My nrlgs (not really local game store) is very affinity and aggro oriented so I felt the {Pyroclasms} were needed mainboard.  And with that affinity and aggro comes low mana cost, so I put inquisition over {thoughtseize} due to that fact. 

[Hunteroffire9]

If that's your meta, {black suns zenith} is not bad. Serum visions is not really a card you want in a control deck, because turn 1 you are either inquisition or playing you shock land from a fetch tapped to save life. I recommend:

Any type of more removal, considering I do not see much mainboard I would also recommend more counter magic for the combo matchup because I currently only see 3 mana leak besides the 2 cryptics I recommend

1 of condescend
Possibly remand
Possibly {spell snare} very good agaisnt affinity to stop cranial plating and arch bound

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

I could see {Spell Snare} being added for Ravenger.  Other than that, I don't see much combo, (Kiki, and Splinter that is) I can always sb in the rest of the counters if I ever run into it.  Thank you for that suggestion.

You really thing serum won't be good.  I always used it to find my Ultimatium and snapcasters faster. Along with anything else crucial.  Anything for digging you suggest over it?

[imthelolrus]

Mana base doesn't have any basics :/ too many shocks also, I'd consider running x1 Urborg as well since they're cheap now

Always 4 snappys and if you have access to them 2 {Vendilion Cliques}

What do you suggest for the basics?  And no I sadly don't have the fourth snappy (granted I don't have the onslaught fetches either but that should be fixed soon).  I was debating the Clique(s) but I was only debating having 1 and dropping a {lavaclaw reaches}.  Thoughts?

You run 1 of each basic(1 mountain,island,swamp) to fetch a color you need when you do not want to take damage

[Silent1236]

I would honestly say just toss the {Lavaclaw Reaches}. Too much mana for so little evasion.

this.

The creeping tar pits are plenty and strictly better I would cut the reaches for basics and 0-1 tarp it's for the final basic or another land

[Progenitasm]

Smother is a good removal

Not to mention something to grab when you get  {Path to Exile}d.

[DrainCleaner]

Gotta play them basix. {Blood Moon} and {Path to Exile} are real.

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

Ok so here are the changes

-1 {Blood Crypt}
-1 {Watery Grave}
-2 {Lavaclaw Reaches}
-1 {Mystical Teachings}

+1 {Vendilion Clique}
+1 {Island}
+1 {Mountain}
+2 {Swamp}

So far the playtesting has gone pretty well.  Haven't run into many problems aside from burn, which hits me pretty hard.  Any suggestions?

[Munchlax]

Wait so is the point of this deck to hard cast a {Cruel Ultimatum}? Cause that seems really really slow

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

Yes that is the point, hard cast, gain the huge advantage, and then win.
