Icaruskid on Dominus Burn

king-saproling I definitely agree on Spellweaver Helix. It's better than Harness the Storm though I dislike it slowing me down by exiling two Dragon's Approach from the graveyard. It's a minor drawback that would otherwise make this an instant maindeck choice. I still go back and forth on it.

Neheb is a powerhouse in any red deck and in burn its a massive mana source. In practice, it's effects usually take a turn to realize and because it's a creature it's pretty vulnerable. It's a big effect but might be on the verge of win-more for my personal tastes.

Syr Carah, the Bold is an excellent suggestion! Repeatable card advantage and damage all in one is at a premium here. The only downside is that it's a creature that is vulnerable to enemy removal and it gets hit by Earthquake. These minor factors keep it on the backburner but it's a close call.

You've got me thinking! Thank you for sharing!

SufferFromEDHD Thank you for the recommendations!

I was initially running Harness the Storm but as much as I found it hilarious to play in a singleton format like Commander, I didn't like having to pay the full spell cost for each copy.

I might have to put one more ramp spell in the deck and even though it's technically not ramp I very much like Expedition Map to grab Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle or War Room.

Gamble would absolutely win more games as I guarantee I would use it to find Thrumming Stone 9 times out of 10. I'm trying to show restraint so this doesn't end up being even more of a combo deck.

I really like the punisher cards you suggest like Browbeat for card advantage or damage. I dislike giving opponents the choice of which is the lesser evil though even with the double damage upside. For now, I think a few looting draw spells and "draw 7 cards" wheel effects work well enough because I can discard Dragon's Approach and speed up cheating a dragon into play.

Breaking Point, Browbeat, Blazing Salvo, Molten Influence, Skullscorch the rattle snake cards get a serious boost alongside Solphim.

Expedition Map to get that Valakut.

Gamble get whatever you need.

Bonus Round win the game.

Final Fortune possibly, maybe?

Harness the Storm similar jank to Pyromancer Ascension that has no place in EDH but Dragon's Approach turns it into an engine.

Blazing Salvo brutal.

Molten Influence neat counterspell.

Breaking Point red Wrath of God is useful.

Harness the Storm secret tech!

Inventors' Fair gotta find that Thrumming Stone

Go for it Saccox, I’ll be interested in what you build. I always thought Harness the Storm was an underutilized card, but then again it’s pretty situational. You need lots of cheap spells with similar effects, unless you think up some other crazy way to use it.

Looks Solid. A few suggestions (followed by reasons as to why they shouldn't be in the deck. lol):


1. No Zada, Hedron Grinder? It doesn't trigger heroic for the copies as they aren't cast. And it pushes the curve at 4 MV.

2. Pyromancer Ascension Comes down a turn earlier than Harness the Storm but again doesn't trigger heroic. Better used for burn spells.

3. Guttersnipe over Labyrinth Champion. This one I actually think is strictly better than Labyrinth Champion. Unless you're playing Auras.

All in all, nice deck. Never seen a Mono Red variant of Heroic before.

This is a really cool deck! I've always been a fan of Akroan Crusader and Harness the Storm looks fun to use with it.

I did a playtest real quick and had dealt 25 damage by the end of turn 5. Good stuff!
