At the end of each turn you clear everything around the bearer of Flaming Sword + Poisonous Dagger. Combined with Battlemage you become a living torch that sits at your opponents feet and slowly burns them to a crisp.

Flaming Sword in your starting hand should always feel satisfying as it is the enabeling card for the deck combo but also quite strong as a standalone relic (quite too strong honestly)

Since your already killing everything around you automatically you can focus more on defenses through something like Blasted Oak. The only magic damage dealing spell in our arsenal is Blaze, which we dont use for damage anyways. 1 reduced magic damage per tree per spell is huge against magic caster decks.

Might have issues with submerge and burrow.
