Description of deck by Frank Karsten (quoted):
Green has a lot of good complements to Wildfire in Harmonize and mana acceleration. Green also has Carven Caryatid, a creature that replaces itself with a card draw, staves off incoming aggro attacks, and survives Wildfire to be a nuisance to any one drop/two drop creature the opponent could muster post Wildfire. Green also has Spectral Force. There is [no] better card to plop down on the field right before a Wildfire.

The deck can beat the control decks with Detritivore in the sideboard. Dragonstorm is a bad matchup, though. After thinking of Muse Vessel, Jester's Scepter, and Chameleon Blur, the best answer for Dragonstorm has been proven to be Barbed Shocker. This sounds really silly, but it usually hits the board and nukes their hand (including but not limited to combo pieces and countermagic). Two on the field is bad times for Dragonstorm since they're most likely milling for up to 14 cards.
