PhyrexianPraetor on Mono Red Devotion

kamarupa I honestly feel red is the most difficult to do a devotion list with.

I started it out as a punishment deck with Eidolon of the Great Revel, Screaming Nemesis, Razorkin Needlehead and Leyline of Punishment as the core of the deck.

I tried making it into a dragon based devotion list and found it relied too heavily on nykthos to be effective.

In all honesty, I have struggled to make a decent red devotion list due to most red cards having only one red symbol in their casting costs or due to red not being suitable for a midrange strategy outside of skred.

I agree, the attraction of Fanatic of Mogis is that it's 1 less to cast than Gary. I think the downside is that red doesn't have as many value town/good stuff creatures with RR mana symbols to ramp up the Devotion as black does with stuff like Gifted Aetherborn. I considered Eidolon of the Great Revel, but it generates so much hate, I thought it better to omit it for my brew geared toward casual multiplayer. Perhaps in 1v1 it would be worth it. It certainly fits with your creature base MVs, but your Instants would make it really painful.

• Too many 1 and 2 ofs brings inconsistency. Choose your best cards and play 4 of them.

• Burn cannot win on direct damage alone. You need creatures and other continuous damage source to support burn's gameplan. If you really want the most minimal amount of creature then I believe the creature you should be playing is Eidolon of the Great Revel (bonus thing is that it fits your theme - a fiery humanoid spirit).

• If this is Legacy, then I think you should be definitely playing Fireblast (use the Jace vs Chandra version) .

9-lives on burn deck help to refurbish

Can y'all recommend cards to me that are 'new' in the lack of having them in the current recommmendations for burn decks as they are shown in competitive form as usual? Kinda like how I have Satyr Firedancer, which is a card that is really useful but yet not in the common competitive decks? Plus, it's awesome that Satyr Firedancer is in my deck, lore-wise, as it shows on Eidolon of the Great Revel that it has satyrs dancing, haha.

9-lives on burn deck help to refurbish

Hmmm. wallisface there isn't a way I can make it any faster, haha! Even if I cut down to 60 and keep all of the fastest burn spells, it will still be the same speed as what I have now. Roiling Vortex isn only 1 life per turn. Most lifegain decks are gaining more than at least 1 life per turn. I have a problem because one of the decks I played against uses 10 life gain on a creature with flicker. Every time he flickers it, he gains 10 life. The only response was to kill the creature, which I might or might not be able to depending upon my card draw. My deck is very slightly different from the competitive, with the only thing missing is Monastery Swiftspear, or Goblin Guide, and possibly not having Eidolon of the Great Revel. The problem with the meta in tournaments is that everyone is expecting a certain deck to have certain cards in it. Then, they try to optimize their decks based on that. Nothing new happens until someone new comes along with a new deck type, and then that becomes competitive based on how well it performs. You can't just say 'this is competitive because it's been used a million times'.

Disclaimer: I'm still really bad at evaluating cards before seeing them in action.

I'm going to say it won't work at a full competitive level. You're spending three mana to make your opponent lose three life, which is pretty slow. You're also giving up one of your creatures, which can potentially deal more than three damage if it stays, like Monastery Swiftspear or Eidolon of the Great Revel. Pingers don't show up in burn too much anymore; you might see a sideboard Grim Lavamancer once in a while, but that's it. The card draw and life gain are nice, but the goal of burn is to deal as much damage as possible as quickly as possible, and 3-for-3 isn't enough.

Modern's gotten fast and hard over the last few years. Burn decks, and aggro decks in general, need to be the fastest and hardest of all to stay competitive, and the classic Boros Burn is slipping down the ranks, falling behind combo and "value" decks like Izzet Murktide and Crashing Footfalls.

That being said, it looks like a good centerpiece for a tempo-control deck. It might not be high-end tournament level, but I can see this card winning FNM matches. And, of course, it won't hurt to brew up a burn deck and try it out, just to see what happens.

Wow just realized Eidolon of the Great Revel is $3 now lol. Since it’s now a budget card, that needs to be in there.
