strategy

The main strategy is all about using Burst Lightning, Shock, and Lightning Strike for versatile damage dealing, and Witchstalker Frenzy to deal with creatures that are too much for the other spells, or hitting your own Screaming Nemesis, transferring the damage to your opponent to shut off life-gain and/or close-out the game. creating growing threats such as Emberheart Challenger and Heartfire Hero whose abilities activate during combat from Manifold Mouse, Rockface Village, or from Monstrous Rage. In the event that Hired Claw is in your hand you can use him first since he grows bigger every turn, creating a huge threat until it is dealt with. This lets you hold off on playing other creatures, forcing your opponent to deal with it alone and letting you have other creatures in hand once they do. Monastery Swiftspear is a haste creature that grows temporarily from your spells, this one feels less significant but is a good card on its own. The late game threat is Screaming Nemesis. This creature has haste and can hit your opponent if blocked, shutting of their life-gain, or take out another creature.

sideboard

• Abrade and Dreadmaw's Ire to help deal with artifact shenanigans
• Ghost Vacuum eliminates graveyard threats from opponents
• Obliterating Bolt for when opponents is playing more 4 toughness creatures
• Sunspine Lynx helps close out games with high amounts of non-basic lands

update

Added 2 Tersa Lightshatter to side-board

Removed 2 Obliterating Bolt from side-board

Remove 1 Shock from main-board

add 1 Monstrous Rage to main-board

This should solve my consistency problem. Monstrous Rage is way to important and I can phase out Shocks since Burst Lightning is a thing
