Well, I was tooling with the concept of an advantage deck for the Tempest-only
environment w/out using (gasp!) Blue.  So, I thought "Static Orb".  Hell, it
locks up
everything in sight, and is just asking for a way to abuse it.

So, another card popped into my head: Eladamri's Vineyard.  But with all of
this mana, what could I do?  Well, cast a whole s**tload of creatures, of
course.  But, of course, that is in no way a reliable mana ditch.  So, in come
Rootwallas and a lonely Searing Touch.

Well, I can tell that I'm boring you, so here's the decklist.

---Artifacts
4x Static Orb

---Green Creatures
4x Skyshroud Elf
4x Skyshroud Ranger
4x Seeker of Skybreak <------ Focal part of the strategy
3x Rootwalla
3x Mongrel Pack
2x Dirtcowl Wurm

---Green Enchantments
4x Elamadri's Vineyard

---Green Non-Permanents
3x Overrun

---Red Creatures
3x Fireslinger (Board Control!  Woo-hoo!)

---Red Enchantments
2x Goblin Bombardments

---Red Non-Permanents
1x Searing Touch (I only need one; beleive me on that)

---Land
20x Forest
3x Mogg Hollows

The deck usually wins w/a good ol' fashion delay-beatdown, thanks to the
untapping of the Seekers of Skybreak.  The Touch and Overruns are in case OP
can kill of my Orbs, or I don't draw one.  And finally, the Bombardments give
the extra "oomph" that can be used to kick the crap out of a stubborn
opponent.

Enjoy, my friends.
