Avacyn's Judgment is primarily there for removal with the option of throwing it at your opponent's face. Conflagrate and Fiery Temper (playsets of each) make up the real burn in the deck. Conflagrate's flashback can also be used to trigger more madness. Your ground forces are as follows:

The sideboard has some fairly good answers to deck out there. Rampaging Ferocidon and Skullcrack to prevent players with lifelink strategies from outpacing you...Vandalblast for artifact heavy opponents, Harsh Mentor for trigger happy opponents and Insult/Injury to outpace other burn decks.





Many deckbuilders have taken on the challenge of making Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded a productive member of society. In several forums, the use of the MADNESS mechanic has been flagged as a possible outlet for his random discard +1 ability. I think by combining Madness with Embalm, Eternalize, and Flashback, you can take Tibalt to the next level. This is my effort to bring that deck into the conversation. After much playtesting and self-sacrificing (of cards I wanted to play before Tibalt made me randomly discard them), I present Mad Men...a modern deck that features our wayward planeswalker.The key to becoming Tibalt's friend is to embrace his random discard function. With Madness and other discard friendly mechanics or abilities, we can do this. Here's the instant and sorcery cards that provide the burn:These creatures use a combination of Eternalize, Madness, and Embalm to make their way to the battlefield. Insolent Neonate can enable a discard if your Tibalt hasn't made it to the field yet. Also, we can use Faithless Looting to quickly get a Madness trigger with the upside of card draw.The land base is relatively simple. You can either play 24 mountains or fancy it up with Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle or any other burn lands like Sunscorched Desert or Ramunap Ruins.The complete decklist is here.Creatures (17)Insolent Neonate x3Earthshaker Khenra x4Bloodmad Vampire x4Incorrigible Youths x4Heart-Piercer Manticore x2Instant/Sorcery (16)Faithless Looting x4Avacyn's Judgment x4Conflagrate x4 (changed from Guerrilla Tactics-recommended by SladeWilsonFisk)Fiery Temper x4PlaneswalkerTibalt, the Fiend-Booded x3Land (24)Mountain x 20Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle x4SideboardHarsh Mentor x2Vandalblast x4Skullcrack x4Rampaging Ferocidon x4Insult/Injury x1Some notes: I think you could replace Avacyn's Judgement with Lightning Bolt....always a good card.
