Deck Description

Use creatures that pump themselves when you cast spells, and cheap spells to give them evasion, to smash your enemies in short order.

How to Play

Drop your creatures, then use distortion strike, artful dodge, or teleportal to pump them and let them get through. Artful Dodge is best used when you can cast it and flashback it on the same turn; you'll be two creatures through at once, both pumped twice (or more if you cast other spells). For the most part, you should only overload Teleportal; an overload should win you the game, while a normal cast is just an overpriced distortion strike w/o rebound. The gobbo will help you afford the overload. Staggershock is used despite not being the most cost effective spell because it will pump your creatures twice (the electromancers will help on the efficiency as well).

The sideboard is meant to deal with decks that prevent you from attacking; gelectrode doesn't need to attack and guttersnipe just needs to exist to deal damage, and fling can get any pumped creature through once.
