It's a devastatingly pure form of aggro. On the bloom titan note, blood moon is a solid hard counter. I'm thinking I'm going to drop pithing needle for it. It also helps with the tron matchup.

That's actually something I started playing around with after I wrote that comment. It could definitely surprise people g2 and g3 who board for hate bears and you basically pull a twin combo on them. Very versatile and hard to be prepared for.
I looked at those options, but the mana base can become a liability due to cards like blood moon and spreading seas. I was trying to design an elegant and effective deck that could be picked up under $100. Spark elemental is a card I would side board out for post board options. Vexing devil without the ETB is within bolt range and susceptible to spot removal, but it's a goyf level threat for one mana, and the punishment ability sets the clock for a fast win. It's win win really, because it's not my only way to win and it's a one drop. This deck's big weakness right now is bloom titan.
It's a rogue deck for sure. Bell ringer won't work without splinter twin though. This deck won't do well in the modern competitive meta because of how prevalent splinter twin is. Torpor orb wrecks this deck hard.
