Looks great! I've built a similar deck and it's very good, here's some recommended upgrades or possible swaps for fun:

1) Crash Through can be traded for all/a few Expedite to work better with with Adeliz, the Cinder Wind and Harmonic Prodigy, albeit a little slower.

2) Balmor, Battlemage Captain adds to the whole prowess mechanic and buffs your board like Adeliz; I would replace some Umara Mystic with a few of him.

3) Viashino Pyromancer is a cheaper verison of Ghitu Journeymage and is better unless you're doing multi-player.

4) Step Through is a 2 mana tutor that costs almost nothing! Sadly it doesn't trigger prowess etc.

5) Soul-Scar Mage is a bit pricier but would be a nice one drop.

6) Naru Meha, Master Wizard and Docent of Perfection  ^Flip are also good lords to consider.

7) Talrand, Sky Summoner is a good budget swap for Archmage Emeritus for people who don't own any!

RockIV on mono red burn needs help

Rocks Monored burn

hi there, i made this red deck time ago with actually not very much experience about monoreds.

so i have the doubt , should i add more creatures?

i have Spark Elemental Hellspark Elemental, this two creatures to add to the deck. I have seen alot of decks with them, but i dont know what cards should i replace. Will the deck be better with more creatures? maybe i have to take out Viashino Pyromancer and Skullcrack.

should i add cards like Shock, Thunderbolt or Grim Lavamancer ? i know that there are alot of more cards that i should get like Eidolon of the Great Revel Skewer the Critics

i may add Browbeat, for some card draws

ty very much for reading :D

Polaris on Beamsplitter Mage copying and targeting

No. Whenever Dualcaster Mage leaves the battlefield and comes back, its ability triggers again to re-copy a spell. You need two copies of your flicker spell on the stack so that there will be one left for Dualcaster to target once one resolves and flickers it.

Viashino Pyromancer won't work though, as you can only keep the loop going as long as the copies keep targeting Dualcaster Mage - targeting Viashino Pyromancer breaks the loop. This would work with Ghostly Flicker, though, because each copy could target Dualcaster and Pyromancer and flicker them both. This won't work with Beamsplitter Mage of course since it only copies single target spells.

Also, the other big (low price too) finisher for this kind of loop is Ral, Storm Conduit.

9-lives on Beamsplitter Mage copying and targeting

plakjekaas I don't understand step #4. How do you target Dualcaster Mage twice? And, yes, the additonal piece would be Viashino Pyromancer. Why would I use Beamsplitter Mage in the first step? Can't I just target Dualcaster Mage without Beamsplitter Mage??

Really cool prowess build! I think it is pretty good by itself.

Some things to maybe think about?

• Embercleave (I know, original) It gives a prowess trigger on the cast and usually hits for 6 when it comes in.

• If you do put 2-4 Embercleave in the mainboard, you might want to consider Kari Zev, Skyship Raider, Gets you an extra attacker to help lower the cost of the cleave, and is hard to kill being a 1/3 with First Strike. You might want to just replace Viashino Pyromancer with Kari Zev, as the extra "go wide" 2/1 Ragavan it makes helps a lot on turn 3 and 4 when you are swinging for the most damage

• Lava Coil in the sideboard instead of Fry (if you are playing against a lot of Izzet Phoenix, if you are playing against a lot of teferi control, first off that is the best matchup so you shouldn't have to really use Fry) deals with Thing in the Ice  ^Flip and Arclight Phoenix, and a lot of the things Winota, Joiner of Forces deck likes to play.

• Chandra, Torch of Defiance (for more midrange reach) also gives prowess trigger, card draw, and a little ramp / control for grindy midrange matchups. Sideboard and probably replaces the Experimental Frenzy on the games it comes in from the sideboard

• Improve landbase, Castle Embereth is an easy add I think, it is pretty easy to come in untapped, so it is very beneficial up to 4 Ramunap Ruins as if you are the aggro deck, the 6 ish damage you probably average from tapping it for red should not matter against most control or midrange decks if you win.

• Bomat Courier for card draw, although it will be going further away from the prowess game plan, but I'm just giving you cards and ideas you might want to try!

• Glorybringer for midrange matchups, takes a defender out for your prowess creatures before blocks (this is sideboard ofc)

• I would put the Goblin Chainwhirler in the sideboard and put a more versatile 3 drop in the deck. Chainwhirler could be amazing in your metagame, but in mine Ahn-Crop Crasher removing a blocker on a big attack turn is usually better for me

Again, you have to build your deck to your metagame, so just giving you some cards // ideas!

Praepes on 13$ Burn

Awesome budget build! Though I have to say, I feel like 16 lands is pretty light, even for such a low curve. With a playset of Viashino Pyromancer, The Flame of Keld, Lightning Strike nearly 30% of the spells in the deck are shut off without the second land.

I would go down one or even two The Flame of Keld in exchange for another Mountain, because the saga is only really useful when we can consistently empty our hand. I think going up to at least 17 lands will make that much more likely.

Kaladesh came back to Arena and with it came Bomat Courier. I've played the bastard in beta and am happy to make room for him.

out: 3x Viashino Pyromancer 1x Shock 1x Mountain

in: 1x Hazoret the Fervent 4x Bomat Courier

gatotempo on Scrapheap Scrounger in monored

3 years ago

My monored list needs a four-of two-drop, and i am wondering whether or not to splash black for Scrapheap Scrounger or stick with Viashino Pyromancer or Robber of the Rich. Any thoughts?
