Description of deck by its author (quoted):
Mirrodin decks are great, and there’s still plenty of room to
explore. But there are other sets out there, and while being buried by
the avalanche of Dross Scorpions and Disciples of the Vault, a recent
throwback can be a nice change of pace. Andrew Peterson noticed the
Eighth Edition combo of Natural Affinity and Pyroclasm and built a deck
around it. He included Terravore and the new Lightning Coils to take
advantage of the jury-rigged Armageddon, and he had Starstorm as a
Pyroclasm backup. Andrew also included Birds of Paradise, Diligent
Farmhand, Harrow, and Rampant Growth as mana acceleration. I changed
that portion of the deck: I felt the Birds are too vulnerable to the
mass burn, and although having more lands in play lets you get the most
out of your ’Geddon, I’d rather have mana sources that live through the
burn. I also found another way to capitalize on your manland
destruction: Caller of the Claw. If you have 5GGR and the three
requisite cards, you can destroy all lands (remembering to float three
mana), then put more than half a dozen 2/2 creatures into play. For
6GGRR, you can sub in Starstorm and do it as an instant.
