Blazing Salvo, Breaking Point and Molten Influence get a nice boost.

Blood Oath same set but janky enough to work.

While few and far between, Red dealing with enchantments seem more concerned about punishing the controller/owner than removal. In addition to Dockside Extortionist, this includes Aura Barbs, Blood Oath, Enchanter's Bane and Starfall.

Keqing420: There are actually 13 card types, only 8 of which can appear in the hand. However, for Blood Oath you choose a card type, and deal damage based on how many cards of that type are in the target's hand. If an opponent has an 18 card hand that's all land, you could deal 54 damage (56 with Torbran) to them.

Blood Oath will deal 0, 3, 6, or 9 damage depending on the hand reveal. Once the determination on how much damage from the Blood Oath has occurred, then Torbran's +2 will be added so you will deal 5, 8, or 11 damage from that one source.

Does Torbran, Thane of Red Fell only add +2 damage for the Blood Oath spell, or +2 for each card of the chosen type my opponent is holding?

humblewarrior - Glad I could help! Also, I was browsing your list some more, and wondering: what do you have for blue decks, either traditional spell control or combo?

A lot of the stuff Mardu has to offer focuses on creatures or other permanents, which leads us to issues with stuff like Enter the Infinite + Omniscience . Granted, there's not many ways to interact with that once it happens anyway, especially with Counter backup in their hand. I know I run Boseiju, Who Shelters All to protect my silver bullets, and have Sudden Impact and Blood Oath to give it my best shot, but it's something that the deck does otherwise struggle against.
