Under $50- Boros Burn

Modern*

Sideboard


This second installment in my "Under $50-Modern Legal" decks is a W/R Burn.

Alright guys, before you go on about there not being Lightning Bolts in here, it was either those or the Boros Charms and I felt like the options that the Charm gives you are more relevant than the 3 damage the Bolt gives you. I was able to add a couple Chain Lightnings, which is a budget alternative and won't be any different unless your opponent is also running red.

For creatures, most burn decks run Goblin Guide or Eidolon of the Great Revel, but as a set of Guides'll put you back almost $55 and a set of Revelers another $40, these are obviously too expensive for a budget deck. A good budget alternative I've found is Hellspark Elemental and Spark Elemental. Their only $8 for a playset of each and nothing says cheeky like a 3/1 haste turn one. Rakdos Cackler and Hell's Thunder are pretty much interchangeable, depending on your opponent.

Flames of the Blood Hand and Skullcrack are essentially the same card and both are solid finishers. Shock is a solid two damage and Searing Blood will kill a good chunk of many turn 2-4 creatures. Flame Javelin is a good 4 damage finisher for three mana and a playset gives a good edge. Rift Bolt is a great card that you can hard cast or really put pressure on your opponent.

Dragon's Claw is a good way to counter other burn decks or even against Aggro. Pyrite Spellbomb is good damage or a card draw, if you need it.

For our sideboard, we have a pretty versatile set. Deflecting Palm can live your life against some big Tron or even kill your opponent. Electrickery is a solid token removal and Rending Volley is a solid burn that will kill most, if not all, your opponents white or blue guys. Wear / Tear is a reliable way to remove affinity pieces or even those cheeky Bogle enchants.

If you guys have any sort of ideas or suggestions, don't be afraid to comment. But try to keep the costs down and give budget options when possible.
