Just a couple of minor questions: first, I am not sure if Bogardan Hellkite is the correct choice. I was debating Volcano Hellion because I have Stuffy Doll, but without the doll, it becomes a rather poor removal card. Any ideas? Second, how does the land base look? I am just unsure about what percentage of the deck should be mana sources/lands. Thanks!
