So, my buddy asked my to play in the standard FNM tourney at my LGS tomorrow, and I don't play standard.... So my standard card pool is kinda .poo.. But I built this, what are my odds of doing alright? If something's completely useless, let me know, and if there is an uncommon/common in that is better, than I may have it. (Except for searing blood. I have opened quite a bit of BoG, and can't manage to pull more than the one I have. -.-)

Thanks! I edited it to be kinda like one that I saw! (I don't have any eidolon, or I'd use them)

Try a few fanatic of mogis, such a good uncommon

I want to use it but as of wpet think to much of personal effects,  I run boros burn and I run a lot of low cost spells so thats my problem with eidolon, self harm.

{Burning-Tree Emissary} and {Fanatic of Mogis} have been doing bad things to me on MtGO. Also, if you're wanting to go with a bit of a burn approach, {Chandra's Phoenix} is a tank.

{Mogis warhound} is very aggressive and well costed mat of the time you'll play home turn 3 and will rarely play him turn 2

Burning tree, Chandra's Phoenix, and fanatic were all in my original one. I opted for this because of all the 1 drops. Do you think that fanatic can still find a home here?

No it makes you curve at 4 not 3 which doesn't sound bad but it is

I think for FoM, you'd want BTE and Phoenix/other double red sources. With {Ash Zealot} being the sole {R}{R} source, I'd say probably not. I didn't realize that was essentially your original list! :P

Then I guess the last question is:
Which is better? My current one? Or:
23 {Mountain}
23 Lands

4 {Firefist Striker}
4 {Rakdos Cackler}
3 {Firedrinker Satyr}
4 {Fanatic of Mogis}
4 {Chandra's Phoenix}
4 {Burning-Tree Emissary}
4 {Ash Zealot}
27 Creatures

4 {Lightning Strike}
4 {magma jet}
2 {seismic stomp}
10 Instants/Sorceries

I don't know about the other list, but I know this one has been a tough matchup for my partially-built BUG Walkers on MtGO.  I think the only difference I'm seeing from the ones I've played is that they play {Shock} instead of {Seismic Stomp}.  I think they both look pretty solid.  The only problem I'd have with the other list is that if the game happens to go to turn 5-6, you're pretty much done for, whereas this could still have BTE/FoM as a mid-late game ditch effort.

23 lands is too John cut to 20 at most! Of you go above 20 the extras have to be {Mutavault}
