Welcome, check out the section of the Primer on Page 1 which focuses on the Punishing Fire version if you haven't already!

You can play Naya with just the 4 Birds. If doing this, make sure you play 3 Equips, and check out :r::r: spells since you'll be able to consistently cast them.

I made Top8 at the the Giga-Bites Legacy Quarterly over the weekend. List:

Creature Spells (21)

Neither of these decks plays removal that 1-for-1's it, so it's effectively card advantage...

You do have access to turn 1 combo interaction with GW or Naya: Crop Rotation, Orim's Chant, Surgical Extraction, Mindbreak Trap, Grafdigger's Cage, Pithing Needle, Leyline of Sanctitiy/of the Void,...

I haven't seen any successful Punishing lists incorporating discard in the SB, but I suspect it hasn't been tested enough. If trying this the Scrubland is definitely necessary, but in that case I...
