Notes:
- Lightning Helix used to be an expensive removal spell, but with its reprint at uncommon in Modern Masters it has become much less budget breaking, it's a great spell and I highly recommend picking up a playset.
- This deck really rolls over to hand disruption, but there isn't much you can do about that other than running heavy card draw, and this means heavy blue.  Which, in turn, means a slower deck that dies before it can combo off.
- Volcano Hellion proved to be very versatile, comboing in many ways and even serving as a four mana Vendetta in emergencies.  All in all I quite enjoyed brewing this deck, I think with some more tweaking this could be competitive in a daily event.  Nobody expects it, thats for sure!

I hope you enjoyed this episode of the Bargain Basement Brewery! Feel free to leave a comment in the comments section below, and if you want to submit a combo or decklist you want me to try, well, that'd be okay too!
