Description of deck by its author (quoted):
This deck wants to use Spellbound Dragon, Riddle of Lightning or Erratic Explosion to blow someone up for one million damage off a Gleemax.

The deck contains a lot of tricks for getting this task completed. First of all, you can Enlightened Tutor and put the Gleemax right on top for whichever card you have. Now your attacking Dragon becomes 1,000,003/5. That’s pretty powerful. Then after you beat someone with it, take a look at Soul’s Fire for even more damage. RAR!

You have Soul’s Fire, Erratic Explosion and Riddle of Lightning all rocking some fierce damage. Do you know what really likes these? Djinn Illuminatus. In addition to providing you another body, the Illuminatus also doubles your burn spells plus it doubles Counterspell, Ponder, and Brainstorm.

What happens if you draw a Gleemax? Brainstorm it back to the deck, or hold onto it for your Spellbound Dragon.

Note that after Erratic Explosion resolves, the cards go to the bottom of the library. Riddle of Lightning leaves the revealed card on top. You have to discard Gleemax to the Dragon, so you can use that trick only so many times.

There are ways to make this deck a little more interesting. Sensei’s Divining Top will always give you a chance to sort your deck and set up an Explosion or Riddle. Mirari can add to your ability to duplicate the spells in your deck significantly. I also considered adding some more artifacts for Enlightened Tutor, and then adding Tinker so you can actually use Gleemax. Other forking options may also strike your fancy, from Uyo to a certain Quanar.
