recently I saw this card and thought it would be godly in tallowisp, "flaring- flame kin".
I could'nt get it to work until I tested it with glitterfang

I'm still working on the deck it isn't complete but this is what I have so far

creatures
4 tallowisp
4 thief of hope
4 flaring flame kin
3 glitterfang
3 kami of false hope
2 teysa
2 lyzolda the blood witch

spells
4 lightning helix
3 rend flesh
2 taste of mayhem
1 spirit link
3 pillory of the sleepless
1 pacifism
1 fencer's magemark

lands
4 blood crypt
4 godless shrine
4 battlefield forge
3 boros garrison
4 plains
2 mountain
2 swamp

the reason behind flaring flame kin is to add more aggro to the deck to beat decks like magnivoere or heartbeat, and use glitterfang to keep the enchant speed up enough to get rid off aggro creatures

This is a cute deck idea, and an interesting take on the tallowisp engine. The card choices here just aren't very optimal, however. I'd like to see some shoal-action in here, and galvanic arcs might be good too, as their 187 effect somewhat mitigates the fact that casting an enchantment on your own creature is, in general, a terrible idea with no place in constructed play. Still, with all the excellent instant-speed removal in T2 right now, you're going to get 2-for-1'd trying to power up your flaming flare-kin or whatever it's called. Good casual deck though.

I thought of the same thing last night, but quickly realized that you'd be lucky to have your Galvanic Arcs hit against almost any deck in t2. While you're using Flaring Flame-Kin and other auras to enhance him, it's still the same concept - you can't build your deck around walking into 2-for-1s.

I started toying around witht he idea of BWr tallowisp deck round when dissension first released. It was a good deck dindt hve much problems cept for the occasinoal mana screw. The idea of 2 for 1 if u test and ply the deck right wont be much of a problem. You really only search for the arcs towards end of the game when ur crd advantge from tallowisp should allow u to have more cards in hand If you play smart you can avoid 2 for 1 and even if u do get 2 for 1ed u really only lost 1 for 1 cuz the aura u got was a bonus any way heres the list. I never really changed board from regular BW ghostdad but main deck is solid

I see you're playing black in the deck. How about giving Fear a try? IT IS GODLY WITH FLARING FLAME_KIN!! Good deck idea, but I don't think it has a chance in competitive but you can try.
