If youre the type of player who likes having an answer for anything, or someone whos patient and willing to build up towards a powerful finisher, give an Orzhov deck a try
Viashino Pyromancer is a Lizard Wizard, the latter creature type that is relevant for decks running Wizard's Lighting that lets you deal three damage to any target for one red mana if you have a Wizard, letting Viashino Pyromancer deal five burn damage when combined with Wizard's Lightning
