There is never too much burn! —July 10, 2017

Thx for tips from Matrixxx999 and IQuarent time to make some changes:

You don't have the Russian anthem playing when this opens, which is honestly a problem as it is a great anthem. It looks like a pretty cool list though.

I would strongly recommend as many copy spells as you can fit in the deck. Copy spells are very useful for a variety of reasons.

My favorite use of copy spells is targeting counterspells, choosing the counterspells as the target, ensuring your spells resolve.They're great against green decks or many other decks as well. Keeping, say, Reverberate in your opening hand lets you copy early Cultivates and Demonic Tutors that you wouldn't normally have access to. Late game copy Tooth and Nail(meaning yours resolves first and typically does so much damage that you kill them before their own Tooth and Nail) or Praetor's Counsel.

Since you're playing a spell deck, Reverberate and the like also allows you to copy your burn spells, pushing them that much farther and typically ending the game that much earlier.

I would personally include Reverberate and Fork as essentials, but keep an eye on Wild Ricochet and Reiterate as well.

Flytrigreen Idea with anthem is cool! But I'm afraid I don't quite know how to put sound track on the deck page :-( Maybe later I read some info on TO forum about it.

IQuarent Thx you for suggestions!

Reverberate & Fork - I got your point IQuarent and in theory copiers can actually be nice for counter counterspells and use of strong sides of other colors spells. But in my practice (or maybe I just had bad luck with those two spells in my past experience) most of the time I want to have something else in my hand other than copier, cuz there was simply no target for it. Currently there is less than ten cards in deck which could be used with these two spells, I think this card number is very low and occupy two card slots for Reverberate and Fork not effective.

Still if I choose to put them in, any ideas what to cut?
