Design philosophy: Sling free (0) or cheap (1) sorceries and instants.
Try to maximize the amount of them, but at the same time only playing the best
of them. Best meaning: Either they're free (phyrexian mana, gush) or deal for 1
mana at least 3 or more damage.
Build creature base to support this "slinging" (Delve, Prowess, Kiln Fiends), otherwise
populate creature curve on 1 with 2/1s.
Hand is emptied in best scenarios on 3rd(?) turn, when one of the draw 7s can be
played. If not sustainable, replace draw7s with spot draw/filtering
(Ancestral Vision, Brainstorm...)

100 cards.

Mana (27):
9 Mountain
1 Chrome Mox
+1 Great Furnace
1 Wooded Foothills
+1 Mishra's Factory
1 Bloodstained Mire
1 Flooded Strand
1 Polluted Delta
1 Misty Rainforest
1 Arid Mesa
1 Scalding Tarn
1 Volcanic Island
1 Steam Vents
1 Wasteland
?1 Barbarian Ring (Do I have mana for this?)
?1 Mountain Valley (fixes mana efficiently, but eats tempo. Test first if just
mountains can be used instead of these)
?1 Rocky Tar Pit
?1 Bad River
?1 Flood Plain

Zero CC 14:
1 Street Wraith
1 Gitaxian Probe
+1 Manamorphose
+1 Mutagenic Growth
+1 Mishra's Bauble (but not instant or sorcery, so cut?)
+1 Urza's Bauble
+1 Burning-Tree Emissary (free creature, but screws up mana with its green mana)
+1 Mental Misstep
?1 Daze (Reactive, can't empty from hand whenever want, but is a surprise and
maximizes mana)
+1 Gut Shot
+1 Mutagenic Growth
+1 Apostle's Blessing
?1 Lotus Petal (not instant or sorcery, so cut?)
?1 Rite of Flame (still dubious, as drawn cards should freely cycle, or deal
damage. But since an instant, test).
