FACE IS THE PLACE REVISITED: THE SMORKENING

Standard* BR (Rakdos) Burn

nosferitis


Summer has arrived, as has the new m20 set.

Expenses everywhere, money for vacation, tuition, doritos, rent and gamer girl bathwater . Our team worked hard under heat and pressure to create a deck cheap enough for you bottom feeders by removing any need to buy m20 packs and singles.

We as well added a bonus by removing any human interaction or IQ needed to drive this Deck.

Strategy is simple yet effective. Bored of those pesky removals destroying your Runaway Steam-Kin s and Goblin Chainwhirler s? Generate Virtual Card Advantage by rendering their removals useless by running 0 creatures.

But i hear you say, isn't Fanatical Firebrand a creature ? I SAY NO, tis but a burn spell. Only attacking on our first turn considering we play first, otherwise he gets on the board and waits for his time to shine, activating spectacle once we need it for Light Up the Stage and Skewer the Critics

We aim to light up a fire on our enemy's life total using our burn spells: Shock , Sovereign's Bite , Lightning Strike , Carnival / Carnage and Skewer the Critics

''But the fire needs fuel''

Oh yes it does indeed and as a wise man once said

''great is the weapon that cuts on its own''

Our fuel works bothways as burn spells and card advantage ???

Risk Factor we all know it , some love it, some hate it, 20% of our opponent's life and later on 3 cards? Sold for 3 mana to the gentleman with the fedora.

Sword-Point Diplomacy oh yes, the card noone plays, effectively draws 3 cards for 3 mana.

''But they are going to get the damage instead of letting us draw...''

Well if they do, its the same as casting those cards for free as our card generally deal 3 damage anyways

''...and they will only let us get the lands in our hand, excess lands are useless in a burn deck''

Oh dear, there's where Banefire and Finale of Promise comes in.

6 lands on board? No problemo, 5 uncounterable damage with Banefire for only 1 card. More lands? More damage.

4 lands on board?

Guess what , 6 in the face with Finale of Promise .

We practically turn excess mana into excess violence.

And as we all know violence solves everything.
