Deck Description

The goal of the deck is to put your opponent on no available lands while you still have a beater available, either with Frost Titan or Faerie Conclave. The deck ramps to 6 mana, then is able to Wildfire the opponents lands and creatures. A resolved Frost Titan on turn 4 and a Wildfire turn 5 has always won me the game, and it is fairly consistent.

The deck acts as a control deck until it is able to "combo" off. Firespout and Electrolyze are in the deck to clear early creatures by your opponent. Mana Leak and Cryptic Command keep combo decks at bay early until you can Wildfire their lands.

How to Play

Against a creatures based deck, you will want to use your removal against early threats. Your opponent will most likely never be able to use their bigger creatures if you draw Wildfire of Frost Titan. As long as you can hold their creatures at bay until you hit Wildfire (which in the current format pretty much kills everything, but not your Titan), you will win the game.

As for sideboarding for creature decks, against Affinity board in 4 Ancient Grudge and side out 4 Annex. Against pretty much everything else, Spreading Seas is generally worth it (if they don't run blue) because it screws their colors up and gives you another card to hit removal.

The toughest creature matchup for this deck is propably Merfolk, because if they get set up, Wildfire won't kill their creatures. Also, the counterspells that they run will most likely give you a hard time. Just try to time your spells correctly and wear them down.

Against control, the deck is much weaker then against creature based decks. The first game is usually a little difficult because of the dead creature removal cards in the deck. Once you move to sideboard, take out the 3 Firespout and 4 Electrolyze for 3 Mindbreak Trap (against Storm and Egg its amazing, against everything else at least its a counterspell for 4) and 4 Spell Pierce.

Tron is your easiest matchup. Annex eats this deck alive, as well as Spreading Seas from the sideboard. You can just take your time and watch your opponent struggle to hit their 3 lands needed (which they shouldn't).
