exquiste article and deckbuild. +1 isn't enough.

quick question, how many times do you find yourself having 4 mana for the Elemental Appeal . do you think that Shock might work?

I would say that Ball Lightning could possibly be better than Elemental Appeal . It has a cheaper CMC (granted it deals 1 less damage), however in RDW and burn it's all about speed and gaining the most damage for the least amount of mana spent.

I would seriously consider Price of Progress as a mainboard card in lieu of Slagstorm . Many, MANY players play with non-basic lands, thus making Price of Progress on turn 4 into 8 damage for 2 mana... Slagstorm is more likely to be a dead card than Price of Progress , given the Legacy decklists.

Hello Everyone!

Thank you so very much for your wonderful suggestions! For this week's update, I carefully went through all of the comments posted under this topic as of November 24, 2012.

I have to say that I am very pleased with the advice given to me throughout the development of this deck. Without further ado, I would like to explain the changes incorporated into the creation of the deck's final revision.

Change Log:

• Removed 4x Pyromancer Ascension from the maybeboard.Thank you so very much for the helpful suggestions that were submitted over the last couple of weeks in the comment section. As we reach the deck's final revision, I want to take a moment to thank everyone for your each and individual contributions to this deck's amazing turnout. To be honest, I did not expect nearly this much success in feedback and audience participation when I first premiered this deck idea a month ago.Again, thanks for all of the thoughtful comments! As I am still relatively new to Magic the Gathering, I would very much appreciate any further suggestions and/or constructive criticism that you may have to offer.

I really think you should swap Elemental Appeal for Ball Lightning. It's faster.

Volcanic Fallout is leagues better than Slagstorm .

Rain of Gore is much better than Everlasting Torment and is worth splashing black for. Then of course you can go the route of Bump in the Night as Lava Spike s five through eight.

You could still go bigger and use the life gain hate provided by Sulfuric Vortex , which is probably the most relevant.

I think the most important part of Everlasting Torment (and the reason it's in this deck) is the "damage can't be prevented" ability, as it fights Protection.

Ball Lightning is a creature where as Elemental Appeal is a spell, after reading the description I go for spell at the expense of mana.

nice, +1 from me, but check my burn deck out: Let There Be Lightning!

5 matches between ours, and all were ties.

Only suggestion is to replace Elemental Appeal.One Mogg Fanatic sac and it was toast even if I kicked it.

but all you have to do is drop in the Cursed Totems from the sideboard and your set

Too slow for Legacy gameplay - replace with faster burn.
