I really like this deck and holy crap can it be fast. I'm worried you have too many higher costed creatures though to only be running 20 lands. I would either put in a couple more lands or trade the bigger creatures for more aggressive creatures and try to win the game by turn 4-5.Some creatures I would consider adding:Legion Loyalist - Hasted one drop that combined with other creatures can be a big swing especially playing a token based deck.Shadow Alley Denizen - As you play more cheap creatures each turn you can make them harder to stop with intimidate.Ash Zealot - Efficient 2 drop with bonus graveyard hateEidolon of the Great Revel - Super Annoying card and I know it goes both ways but most likely you'll be far enough ahead when you play it that the opponent's recovery effort is crippled.Tymaret, The Murder King - A pseudo Fling stand in as a consideration when the board gets stalled. This is a less likely inclusion.One or two Fanatics or Merchants would be fine to keep in as a curve topping late game finisher and one copy of Exava may be worth keeping but I would take out Mogis (and put him in Rak-DOS!!) and the extra copies of the high cost creatures. Maybe even swap out the Tormented Hero for a different one drop. This deck is really cool and really fast and can even get faster and is and would be the 2nd fastest deck in our meta. -Bill

I think Bill is right on. This deck is curved like a 24-land deck.I would also suggest focusing more on the deck’s speed and getting smaller. In a fast deck, you want at least 9 cards you can cast on turn 1 (with 9 cards, you should expect to get 1 on average in your opening hand of 7), and at least 9 two-drops you can cast on turn 2 in an empty board. 3 and 4 drops should preferably have immediate impact, or really high damage potential, and I wouldn’t include anything 5 or above, generally speaking.I like Bill’s card suggestions. Direct damage that can target creatures or players like Lightning Strike and Magma Jet could also be good. Scrying 2 with Magma Jet is always good, too. -Mike
So I agree that while Mogis fits the flavor, it is not optimal in the deck, which gains two free cards. Dropping one of each of the Fanatic and Grey Merchant gains another two. Right now I have no way to interact with the opponents board so I like the suggestion of direct damage cards, or possibly a set of dreadbores to fill the four free cards created by dropping the high end creatures. I've had the Denizen in the deck but as a two-of and it never really performed all that well, but having a full set would make the effect more consistent. Legion Loyalist seems sweet, as does the Eidolon. Im not concerned about my life total, just dealing 20 as quickly as possible. To that end, what do you all think about Firedrinker Satyr? Could also replace the Flailers with either Herald of Torment or Master of the Feast.I'm also considering losing the Dark Favors and replacing them with some burn spells.-E
I don't love Firedrinker Satyr. It's like, "Oh, the drawback isn't that bad," until you play with it a bit, and then it's rough. I do love the thought of Herald of Torment/Master of the Feast. Those guys crush. I would also consider cutting the Gray Merchant package for the Fanatic of Mogis playset, since it's less mana and easier to cast with only one red necessary. And the lifegain is less significant than speed.
I’ve never played with the Firedrinker, but I would also be reluctant.I agree that 4 Fanatics and 0 Merchants would be optimal. The 4 mana vs 5 mana cost is big in a deck with low mana.I definitely like Herald of Torment over the Flailer. I have played with Master of the Feast, and like mystery person said about the Firedrinker, the drawback can be worse than you think. However, I played it in a slower deck, so maybe you’d expect to win quickly once you got out the Master and give your opponent fewer free draws. Could work.Eidolon of the Great revel is, well, great. I can tell you from experience, it’s no problem having them in a deck full of other 1-2 drops. All you have to do is save them in your hand until after you cast everything else. In fact, it’s even preferable to get out lots of cheap stuff before. The more the board is tilted in your favor when these hit, the better.Lastly, a couple burn spells never hurt anyone.-Mike
I think Master of the Feast would actually be pretty good here. Your speed would limit the ability for your opponent to capitalize on the extra cards and is such a big beater that it would speed up the opponents clock even more. Eidolon of the Great Revel is a monster the more I think about it. Just crushing fools. Skullcrack would be pretty good inclusion for a burn spell I think. Because it prevents life gain which while not super prevalent in our meta but basically cripples this deck. One other creature I would consider is Pyrewald Shaman. It's high power for two mana is pretty good but also it has a repeatable blood rush absolute which could be useful. -Bill
