Notes
 
Ideas:
- Peek
- Incorporating more discard (Duress)
      - Brain Bite
      - Distress
- Sideboard (?) Notion Thief
- Wydwen, Biting Gale wincon?
- Sideboard - Nihil Spellbomb, or maybe 1x main?  Rakdos Charm a consideration.  I want another gy hate card main I think.
- Definitely want to (at minimum) sideboard 1x Slaughter Games
- Thoughtflare, Steam Augury, and Forbidden Alchemy as card advantage spells
- Staggershock for an instant speed Forked Bolt-esque effect (cast on end step)
- Sideboard Witchbane Orb ??
- Extirpate as a 1 of - main or side?
- Value of 1x Jace Beleren, 1x Chandra Nalaar


Cards I like:
- Slaughter Pact
- Forked Bolt
- Suffer the Past
- Echoing Truth
- Electrolyze
- Volcanic Fallout
- Sudden Death


Not sure about:
- Tribute to Hunger
- Counterflux (the count specifically, other options?)
- Think Twice (feels low impact, I feel like I want an instant card draw/card advantage card I can Teachings for for slower matchups)
- Terminate (but probably good enough that it doesn't make sense to take out)
- Burst Lightning (yes it's good, but would Forked Bolt be better, or even try Red Sun again)
