Some funny ones that deal more damage to your self our Aftershock and Orcish Artillery and Orcish Cannonade

Needs more Thermo-Alchemist and Cinder Pyromancer .

Also, Orcish Cannonade gets you two triggers and draws a card. Aftershock gets you a trigger and is extremely versatile. I like them both a lot more than Crimson Wisps and Panic.

Having Goldfished the deck a few times I'd like to suggest more Rocks. LOTS more rocks. You want to have turns that chain spell into spell into spell with Carah triggers. Carah will take care of the card access, but it's on you to get the mana base to abuse it.

Speaking of getting a mana-base: Scaretiller is a absolute unit of mana acceleration. Carah will impulse-draw you into lands for your land-for-turn drop, and if you end up with lands in your hand: Scartiller will put them into play.

Better plan: Use Carah's impulse draw to get your land-for-turn, use Scaretiller on the Fetch land in your graveyard to fetch every turn, and pitch lands you draw to Flame Jab for extra triggers.

I really like fetchlands in Carah: partly because of Scaretiller, partly because of deck-thinning. I run Terramorphic Expanse, Evolving Wilds, Warped Landscape, and all three Panoramas in my build, and they're all outstanding.

Lastly: vigilance on Carah can get you extra triggers. Bladed Bracers , Accorder's Shield , Cathar's Shield , and True-Faith Censer are all great.

Please let me know how it goes when you play games with her! I'm very interested in hearing about this deck. C:

~ deals three damage to any target and three damage to you.

Easy for a pyromancer. Easy loss of limbs for a necromancer.

So this is somewhere between Lightning Bolt and Orcish Cannonade. But just colourshifting a Shock doesn't seem very black.

Create a tribal crocodile (if you wonder how croc tribal would look like, look at my profile).

Interesting brew. I like these self-destructive decks. Take my +1.

If it weren't modern, Flame Rift would be super-strong. This way, maybe Orcish Cannonade could be an interesting addition. I also like Fatal Frenzy for decks of this kind. It can be a devastating finishing move with both your shadow and fiend.

By the way, as you're considering distortion strike, how about Slip Through Space?
