, resolve Pyromancer Ascension and add a copy. Resolve both add 12 Red 12 Red 3 Green Floating
-
Cast second Bala Ged Recovery Flip targeting Desperate Ritual, trigger Pyromancer Ascension, resolve Pyromancer Ascension, make a copy targeting a Bala Ged Recovery Flip, resolve both 9 Red 2 Green Floating
-
Repeat step 12 to add 12 Red mana 19 Red 2 Green Floating
-
Cast Bala Ged Recovery Flip to return Manamorphose and Bala Ged Recovery Flip
17 Red 1 Green Floating
-
Cast Manamorphose, add 4 green draw 2;
15 Red 5 Green Floating
-
Repeat step 13, return Desperate Ritual and a Bala Ged Recovery Flip
At this point, steps 12-17 will loop and lead to an arbitrarily large amount of mana and card draw. With that you can do a bunch of wonky things including:
-
Classic Belcher and shoot
-
Instead of getting back a ritual, return evoked Furys to kill all creatures, Force of Vigors to destroy Leyline of Sanctitys or other annoying things
-
Create an arbitrary large amount of 4/4 Giants from recurring Pact of the Titans and give them all haste through Song-Mad Treachery Flip
-
Lethal amounts of pings through Spikefield Hazard Flip
-
Start making white mana from Manamorphose to create Angel tokens from Emeria's Call Flip and give them haste from Song-Mad Treachery Flip
For the record, I don’t play belcher, but I learned the combo after getting belched so many times haha

Lightning Bolt interferes with the Chalice of the Void game plan. Some 2 Mana removal like maindeck Abrades might be nice though, particularly with the Liquimetal Coating game plan, maybe 2 over some Mind Stone. I think I prefer Desperate Ritual to stay as a 4 of because while worst late game, being able to facilitate a t2 blood moon (or t1 on the draw with gemstones) can be back breaking.
