Blightning

Sorcery

Blightning deals 3 damage to target player or planeswalker. That player or that planeswalker’s controller discards two cards.

Does Crypt Rats not die to the initial 1 damage trigger? And yeah i actually had a full playset of Blightning in the original paper list but over time it just felt like it got edged out by other options, mainly i felt like the damage it provides wasnt very relevant as we arent typically pressuring the opponents life total. Also lol honestly idk why Evolving Wilds is still in the list ig im lazy w landbases XD but yeah it might be good as one of the capenna search lands for a little extra hp buffer vs aggro or burn

What is fun with Eternal Thirst is when you spend the mana one at a time. "Death by 1000 paper cuts" And the Crypt Rats grows bigger and bigger :D Now that i wiped the board, I will attack you with my 8/8...lifelink.

If you want more flexibility in mana, I suggest replacing the Evolving Wilds with Bloodfell Caves

Finally, have you considered Blightning? It's just a good card in general.

Burn generally wants to deal 20 damage as fast as possible. In that vein, cards like Dark Confidant are generally quite bad choices - as well as spending 2 mana that does no damage towards you opponent, it takes 2 full turns/triggers to actually give you any card advantage (the first draw is just replacing itself). Burn generally wants the game to be over by turn 4. It's too slow.

I would also suggest that Ensnaring Bridge is a bad option (burn decks don't want games to go long and drawing this probably buys the opponent at least 1 extra turn to stabilize and turn the game against you. 3 mana is also a LOT for a burn deck).

I'm not sure what your budget is, but the typical optimal burn deck just runs playsets of Monastery Swiftspear, Eidolon of the Great Revel, and Goblin Guide as their creature-base. In any case, 12 creatures seems to be the correct number.

I would also suggest ditching Blightning in place of a spell that costs 1-2 mana instead. 3 mana is a LOT for a burn deck, which often doesn't actually want the game to go long enough to draw that 3rd land.

Thunder Helix

Tap target creature. Untap another target creature.

Draw a card.


See what this card is to Lightning Helix, then create something that relates similarly to Blightning.

Really cool deck, doesn’t look like there’s much room but I feel like Blightning and Fury really fit here

Blade of the Oni, Dream Devourer, Gibbering Fiend, Rakdos Firewheeler, Rakdos Headliner, Spear Spewer, Thermo-Alchemist, Witty Roastmaster, and Kardur's Vicious Return are not very good imo.

Scourge of the Skyclaves is just an expensive combo with Wound Reflection. Havoc Festival is slightly cheaper and better in most situations, especially in chaos.

Syphon Mind is better than Blightning. Banefire is better than Demonfire. Malakir Rebirth  Flip is better than Demonic Gifts. Curtains' Call is better than Murder. Baleful Mastery is better than Doom Blade.

Metroid_Hybrid on Need help rebuilding an old …

1 year ago

Several years ago I put together a strictly Rakdos-themed Aggro deck built around Fists of the Demigod, Psychotic Fury, Ashenmoor Liege, and having a "transformative" sideboard. Many users on T/O at the time seemed to like it as much as I did. But unfortunately, one day I accidentally left it at an LGS shortly before it permanently closed, and was never able to get it back...

Now half a decade later, I'm looking to rebuild. However, over the past 5 years many new creatures have been printed that have rendered my old list, quite frankly, obsolete..

I'm probably going to keep all of the non-creature spells (except maybe Madcap Skills), but I'm likely to replace all of the creatures except the playsets of Rakdos Cackler & Spike Jester, and the singles of Exava, Rakdos Blood Witch and (of course) Ashenmoor Liege.

With so many new options, compounded by the fact that I haven't played any Modern in years, I find it difficult to settle on a particular direction...

Please advise...

(As far as the sideboard is concerned, I'm probably going to replace Blightning with Sovereign's Bite)

wallisface after replacing Blightning my only fear is there is not enough spells for Bloodthirsty Adversary otherwise i do feel like Mayhem Devil pairs well with the two blood generators and Gatekeeper of Malakir. Do you think i need more sources to generate blood tokens? i also removed Vampires' Vengeance for some Lightning Bolt
