Had a good time building this one, not exactly finished yet but wanted to share it. Deck isn't amazing, but it's definitely fun when it works. Sideboard could also use a lot of work as well.
I was really wanting to see if I could make Jaya Ballard work in a deck, and this is what I ended up with. It's mainly there to discard greatwurms and phoenixes, while still drawing cards, but the extra mana can also be useful to cast Rise from the Grave and a few other spells in a turn to reanimate phoenixes. The ultimate probably won't happen too often, but I have won a game off of being able to cast Rise from the Grave and Thud from my graveyard.
Arclight Phoenix is the main way to get your opponent in range of Thud, but sometimes 2 shocks can also be enough. Phoenixes can also just be a win condition on their own.
Idea of the deck is to get Impervious Greatwurm into the graveyard, through Tormenting Voice, Pirate's Pillage, Discovery // Dispersal, or Jaya Ballard and reanimate it with Rise from the Grave. Once it's reanimated, Thud is the main finisher.
