Even if this one isn’t actually the bomb certain people want it to be, I don’t see why I couldn’t dream about using it. This could be Grixis as well, but the mana requirements might be a bit too much, although we could probably just use the cycle-duals to splash something. I’m not entirely sure what, though.

Red has plenty of ways to discard and some cards you can use even if discarded. One combo I do love in this deck is [scryfall]Chandra Flamecaller[/scryfall]. Just make four or five drakes every turn. No big deal. Or how about [scryfall]Advanced Stitchwing[/scryfall]? Or maybe splash the [scryfall]Haunted Dead[/scryfall]? So many options.

Let’s go with this list:

[deck]
[creatures]
2 Baral, Chief of Compliance
4 Curator of Mysteries
2 Forgotten Creation
2 Bedlam Reveler
[/creatures]
[spells]
4 Essence Scatter
4 Lightning Axe
4 Fiery Temper
4 Cathartic Reunion
2 Collective Defiance
3 Chandra Flamecaller
4 Drake Haven
1 Nahiri’s Wrath
[/spells]
[lands]
4 Wandering Fumarole
4 Inspiring Vantage
8 Island
8 Mountain
[/lands]
[/deck]

Are the Baral’s too much?
