Cursed Scroll

Artifact

, : Name a card. Reveal a card at random from your hand. If it's the named card, Cursed Scroll deals 2 damage to target creature or player.

SufferFromEDHD on All Roads Lead To Hellbent

Ever piloted Lyzolda before? I think her ideal competitive direction would be tokens for endless fodder. I wanted to highlight Hellbent since she was the legend from Dissension.

Lion's Eye Diamond + Rakdos Pit Dragon a simple synergy I have never utilized before.

Rakdos Augermage ever played with this jank? Was a first for me. I think this has potential in EDH. Treat it like Cursed Scroll and use it when you have 1 card. Don't give your opponents a choice (madness, flashback, reanimator, etc) mana cost is funky but first strike is nice.

Null Brooch is the MVP, of course.

I like your build. We both took the traditional shell and made our tweaks in different directions. I added white for Lightning Helix and the sideboard support cards to deal with enchantments.

When I first say Bedlam Reveler I said WTF?! But then I thought about it and it is a clever card choice for the strategy. Will always cost 2, prowess is synergistic and it refills the empty hand efficiently.

Cursed Scroll I think is worth a main deck spot. Two copies. This is the most aggro of aggro decks. Your hand is usually empty by turn 2. This card gives the top deck draw go strategy 2 consistent COLORLESS damage a turn.

How is Light Up the Stage working out for you?

Bomat Courier awesome EDH card. Not sure about it's application in this strategy.

Light Up the Stage blatantly powerful but the listt has become focused and cluttered.

Vexing Devil genius. The list is heavy on artifacts but at its core it is a 1 mana 4 damage deck. I will find room for a playset.

Grim Lavamancer where to begin. Love this card. It's the creature version of Cursed Scroll. Both of these are squeezed into so many of my EDH decks. 2 damage did not fit the 4 damage theme. When I build a Legacy Burn list both of these cards will be main board.

Red fetch adds what to the strategy?

hootsnagDoh! Glaring omission. Updated to full power now. Added Cursed Scroll to the sideboard for the explosive draw-go empty hands.

SufferFromEDHD on EDH mill what ?!?!?

Cursed Scroll might be useful for the same reason. Colorless damage/removal is amazing, especially in mono blue.

SufferFromEDHD on Keranos Lands

Such a clever concept. Big fan of "less is more" and this list is it. I too have an Izzet 43 Lands.dec list piloted by Keranos but my theme/gimmick was Legacy 43 lands.dec your glass cannon heavy land based combo is awesome!

I'm going to spit ball some ideas because your list got my creative juices flowing:

Cursed Scroll that many basics makes this efficient colorless damage.

Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle make something out of all those basic mountains.

Fiery Islet/Prismari Campus high quality filter and card draw.

Tolaria West tutor for the utility lands.

Burning Sands/Mana BreachOverburden I always try and sneak a stax tax or 2 in my combo decks. These similar cards are an irrelevant tax to you but brutal to aggro strategies.

Back to Basics brutal to greedy mana bases.

Retreat to Coralhelm/Valakut Exploration good value for playing lands.

Fathom Trawl cascade tutor. Treasure Hunt #2

Cut Tectonic Reformation. Add Trade Routes. The synergy with Seismic Assault is necessary to your strategy.

ClockworkSwordfish on Legacy Burn

If you're trying to maximize the number of 3-mana-for-1-damage cards running around in here, which most Legacy Burn decks probably ought to, I'd also recommend Rift Bolt ! Since you're always just pointing it at your foe's head, Suspending it still means 3 damage for 1 mana every time - you just gotta wait a turn. I'd venture that it's a more reliable card than Collateral Damage or Reverberate. Skewer the Critics is another solid 3-for-1 with the easy condition of playing it the same turn you played another burn spell: probably this fills the same role as Reverberate but for one less mana!

I find decks like this also never mind a touch of recurring damage where they can afford it. Grim Lavamancer is a natural, being only one mana to play and use and making all of your spells hit for another 1 damage. Sulfuric Vortex is a decent top end that can finish your foe off while also shutting off lifegain, and Cursed Scroll gets around Protection from Red while giving you a continuous source of damage once you run your hand out and your foe isn't quite dead yet.

MagicMarc on Razor Burn

I think they were talking about the price of the card being a little steep not the mana costs to play or activate.

The best things about either Grim Lavamancer or Cursed Scroll is that they are repeatable and targetable burn. Either one basically lets you Shock at will with easy requirements to use them.

As already mentioned, it is unlikely that Razor Pendulum will change the outcome of any game you are playing and you have zero control over the damage the card provides. Replacing it with any form of repeatable and targetable burn is a better idea than that card. Especially if you go with the assorted Chandra planeswalkers or any card with an activated burn ability like the lavamancer or scroll.

There is a giant pool of cards better than the razor to help burn decks win games. Stuff like Double Vision, Pyromancer's Gauntlet, Staff of Nin, Thermo-Alchemist, Guttersnipe, Torbran, Thane of Red Fell, Tectonic Giant, and Firebrand Archer and many more. There are a lot of choices depending on the deck and format that are better options than that Razor Pendulum.
