Red Green Haste

I was thinking of changing the deck to this. What do you guys think?

-I am having a hard time keeping the Cunning Sparkmage combo maindeck. It's won me games, but I want to focus more on the Bloodbraid-Vengevine synergy and big damage turns.
-In this build, the only non-creature spell Bloodbraid can cascade into is Lightning Bolt, so chances increase that Vengevine will be brought back, and that you'll cascade into either Hell's Thunder or Ball Lightning, which are insane cascades.
-I think BoP is going to be necessary since I'm increasing the overall mana cost of the deck. It still brings Vengevine back if you happen to cascade into it (definitely the worst cascade that can happen), or if you are already set for mana and top deck it, you can play a hasty creature and then BoP for one extra mana to return Vengevine.
-Chandra and Master are the real experiments of the deck. They both avoid Bloodbraid cascades, and operate as the decks removal or additional win con. Chandra is Baneslayer killer, because otherwise I lose to her. Master is the Firewalker killer, and a built in win con.
-I've increased the land count. Is that a mistake? I got mana screwed in some crucial third games at Nationals, and want to avoid mulling at all costs. Unfortunately, having hands with five lands is bad too and running 26 lands increases this risk.

I like it. I definitely like the more consistent cascades. Have you gotten a chance to play test it yet?

I can see losing the sparkmage combo gaining a little more consistency. Your not trying to control everything...just pound the piss out of them.

No, I haven't playtested it yet. The only real threat I see with it right now is mana clump. I'm hoping that the unearth guys can bypass that.

Check this list out Inez. Always triggers Vengevine off all cascades.

That's cool. Pretty small removal suit though...just Sarkhans and Cunning Sparkmage in main deck?

I guess Master's and Collars in sideboard if you need em.

I thought this deck was pretty cool too...I think it would be kinda hard to add vengevines to it cause of the GG in the casting cost, but maybe you could use it for ideas.
