Hey guys,

I made a burn deck from my old cards a while ago, but now I want to 'upgrade' it. These are the cards my deck has now:

Sonic Burst 2xSizzle 1xPyroclasm 1xFrostwielder 2xVolcanic Hammer 2xStaff of the Flame Magus 1xLava Spike 2xGuttersnipe 1xArc Lightning 2xFiery Temper 4xRhystic Lightning 2xGlacial Ray 2xLightning Strike 2xFlame Rift 2xYamabushi's Flame 3xShock 3xFlames of the Firebrand 1xLava Axe4x

This are the cards I have. Can you guys please rate it and give tips. I'm prepared to buy new cards to upgrade my deck.

Thank you very much

Now these re just suggestions for cards. I'm not sure how for your budget wants to be, so but a few of these are relatively cheap. Plus, I'm not sure if you are playing just casual, modern, legacy, or whatever, but these are mainly modern burn staples.

Well, I would splash either white/green or both to add Atarka's Command/Boros Charm/Lightning Helix. I would make Lava Spike a 4 of. Lightning Bolts are a must in any burn deck. Rift Bolt is always good. Eidolon of the Great Revel is the best in any modern deck. Any of your opponents cmc don't go over 3, so it gets them every time. You may not think it's the best in your deck because it burns you as well, but it's worth it. Shard Volley is good, especially when paired with Grim Lavamancer. Skullcrack is really good against life gain.

Now, if you're going for a more budget style, you could add Cinder Pyromancer. With all of the red spells, it would be easy to deal a bunch in a single turn. You could also add Monastery Swiftspears, Spark Elemental, and Hellspark Elemental. With any burn deck, you don't want to give your opponents a choice whether or not they get burned, so Rhystic Lightning is not the best.

These are just a few suggestions. Just research cards/other decks to get ideas.
