So at a local qualifier this past weekend me and a teammate were just throwing cards out there since we said the previewed volcanic fallout and we thought of like thoctar .. war monk .. finks .. guys who live through those spells and firespout and i threw a deck together that its probably going to dominate:

Creatures: (15)

4x Wooly Thoctar

4x Rhox War Monk

3x Cloudthresher

4x Kitchen Finks

Spells: (19)

3x Bant Charm

2x Mind Spring

3x Broken Ambitions

2x Remove Soul

3x Firespout

3x Volcanic Fallout

3x Ajani Vengeant

Lands: (26)

3x Vivid Meadow

3x Vivid Grove

2x Vivid Crag

2x Vivid Creek

4x Reflecting Pool

3x Mystic Gate

3x Wooded Bastion

1x Brushland

1x Battlefield Forge

1x Forest

1x Island

1x Plains

1x Mountain

SB: (15)

1x Firespout

1x Volcanic Fallout

1x Cloudthresher

2x Primal Command

3x Glen Elendra Archmage

2x Persuasion

2x Negate

3x Condemn

Things Im debating in the main deck:
Path to Exile?
Glen Elendra Archmage?
Mulldrifter?
Sower of Temptation?
Thornling Even?
Cryptic Command?
More board sweeps?
O-Ring?
Condemn?

Basically, the cycle of 1 of each basic is for the upcoming path to exile, probably a heavily played card. The deck is going to be proxied up and testing starting tomorrow because I really like the concept behind it. How it's indirectly, a toast style deck. Critique plz. Thanks.

uhh yea cryptic command...defiantly

wrath of god is good..

just dont play your dudes still after wrath. just run like a finks out there and try to get them to over commit to the board then play your war monks and thoctars.

The biggest issue with your deck is the glut of 3cc spells. With so many cards vying for the 3 spot, you lack good early plays and rely solely on clunky mid-game drops. You're removal should be cheaper if you want to rely on 3 drop creatures. Possible use some draw like ponder to sort out heavy curve draws. Maybe some early mana acceleration like birds or fertile ground.

You have wayy to many three drops. you should lower that count to at most 12-15 then add ways to get more mana.
