Berserk Zoo

[Barook]

Due to tests next week, my time is limited, so I'm just dropping the raw list for discussion first since I'm sure there are kinks that need to be ironed out:

// Lands
4 [JGC] Wooded Foothills
4 [JGC] Windswept Heath
4 [ZEN] Arid Mesa
4 [A] Taiga
2 [A] Savannah
3 [A] Plateau

// Creatures
4 [ALA] Wild Nacatl
4 [FUT] Tarmogoyf
4 [ROE] Kiln Fiend
4 [NPH] Immolating Souleater

// Spells
3 [VI] Fireblast
4 [R] Lightning Bolt
4 [LG] Chain Lightning
4 [MM] Invigorate
4 [V09] Berserk
4 [GTC] Boros Charm

In my limited testing, it goldfishes pretty consistently at turn 3. The gameplan is pretty simple:

Play Fiend or Souleater, pump them, then use one of the power doublers (either Charm or Berserk) to create a beater who swings for lethal. Souleater is especially fun since it + any power doubler is pretty much the good old Channel + Fireball combo.

Main problems I'm could imagine so far:
- creature removal/Maze of Ith
- chump blockers (although Berserk kinda helps in that regard)
- lack of disruption to fight combo/control (all you have is speed)

If you're only using Boros Charm for the Double Strike, why not use Assault Strobe?

If you're only using Boros Charm for the Double Strike, why not use Assault Strobe?

Assault Strobe is sorcery, so you won't be able to surprise your opponent with it. Also, Boros Charm dealing 4 damage gives the deck far more reach.

Here's a list I whipped up also:

Creatures - 16

4 Wild Nacatl
4 Tarmogoyf
4 Steppe Lynx
4 Kiln Fiend

Spells - 26

4 Lightning Bolt
3 Fireblast
4 Boros Charm
4 Invigorate
4 Berserk
4 Gitaxian Probe
3 Mutagenic Growth

Lands - 18

4 Taiga
4 Plateau
4 Wooded Foothills
4 Arid Mesa
2 Windswept Heath

Kiln Fiend seems pretty sweet so I wanted to make sure I could abuse it with free-casting spells. Also, Berserk is much better when you have a couple of pump spells too (rather than just Invigorate & the Souleater pump).

Haha, I really like this deck. Not the most competitive, but very fun :)
