Deck Description

Well... i really wanted to try the Fire Servant + Splinter Twin + Lava Axe... thats 20 damage ftw :D

Basically, 1 fire servant and its 2x damage... 2 fire servants and the effects STACK so its 2x2 damage.. aka 4x damage... so lava axe is a 5dmg... x4 makes it 20 damage :D

COMBO: play fire servant, pass the turn. next turn enchant it with splinter twin. pass again. next turn, tap fire servant, create a doppleganger and cast lava axe. GG

Blue is for card drawing :p

Tons of card draw to quickly get the cards i want... the Myr there for mana accel... and gomazoa/wall of frost to defend with for a while...
Flame Slash is just there for creature control.

OK, please see my new rendition of this deck... its red green :D

Deck discussion for Play Lava Axe, GG

It doesn't look very fast for a red deck.. you are waiting til around turn 5 before your combo starts to work.
Lightning Bolt > Flame Slash..
There are many other, cheaper spells that can do more damage than just the one lava axe also.
4 Lightning Bolts will do almost 3 times as much damage as Lava Axe, for less mana.. : o
Maybe add some Fireballs? : )

no, because with all the draw im pretty certain i can get a mana myr out.

no lightning bolt is not better in this case since i only want a card that targets creatures. though bolt is instant speed, a flame slash is that tiny bit stronge (forexample, you only need 2 to take out wall of frost compared to 3 bolts)

its not as burn deck really... its control at the start until you can start the combo. Fleeting Distraction is there because it can both weaken target creature AND it draws. which is my main goal with this deck.

not if it isnt burning. this deck is control at the start, burn later on. its made to make your opponent think your just going to be playing a R/U control, but when you plot down that fire axe it is instant win.

I like what you got so far, what about Rift Bolts and pay the suspend to follow up next turn play two of those for the next following turn and copy the Fire Servant that following turn. Another things if you have one Fire Servant and cast Lava Axe that would be 10 damage, so if you played another Fire Servant having two in play I don't know if that would double the amount of 10, it would be five for the Lava Axe, another five for the first Fire Servant, and a following five for the second Fire Servant, so 15 damage, unless my math is off because it has before lol. Also what about tossing in a couple Lotus Blooms, Simian Spirit Guide, Seething Song, or Rite of the Flame for added mana, and instead of Splinter Twin how about some Clones the creature doesn't leave play and can play more for massive damage.
