Deck Description

Just recently stumbled upon "Braid of Fire" and couldn't stop trying to build a Deck around it.
This is what i came up with:
The most obvious combination would be Braid of Fire and Earthened Goo. I added fling to be prepared to Sacrefice it if for any reason i dont want to or just can't pay the mana costs for the age counters. Keep in mind that the age counter is added before you will have to sacrifice or pay it... giving you an opportunity to Fling it instead with its final power.
Second, and thats why i added the Leyline and Teferi: All mana created by braids of fire while disappear at the end of your upkeep, so to be able to use all of your creatures i wanted to give them Flash.

If anything goes wrong and you find yourself stuck with no way to spend mana, I included Stonewright to give your creatures the ability to pump up until end of turn, to attack, or at least be Flinged.
Spellbound Dragon might work quite fine, for the Deck definetly has some Cards with high costs.

All in all this deck is just experimental and I'm more than interested in any feedback!

Ps.: Misty Rainforest should be replaced by Scalding Tarn; I just don#t have any of those and, you know.... money is thight!

Deck discussion for Braid of Fire... MANA UP!

I'm still looking for a good way of alternative use for this deck... i mean, if i dont' draw Braids or it get's countered... i probably end up doing nothing... any help from the community would be awesome!

hmm, the combo I use for braid of fire is with helix pinnacle. You may want to consider adding green for additional mana ramp. I personally like the combo of llanowar mentor and groundskeeper. Add some elvish archdruids and the other cards that do the same and you are golden. Another card you might think about adding is spawnsire of ulamog. Its ability is nasty and allows you to save any excess mana from braid of fire.
