As an absolute "noob", I am very enthusiastic about learning more and growing my skills as a player. I do have a request for the community- to critique my deck and tell me what all I can do with it. Here are the cards I have-
- 1x Highland Lake
- 13x Mountain
-10x Island
-3x Fevered Visions
-2x Stormchaser Mage
-Jori En, Ruin Diver
- Disciple of the Ring
-4x Anticipate
-4x Exquisite Firecraft
-4x Boulder Salvo
-4x Pyre Hounds
-2x Stormchaser Mage
-2x Firey Impulse
-2x Elusive Spellfist
-Flameblade Angel
-Tyrant of Valakut
-4x Niblis of Dusk
-2x Sanguinary Mage
Let me know what you guys think of my deck, or if there are any recommendations you have, let me know.
Replacements: Lightning Axe
Lightning Axe is a great repacement for Boulder Salvo, because; 1: It feeds your Diciple of the Ring; 2: More damage, less mana; 3: It can enable madness on other cards you may add, such as Fiery Temper
Remove: Flameblade Angel: It dies really easily.
Add: Another copy of Jori En, Ruin Diver
Remove: Ellusive Spellfist (ALL)
Reason: It will be rotating out soon, when Kaladesh comes out.
Add: 2 More Sanguinary Mage
OPTIONAL:
Remove a Fevered Visions, to even out your number of cards to 60.
THOUGHTS:
No offence,
but
Obviously this isn't going to compete against top tier decks, but just friendly matches with friends, this deck would dominate. This deck is really good for you being new to magic. This deck looks like a pain to play against, with all the removal there is.
I like this deck alot, but splashing white would allow you to use cards like Stasis Snare and Celestial Flare.
Good deck.

It is a cool deck. In addition to the suggestions above I would drop 2 Pyre Hound and add 2 more Stormchaser Mage. Number one, because it's a beast, and two, it well bring your curve down a tad (which is pretty darn good I might add). You don't want to see too many expensive guys in your opening hand as this seems like an aggressive deck with some strong late game deal sealers. Oops, just noticed you had Stormchaser listed twice as a two of. At any rate, 4 of for sure. Also you could switch out your one Highland Lake for a Wandering Fumarole. Might not be entirely relevant most games but if a land is going to come into play tapped, may as well have a chance for some impact.
First, thank you so much for the info. The Disciple of the Ring card doesn't say anything about Lightning Axe, or vice versa. And to clarify, does my deck have more than 60 cards? I saw you mentioned something about removing a Fevered Visions to bring my deck down.
On a side note, it looks like I have some rare cards in my deck! Below are my uncommon or above cards, ranked by rarity-
1. Disciple of the Ring
2. Fevered Visions
3. Jori En, Ruin Diver
4. Exquisite Firecraft
5. Flameblade Angel

1: By discarding cards with Lightning Axe (Mainly noncreature spells), It feeds the ability for Disciple of the Ring, and then that thing just becomes super annoying. (Trust me, If you play it right, it can annoy the absolute *Kitchen Finks outta someone)
2:Yes, From what I can tell after my count, you have 63 Cards in your deck; It's not a bad thing to have more than 60, but the more you have means the less consistent you will draw your cards;
Math: 60/4 = 1/15 chance to draw cards that you run as a **playset
Tips for future deckbuilding:
Legend rule: There cannot be more than 1 of a legendary permanent, so if you play a second Jori En while you already control one, you will have to sacrifice one; So don't play very many: run 2 or 3
Synergy: Lightning Axe + Fiery Temper = 8 Damage for 2 red, 2 prowess triggers, and Disciple of the Ring has more ammo for its ability
*PROFANE
**A playset is 4 cards, the max you can carry in a deck (Excludes cards that say you can carry more than 4)

To reiterate what the previous poster said. By discarding an instant or sorcery card to pay for Lightning Axe, you have provided your Disciple of the Ring with two activations as two cards are now in your graveyard. One good thing about Lightning Axe is you can just pay 6 for it if you draw it late in the game when you are short on cards to discard to it.
The 60 card deck buildiing standard is what you want to shoot for and it's a habit you should develop early. It is more applicable to competitive environments. In a handful of games, a 60, 61, 62, or 63 card deck won't make a noticable difference at all but when you really need to draw a specific card, it doesn't help to have more cards in your stack, decreasing the odds.
I gotta say that kinda killed that thread; nonetheless, can we have an update on the deck? I kinda wanna make this deck and play it (So I can put some input in on it.

Alright, time to talk about the deck.
Off the bat: I assume this is standard, correct? All cards are legal if so, good.
ALSO: THESE ARE RECCOMENDATIONS; YOU DONT HAVE TO MAKE THESE CHANGES, SO TEST!
