This is a questionable idea. It mixes land destruction with land disabling (Mana Flare + Floodwater Dam is nice) with some energy and small creature damage, aided by Raid Bombardment. By using the direct damage to manage creatures, I hope to buy the time to gain the needed advantage to cripple my opponent's mana. Once that has happened, I press the advantage and start wearing him down. The connections to past decks in the style of Energetic Creatures and its spiritual successors is evident, though there is more of a focus on land management here, and only 21 creatures. The 12/12/16/2 curve has a higher peak than I care for most of the time, but with what I have at the 1- and 2-spots, I feel pretty good about it, and it only averages 2.25, which is not terrible.
