Inspired by ghost89's Vengeant Self Mill.
This is a WIP Modern deck built around
Burning Vengeance
and the Flashback mechanic.
This deck plays as a control style deck early game. You burn creatures with
Burning Oil
,
Geistflame
, and (if necessary)
Devil's Play
. You can bounce larger threats with
Silent Departure
or keep your opponents tapped down with
Feeling of Dread
.
Whenever possible, you are digging through your deck with Think Twice,
Desperate Ravings
, and self-mill
Dream Twist
. All of these are instant speed, so save them for your opponent's end step whenever possible!
Late game you should have one or two
Burning Vengeance
s and, hopefully, a
Secrets of the Dead
out to help your draw spells burn and your burn spells draw. At this point, you need to start thinking like a burn deck and seeing if you can chunk your opponent down, typically with
Devil's Play
.
If you can't burn your opponent down fast enough, you will quickly find yourself out of cards to draw! That is why this deck features singletons of Laboratory Maniac and Unburial Rites, allowing you to flash back your maniac for a late game win.
If this last scenario interests you, I recommend taking a look at ghost89's Vengeant Self Mill. Cards such as
Increasing Confusion
make self mill much easier.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS DECK IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS.
Both the sideboard and mainboard are still being tweaked and sorted out. Many matchups are currently unfavorable. Don't expect this deck to win against storm, it simply isn't prepared yet.
