Deck discussion for Channel/Fireball

I wouldn't run anything with cascade if you want to win via Fireball / Banefire, since it makes for a really bad cascade. Looks too slow to do what you'll want to do fast enough. Channel-Ball was big because back in the day, before there was a minimum number of cards, you could run Channel, Fireball, Black Lotus, some Moxin, and some land and just combo off and win turn 1 every time. Even when there was a minimum deck size, it randomly won games, which is why Channel got banned / restricted.

Maybe move a copy of Banefire into the SB and run 4 Burning Wish? Same thing with a Channel. Rather than splash Black just to tutor up your pieces, why not just "Wish" for it? both your pieces are Wish-able, might as well is it to your advantage.

Don't forget to put a Channel in your SB. Really, all you deck seems to need in it's SB is just 1 Banefire and 1 Channel.

There's got to be a way to use Living Wish to also help you...may to grab Riftsweepers so you can shuffle Wishes back into your deck? Then with some Harmonize, you could draw your Wishes fairly reliably, and stop yourself from drawing too many extra combo pieces (and you could make the deck Vintage legal: ie, only 1 copy of Channel in the deck).
