Spam ETB & LTB effects. NOTE: Since Heartless Summoning and Combat Celebrant are a non-bo, I exchange the two of them in the deck based on how I want to play. If I want a grindy game where I actually cast my creatures, I'll play Heartless. If I want to rush for an explosive win and have the option to combo out, I play Celebrant.

Here are some sweet 2-card synergies, perfect for picking out with Burning-Rune Demon:

• Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker + Combat Celebrant: win the game.

• Ardent Elementalist + Wake the Dead: Reanimate & Sac X creatures from your grave, with "buyback" 1.

• Goblin Welder + Wurmcoil Engine and/or Ancient Stone Idol: Sac one artifact creature to get another

• Doomed Necromancer + any creature: Assuming you have Chainer out, it doesn't matter which card your opponent puts in your hand with Burning-Rune Demon. You can always discard it to play Doomed Necromancer from your graveyard with haste and play the other creature you tutored for 4 mana.

• Sneak Attack + Mikaeus, the Unhallowed: I think this speaks for itself. Don't try to tutor it off of the Demon, though, since there's no way to recur the enchantment.

• Dauthi Voidwalker + Magus of the Wheel: Also speaks for itself.

• Disciple of Bolas + Corpse Augur: Sac augur to disciple, draw a crapton of cards. Life loss & gain cancel out.

• Feldon of the Third Path + Combat Celebrant: It's like Aggravated Assault but cheaper.
