getting stuck with the high cost creatures is the aim. The Grimoire of the dead takes care of that problem. I was thinkin about putting more land in it tho. I have gotten mana screwed one too many times.

I like the trep. blade. it is pretty cool, but it doesn't really go with the deck. It was mostly a filler. Same with the naturalizes.
shock only costs 1 mana http://magiccards.info/m12/en/154.html if you really want to keep the galvanic blasts consider putting in some master thieves. http://magiccards.info/query?q=!Master%20Thief
having a bonus is good for burn spells. if you want a one mana costing burn spell with this use either a lightning bolt or shock. The Galvanic Blast's bonus only occurs if YOU control 3 or more artifacts, not if there are 3 or more artifacts on the board. You have no artifacts in this deck so they make no sense.
The Keldon Megaliths go almost perfect with what I am doin with the deck. I'm thinkin 2-4 of those and i should be good to go. I am probly gonna take out the Ancient hellkite. It doesn't really go too well with the deck.
I'm likin the ensnaring bridge. That will help me out quite a bit in late game.
How many more lands should I add?
The keldon marauders and goblin guide I'm not really a big fan of. chandra's phoenix would be a lot better than the goblin guide for the fact that it is also a 2/2 with haste but also has flying and whenever it is in the graveyard i can put it back in my hand when i deal noncombat damage to a player with a red instant or sorcery. the keldon marauders would be good if they did more than one damage when they come out or leave. they are cheap creatures but this deck is more based on using instants and sorcerys to deal out damage. the fire servants will never leave the deck for the fact that they double the damage of all of my red instants and sorceries. some of the other bigger costing creatures like ancient hellkite and magma phoenix are in the deck mostly cause i wanted to try them out and see how they worked with the deck. the magma phoenix works pretty well but the ancient hellkite will probly end up gettin tossed in a box and swapped out for a different better card.
not a problem. hopefully it works well for you. if you get any ideas on how to make it better share? I will also return the favor.
Go right a head. I started with 4 galvanic blasts, 4 arc trails, 4 lightning bolts, 4 chandra's outrage, 4 shocks, 4 fireballs, 4 lava axes, and 4 fire servants. if you can manage to get out 2 or more fire servants and drop a lava axe the game will be over. this deck has been modified over and over again.
I would prefer if it was tournament legal but i mostly use it to play casually. I am not on any budget.
