Bombastic Burning Hand

Modern BR (Rakdos)

Mr.Bombastic


Sideboard


A non-competitive black and red deck that involves giving your opponents 3+ cards on a turn, then burning their life total with Molten Psyche or Runeflare Trap . I would have added chalice of the void/blood moon and better removal spells, but I'm trying to keep this deck under $300. Original idea came from "Rakdos Burning Hand" rogue deck build by Giant Monster Games. I added Shah of Naar Isle and Pia and Kiran Nalaar for their synergy. Shah of Naar Island can make your opponents draw 3 cards without needing any additional draw engines, and it can beat their faces for a pretty hefty amount. Pia and Kiran Nalaar give you more defense against creature-heavy aggro decks, and the ETB trigger creates artifacts to bring you closer to the metal-craft trigger on Molten Psyche.

This deck is meant for casual or FNM play. It's extremely funny to see your opponent's face when your burn his entire life total. It's good against mid-ranged decks, but it has trouble with:

  • Fast decks (like infect). You can't react in anyway, and this deck wins no earlier than turn 6. It's very consistent though.

  • Combo decks. You're literally helping them win by giving them more card draw.

  • Control. Card draw is a control player's dream. And the deck hands it to them on a silver platter.

Ideal Starting Hand:

Howling Mine or/and Temple Bell

Two or Three Lands

One removal spell Lightning Bolt,Fatal Push, etc.

One hand burn spell Molten Psyche or Runeflare Trap

Possibly one creature, preferably Eidolon of the Great Revel or Kederekt Parasite

Added 2 Sign in Blood and removed 1 Master of the Feast and 1 Shah of Naar Isle. Sign in blood is faster than master of the feast and shah, and does everything this deck wants: card draw plus life loss for our opponent. Yes, I'm crazy. I want my opponent to draw more cards.
