This deck is focussed on playing instants and sorceries. It kinda looks like a cruise-burn deck. Together with that we have creatures who get buffed by playing them.
Burn cards: Lightning Bolt,
Incinerate
, Izzet Charm, Magma Jet.
Counter/control cards: Stubborn Denial, Izzet Charm.
Draw cards: Izzet Charm, Gitaxian Probe and
Manamorphose
.
How does the deck work:
The main thing it is burn. And allongside playing burn we play play
Monastery Swiftspear
, Delver of Secrets
and
Kiln Fiend
. Who can all do a sick amount of damage. And delver gets flying when it is transformed so it cant be blocked easily.
Monastery Swiftspear
is nice for early poke. And for mid/lategame
Kiln Fiend
can wreck players. For instance on turn 2 play
Kiln Fiend
, pass the turn. Turn 3: play 2 Lightning Bolt on player and an Artful Dodge. This will do 16 damage in total. If the opponent does not have a blocker you might even play another burn spell making it 19 damage!
In other Delver-Burn decks i saw there were a lot of Young Pyromancer. I think
Kiln Fiend
is better. Because it does about the same damage, but his defence is higher making him harder to kill. This way it is easier for me to attack more often with him. And to make sure
Kiln Fiend
does damage i put in Artful Dodge. And because it is a sorcery it will also give
Kiln Fiend
+3/+0. And it has flashback!
Optimal hand/turns:
Option 1:
Hand: 2 Mountain, Island,
Kiln Fiend
, Lightning Bolt, Delver of Secrets
and Artful Dodge.
Turn 1: Play Island and Delver of Secrets
. End turn.
Turn 2: Show instant or sorcery. Transform Delver into 3/2 flyer. Play Mountain and
Kiln Fiend
. Attack with Delver of Secrets
for 3 damage. Opponent at 17.
Turn 3: Play Mountain, play 2 1-drop burn spells and target player for 6 damage. 11 lifepoints left. Play Artful Dodge and target
Kiln Fiend
. Attack with Delver of Secrets
and
Kiln Fiend
to do 13 damage. Opponent at -2.
Option 2:
Hand: 2 Mountain,
Kiln Fiend
, Assault Strobe,
Brute Force
.
Turn 1: Play a Mountain. Pass the turn.
Turn 2: Play second Mountain, play
Kiln Fiend
. Pass the turn.
Turn 3: Play
Brute Force
,
Kiln Fiend
gets +6/+3 in total making him 7/5. Then play Assault Strobe buffing him to 10/5 with doublestrike. Attack for 20 damage. Opponent at 0.
Playing Gitaxian Probe by paying it with life points you can buff your creatures ''for free'' and you can make sure your opponent does not have a counter. To make you draws better you can use Magma Jet to scry 2 cards.
I'm now finetuning my sideboard. Feel free to suggest!
Just saying: Ferocious cards with
Kiln Fiend
are awesome. Because the effect of
Kiln Fiend
triggers when you cast a spell so it does not have to resolve yet to trigger. Also when the ferocious card resolves you have a creature with 4 power! This makes cards as Stubborn Denial and
Barrage of Boulders
really strong!
