IDEAS AND DIFFERENCES?
The idea behind the build is to wait, trick your opponent into damaging you enough then swap life and end with a fireball. Or build up enough control, and string a couple of fireballs and disintegrates at them. Or just a single one. Often times you will have 3-4 red X spells in your hand, and firing them off for a small amount be the difference between winning and losing a game. Leverage Candelabra of Tawnos even without Mana Flare through lands like Maze of Ith, Mishra's Factory, and Library of Alexandria.
And it got zero blue cards.
MEMORIES FROM PLAYING IT?
Forking an Amnesia. Disrupting Sceptering away a Eureka deck's hand over multiple turns.

MATCHUPS?
Most matchups are fine. Beating the deck can be a little tricky. Disruption like Hymn to Tourach can be tough at times.
SIDEBOARD SUGGESTIONS?
Serra Angel is the best card out of the sideboard. Fork, and Disrupting Scepter are great copies as 1 ofs. Potentially Earthquake for another X spell and multiple removal.
