My casual EDH burn deck. Planning on taking this to my kitchen table FNM. My meta is pretty casual, I just wanted to build a fun deck that isn't crazy powerful but can still rack up the damage and help speed up the games. Any feedback would be appreciated.

Strategy: The initial plan is to tax my opponents' life total with cards like Manabarbs, Burning Earth and Immolation Shaman. Getting Torbran out will help Amplify my damage output and make it so I'm taking less damage from my own cards. Creatures like Guttersnipe and Electrostic Field will help increase my damage output from my burn spells. I have a few damage doublers like Angrath's Marauders, Furnace of Rath and Dictate of the Twin Gods to help burst opponents down. They are symmetrical but I like high-risk high reward playstyles.

Potential Changes: I might take out some of the spells that damage my own creatures because I noticed it's probably not a good idea to be killing my own Torbran. I might try to switch out some of the creatures for more instants and sorceries to get more use out of my Guttersnipe-like effects. In my meta, games tend to go long and iI might be able to get away with a few big finishers.

Edits: I've switched out Mana Geyser and Repeated Reverberation for Dismissive Pyromancer and Ogre Battledriver. I felt like I wouldn't be able to get the most use out of Mana Geyser and Repeated Reverberation. By the time I'm able to cast them I'm already out of gas. Edit 2: Took out Volcanic Fallout and Battlestrain. Added Swiftfoot Boots and Lightning Greaves to help protect Torbran. Edit 3: Removed Arcbond. Added Darksteel Plate

Notes: I finally got to test this deck and I love how it played out. It can be very explosive with the damage doublers. I think its power level is fair, there's nothing too OP about it. It definitely relies on Torbran though. I might add some more protection artifacts because Torbran is vital to the strategy. The second game I played him with my playgroup he got removed as soon as I got him on the battlefield and it really slowed down the deck. I might also add some more cards like Act of Treason and I want to try to find some more budget cards that are effective late game. Maybe like something Hellkite Charger to help with lategame situations because my meta tends to start slow and go late.

I built this deck with a small budget in mind and all of the pricier cards in this list were pulled from my collection. If you are trying to copy this build with a budget you can remove Ruby Medallion, Combustible Gearhulk, Koth of the Hammer, Magus of the Moon and Chain Lightning by adding some other cheap burn spells and you should be able to achieve the same goals and save some money while doing so.
