I've noticed a new series of cards with the Onslaught expansion; Erratic Explosion and Kaboom!. I tend to like cards with an element of ramdomness in them. Cards like Psychic Battle, and Impulsive Maneuvers. But Eratic Explosion and Kaboom! are special, because I can actually think of a deck to build around them.
Both these cards are red. To support them, high mana cards are used. Green would be the best colour to combo with these cards. Blue might be also used. I'd use other high damage cards like Searing Flesh, and cards that can cost less, but are good likeAvatar of Might, and mayb Silvos or Kamahl would be good if you have the money. Venomspout Brackus is good against flying creatures and also can be played via morph for less than its mana cost. A good high mana combo is ROTW and Tunnler Wurm. Goretusk Firebeast is also good in this situation. To support all these high mana cards, i'm going to use some higher mana land search (Explosive Vegetation, Skyshroud Claim). Mana producers are impractible because they cost too little. I can't find any low mana enchantment destroyers. To add to the burn, use expensive cards like Lightning Surge.
If using blue as the supporting colour, the most cost you could practically get would be five. Use all the red cards mentioned above, and add cards like Air Elemental. Add expensive draw cards like Ancestral Memories, and Heightened Awareness. I like Psychic Battle, because this deck will have to a tendancy to win the battle. You could use Essence Fracture for bounce. Prophetic Bolt is good because you can arrange your next erratic explosion. However I believe green is a better supporting colour.
So here's the two decks. Adding the cycling lands can help with any card problems. These are fun decks for casual play. They don't have what it takes to suceed in tournaments, but are fun to play. Replace some of the rares with your favourite high mana cards.
