Deck Description

Just Shoot the Maniac while the Furnace is out. With anything. 2x dmg on the maniac 4x dmg on the opponent. Sideboard is for: Combos and Chill (Jesters), Protection from Red (Masticore) Artifacts and anything else that plays mostly non-basic lands. Might have a problem with weenies playtesting for the time being and fixing as it goes.

This is after some playtesting against a friend who plays with an isochron scepter orims chant lock. Realised the following:
- Needed more 5 dmg spells for the insta kill (added Grenade / Shrapnels)
- Needed for the combo to come out early (added Gamble for Furnace mostly / Wooded Foothills for deck thinning / Pyrite Spellbomb for extra drawing as well as Shrapnel)

It came out great after I fixed these couple of things managed to win a few times with the new deck (lost way too many times without the changes) until.....he got Chill out....really no idea how to deal with this for the time being. Trying to fix up sideboard with blood moon, just added Jester cap but haven't tested it yet as well as echoing ruin. Problem is Chill goes down round 2!!! Aaaaaaand i'm screwed.....he can easily get the lock and counter me so much easier with chill out. Any suggestions?

Latest Update: decided to splash some white for tutoring Furnace. Gamble was too risky and Howling mine that i also tried gave an advantage to the opponent as well. Was thinking of maybe adding Resurections for reviving the Maniac. Rite of flame is enough mana acceleration and got disenchant on sideboard for Chill. Consistently getting the combo out from 4th to 6th turn. Will have to playtest :). Any thoughts?
