wallisface I agree regarding Fury, it can be a bit hairy. We do run 3x Dromoka's Commands (the fight mechanic ignores double strike) and chump-blocking a non-flyer isn't generally a challenge for this deck, so on the whole I usually prefer the ETB-less Fury. Tossing a red spell to get it out is a major downside for the opponent, and if we're trading hits then we only need to get a couple +1/+1's onto our Hushbringer before we're breaking even with it. But I do agree there's a potential risk depending on board state.

What I've found is that, whenever Hushbringer is weak, Archon of Emeria is strong. So much so that I'm thinking of replacing the one-off Kozilek, Butcher of Truth in the sideboard with a fourth Archon of Emeria (I don't really think this deck needs the Kozilek anyways).

For example, against Crashing Footfalls, Archon of Emeria completely hoses all cascade effects since they can't cast their "free" spell, which includes 4xShardless Agents and 4xViolent Outbursts, and means that when Crashing Footfalls finally casts off suspend they also can't do anything else that turn but sit on their hands. And without Fury's ETB, it's very hard for them to remove the Archon of Emeria.

It also hoses Murktide as mentioned before, I think that's pretty common knowledge.

For Underworld Breach it hoses Ledger Shredder, Underworld Breach (since escape counts as a cast, they can't use it), Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer's dash is pretty well hosed since it counts as a cast, Expressive Iteration while not totally hosed is definitely hampered, Mishra's Bauble becomes pretty much a dead draw. Only Teferi, Time Raveler really helps the deck but imo it's not enough.

Domain Zoo is one of my tougher match-ups. We do run 3xBoseiju, Who Endures to destroy the triomes, and we have a lot of vigilance which is helpful against aggro. Still I'd probably swap in our Runed Halos in that matchup, in addition to our Hopeful Initiates and Burrenton Forge-Tenders.

Anyways I appreciate the constructive criticisms. Hopefully with time I'll get the list tightened up more.

I like this build. Very focused and knows exactly what it wants to do. A suggestion, a minor one: I see Burrenton Forge-Tender in your sideboard. I’d replace it with Children of Korlis . It lacks the Protection from Red, but the upside gains you something the Forge-Tender can’t give you—and it isn’t limited to a single color either.

I had a multiplayer burn deck I built for a friend a long time ago. This reminds me a lot of that deck but mine was Boros instead of Mardu. I like it more with the third color. Great choice. Some cards to consider are Mizzium Mortars One sided boardwipes are never bad, Fire Covenant for the same reason, Repercussion dealing damage to your opponents creatures now hurts them twice as much. It is a double edged sword mechanic but that is what makes it fun. Burrenton Forge-Tender If used in tandem with Repercussion then you can stack the triggers in a way that deals all the damage to your opponents then when the triggers to deal you damage are the only ones left on the stack sacrifice it to prevent all the damage to you (if any opponents are left alive by this point.) Another option for preventing damage is also Personal Sanctuary.

Cavern of Souls: cannot pay for bolt or grenade. you really need 100% of your lands to tap for red mana or the consistency of the deck is hit hard. not being able to be hit by counter magic isn’t that much of an upside because if the opponent is playing counter magic the matchup is likely already good fo us.

Goblin Chieftain: chieftain costs 3 mana for one card that is super susceptible to removal. the whole premise of the deck is “no lords 8 whack” which means you will always be pumping out damage and not give the opponent one target that can ruin you (the one exception being Goblin Piledriver but it has such a huge upside with way less investment and if it’s removed it’s not the end of the world). if you take Reckless Bushwhacker out of the deck it falls apart. unfortunately that one card choice is not personal preference it’s just too core to the deck. some people do still decide to run chieftain but you cannot take out reckless bushwhacker for it.

Reality Hemorrhage: is in the sideboard for decks that run Kor Firewalker, Burrenton Forge-Tender, and Auriok Champion. because it has devoid it is not red and can kill these creatures.

Shared Animosity: is definitely worth testing 3 mana might be a bit much but the potential of the card is high.

Mogg War Marshal: saying war marshal is 10000x better than Krenkos Comand and Dragon Fodder would be an understatement. you can sac him to grenade without going down a goblin. you can sac him to Skirk Prospector for extra mana he gives Foundry Street Denizen 3 power of the course of the game. It itself is a goblin so you can play it off the top of the library with snoop. It does many other things but these are just a few that spring to mind. you almost never pay the echo and you can just give the summoning sick goblin haste with your bushwhackers.

Here are some options depending on what you're seeing:

4x Rest in Peace or Leyline of the Void - probably can add all 4 copies blind if you plan on playing on MTGO or anything soon.

1-2 Damping Sphere - for Tron

1-2 Burrenton Forge-Tender or Kambal, Consul of Allocation for Burn

1-2 Abrade or Angrath's Rampage for enemy Grafdigger's Cage.

I'm not sure what it's specifically for - seems to be a value card vs. the GY decks running around, but I see a lot of folks fitting in 2 Kaya's Guile which also fits your plan nicely.

2 Anger of the Gods for zoo, Lurrus, and RDW decks.

2 Collective Brutality as a versatile in vs. Burn and control.

Thank you so much for making this. I recommend replacing Soltari Priest for Burrenton Forge-Tender.
