I noticed there aren't many combos with Pyromancer Ascension, granted there really don't need to be but how about these?

Get the enchantment to full strength and throw out a few seething songs. Use the mana bump to get out Volcanic Awakening and watch the fun. One seething song gets you 5 red mana, with the ascension you get ten. Then you pop out Awakening and destroy two lands. then the Enchantment of doom hits for another two. But if you're really sneaky use some of the left over seething mana to pop a burn spell or two to eradicate some lands.

The first thing that comes to my mind with this card, is Quiet Speculation.


If you have all these in your opening hand, or within the first 3 turns, you can cast Speculation 2nd turn, search for extra copies of the flashbacks to dump in the grave, setting up your Ascension drop with 2 cheap cast spells. After that, you can get into some serious stuff.  Probably not the best set-up, but a viable one.

Also, Ascension would be stupid with the Rite of Flame, Seething Song set-up. Maybe even some Desperate Rituals as well. Multiple Ascension's in play would just be mean. Think I would play something other than land destruct though. LD is kinda.......blah.      ( Sometimes.)

Wow, yeah on second thought.......I think you're on the right track with your original idea. It just occured to me, the implications of this.....



Not only would your mana spells be copied, but your Reiterate would be copied as well, (buyback to use again for 2 more copies), then any 3-5 damage spell like Urza's Rage, Flames of the Blood Hand, etc. 

Stupid.

I know land destruction can be bleh but it works well for anything with storm. I just threw volcanic awakening in there as I put it in my burn deck for a stab at killing lands for a stall tactic.

Add Manamorphose. It's decent enough on it's own (effectively it thins your deck) but gets nuts with an active Ascension (2 free mana and another card)

Also, if you're going with Land Destruction, there's a spell in Ravnica Block (can't remember the name of it though) which Destroys a land AND gives you mana back, which would be good for duplicating.

EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention - the copies you get from the Ascension do NOT count towards your Storm count, as they are not cast (they are just copied and put on the stack)

Similarly, Storm copies do not trigger the Ascension, nor do they trigger their own Storm abilities (as the copies are not cast, just placed on the stack)
