Looks like fun.
So you use {spitemare} and {boros reckoner} to get damage to your opponent, while giving lifelink to them to offset the damage from {volcanic hellion}?
Seems legit. Have fun with this thing, I'm gonna be stuck with this idea for a while.

Yeah it's a really fun deck! I use {Nearhearth Pilgrim} to give {Volcano Hellion} lifelink as it enters the battlefield and then deal the damage to Reckoner or {Spitemare} for an infinite life/ damage combo.
Tokens are in for damage and chumps and for {Chain Reaction} and {Blasphemous Act}.

Ah, yes, of course. Pick any amount of damage. Your life total won't change, so you just say 300 or something. GG

Okay that is ultra cool and I'm revamping my {Boros Reckoner} deck. +1 for an epic deck.

Thanks man! I've contemplated adding {Path To Exile} and {Boros Charm}, but I like how it runs now. The only problem I have on MTGO with this is that a majority of the games I either have no land or get flooded. Do you think I should balance out the land base, or is 22 a decent number?

I'd probably run this at 23-24 lands. Then again I like running a couple extra as i get screwed often and usually try to implement a mana sink. Better too much land than not enough cause at least you can cast something. If 22 isn't working out try 23.
