Modern Mono Red Burn

Sideboard


My casual Magic groups plays a format we call "$30 Magic", or Modern decks costing $30 or less. That's why I'm not including more expensive cards like Vexing Devil or Goblin Guide. This $30 limit does not include your sideboard, but if you sideboard in cards the total deck value must still be $30 or less.

The goal of this deck is simple: to burn down my opponent as quickly as possible while removing any low-toughness threats I can. The Ash Zealots exist for board presence, able to deal some combat damage to my opponent or deter him from attacking with his low-toughness creatures. The 2 Striking Slivers are in this deck because I can't have 6 Ash Zealots.

The sideboard cards allow me to tweak my deck a bit to adapt to different situations. The 4 Ball Lightnings will be swapped in for the Slivers and Zealots if I find myself up against a deck where I need to dish out maximum damage as quickly as possible. Flames of the Blood Hand is useful against decks that have some life gain. Smash to Smithereens and Molten Rain have obvious uses. The 2 Mountains are in my sideboard because swapping in some of these cards will increase my mana curve a bit.

Any comments or suggestions for improvement are appreciated, but remember the $30 limit.
