Description of deck by its author (quoted):
This deck would love to drop the powerful Aether Flash as soon as possible. It locks out smaller creatures and prevents a lot of goods from getting played at the table. Hopefully, you have played Fervor on turn 3. Then, next turn you can drop your Deep-Slumber Titan, who untaps after taking the Flash damage. Swing for seven damage. You can also drop your 5/3 Cinder Giant for a big hit, or your 4/4 Ashenmoor Gouger for a nice hit, or even a 3/3 Subterranean Spirit for a nice shot.

The Cinder Giant deals two damage to all of your creatures during your upkeep. That’s normally a disadvantage, but your creatures are big enough to survive an Aether Flash, so they are big enough to survive the Cinder Giant’s heat. It will also untap your Deep-Slumber Titan, who can hit like normal. Every upkeep you have a Cinder Giant in play, your Titan will auto untap.

If you need another way to untap your Titan, drop a Rolling Thunder for a lot of damage, and deal one to the Titan, giving it an untap. Clear out some blockers or hit an opponent for a smackdown, then swing with your newly untapped Titan.

The Subterranean Spirit will never take damage from a Cinder Giant nor the Aether Flash due to its pro Red ability. Do not tap him on your turn if you have a Cinder Giant out, because you will kill the Giant. You can tap him to untap your Titan, so remember that trick. On your opponent’s turn, you can tap him to kill any x/3 ground creatures your opponent played with a Flash out.

You can also supplement the Aether Flash with your Lightning Bolts, killing anything up to an x/5. Browbeat will allow you to draw some cards, and at the multiplayer table, players might be afraid to take the five, seeing the hasty beef you are dropping.

The result is an interesting deck using some old tools along with some new creatures for serious power.
