Description of deck by its author (quoted):
I love Sedraxis Specter to such an extent that many may find it disconcerting. I want to build an aggressive deck with a good helping of disruption. I'll probably need to play a good deal of lands that come into play tapped so I don't think I can afford to play any creatures that cost one mana.

Two-Drops
Ravenous Rats: A classic. Ravenous Rats may not seem aggressive, but they accomplish our goal of being disruptive and providing a threat. I could see some of these making the cut.
Goblin Deathraiders: A 3-power creature for two mana can be incredibly dangerous. The fact that it's black and can't be Terrored makes it even better. I'm probably going to run a few Sigil of Distinction in the final list, and the trample on these wacky bumpkins makes them an excellent target for the bomb equipment.
Sygg, River Cutthroat: Sygg will probably result in a lot of extra cards when playing a deck like this. He's extremely inexpensive right now and seems like a great choice. Our deck will probably play a lot of burn that Sygg can cantrip through. The synergy between this card and Sedraxis Specter is really absurd. Unearth, hit you for 3, you discard and I draw.

Three-Drops
Sedraxis Specter: Probably the biggest reason I want to build this deck. This card is extremely powerful and has the capability to win a game all by itself if it goes unchecked.
Hypnotic Specter: I recently checked the prices of these and was pleasantly surprised. Having eight cards with this type of effect increases the consistency and potency of the overall strategy.

Removal
Generally speaking, I like my removal to double as reach (that's the ability to deal the last few points of damage). I'm not a big fan of removal spells that can't go to the dome when they need to.
Incinerate: Obviously incredible; a very strong removal spell that doubles as a powerful reach spell. It also triggers our Sygg.
Puncture Blast: Incinerate #5-8. Puncture Blast is also very strong against cards like Kitchen Finks or Chameleon Colossus.
Flame Javelin: This will usually cost four mana to play. However, I'm not going to complain about paying a little bit extra for a burn spell this effective.

Support
Blightning: When I first saw this card I got chills. The power level of Blightning is really absurd. It wins a lot of games by itself, and it fits with the decks goals.
Sigil of Distinction: This card acts as a Fireball. When playing with decks that have a really strong early game I like having cards I can just dump all my mana into.
