Deck discussion for Win in 3 turns or die

I don't understand Braid of Fire, surely it's going to start being more expensive incredibly quickly?

It doesn't get expensive, since its Cumulative Upkeep actually gives you mana. Basically, you drop this on T2, get {R} on T3, {RR} on T4, {RRR} on T5, etc... It's pretty much a 1 card mana ramp.

Gatherer's Rulings state that: "Braid of Fire is a very unusual card. "Add {R} to your mana pool" is a cost. This enchantment does nothing but add increasing amounts of mana to your mana pool during your upkeep."

However, this card has a major drawback being that you can't use the mana during your Main Phase, unless you're also playing something like Upwelling to prevent your mana pool from emptying itself in between phases.

Gatherer's Rulings state that: "Any of this mana that isn't spent during your upkeep step will be removed before your draw step begins. You cannot save it to be spent on the card you will draw this turn."

This makes this card very weak unless the deck is built around it (Leyline of Anticipation makes it godly...), since its mana can only be used during the upkeep phase, meaning the mana it generates generally can't be used on Creatures, Sorceries or Enchantments without them having Flash...

Oh my God! Duuuuuuuude that's craaazy, I thought you had to pay an extra one mana each turn, but instead you get an extra stacking red mana per turn! Thanks for clearing that up though man! And cool deck

no, you need to nerf the deck. I'd advise a playset of lightning bolt

I suggest book burning. There is really no reason not to since this is legacy. Six damage for 2 mana is crazy.
