Sideboard


Some people just like to watch the world burn!

Easily my favorite deck to play, and one of the most difficult decks I run. The objective of the deck? Count down from 20 as fast as possible. How is this done? I'm glad you asked!
The Bolts
Lightning Bolt: 3 damage for R? Seems efficient. A must have in pretty much any deck running Red these days.
Lava Spike: Sorcery-speed Bolt. Also can't be eaten by those pesky Spellskites.
Rift Bolt: Suspended 95% of the time. If this is being cast for its full cost, something has gone horribly wrong or I'm winning.
Skullcrack: Another Bolt that can't get eaten by Spellskite. Also makes opposing Lightning Helixes and Siege Rhinos less painful for us.
Atarka's Command : A better Skullcrack. Boros Charm: When 3 damage just simply isn't enough, we can crack them for 4!
Bump in the Night: Black has Lava Spike, too! But with flashback.
Wait...one card can burn multiple times?!
Goblin Guide: Speedy shocks for days! Generally eats some sort of removal after a couple of turns.
Monastery Swiftspear: More hasty damage? Gets bigger when I Bolt people? Sign me up!
Eidolon of the Great Revel: Screw you, Modern! Even if removed immediately, it still pings the other guy for 2, which is often the deciding factor. He even gets an attack in every once in a while!
Lands! The painful lands!
Welcome to Modern, where all the lands worth playing hurt you! This deck is no exception! Wooded Foothills and Bloodstained Mire can grab any of my Shocks. The Shocks here are Sacred Foundry for Boros Charm, Stomping grounds for Atarka's Command in the main and Destructive Revelry in the board, Blood Crypt for Bump in the Night and Rain of Gore.
The Sideboard
Lightning Helix: For when I need just that extra turn to kill you. Also blanks opposing Helixes.
Deflecting Palm: Good against Tron, Infect, Affinity, and performs well in the mirror.
Destructive Revelry: 4-of. Because Leyline of Sanctity is a thing. Oh yeah, and it stops Spellskite, too.
Path to Exile: For Tarmo, Tron, and annoying creatures
Rain of Gore: Slows down Thopter Sword, makes Anafenza's Company fight fair.
Relic of Progenitus: Stops grave decks in their tracks.
