Kiln Fiend

Creature — Elemental Beast

Whenever you cast an instant or sorcery spell, this gets +3/+0 until end of turn.

jonjonhholt Kiln Fiend would be super badass, I honestly was just loving the ward on Dwarven Forge-Chanter I still need to playtest this though. Thanks for the comment and the tips as always!

while i like Dwarven Forge-Chanter's resilience, with cards in the deck like Felonious Rage and Supernatural Stamina which want the targeted creature to die, Kiln Fiend might pack more of a punch in the dwarves place. However without a way to really give Kiln Fiend trample, Dwarven Forge-Chanter's ability to get in for multiple hits may prove to be more valuable. Regardless super fun deck as always!

I love this project, my nephew is about old enough to learn how to play so I'm putting these decks together to teach him.

The combat puzzles are great too. Some of the red creatures don't match up after the latest update, but most of the puzzles still work the same way with Festival Crasher instead of Kiln Fiend and Chandra's Spitfire instead of Impetuous Sunchaser. There are just a few where the trample from Archweaver doesn't math properly with the extra toughness on Festival Crasher, I think #22 and #23 are the only ones that would need tweaking to have a solution.

Update complete. Chandra's Spitfire to replace Impetuous Sunchaser. This and Twinferno has given red some good reach and it remains a strong deck without the Kiln Fiend +3 combos.

I also added Skyship Stalker to the maybelist. I good basic red dragon with stereotypical red abilities. It could replace Jeska, Warrior Adept to cut down the cost, but she is sort of a figurehead for the deck and I am reluctant to remove her.

Thanks again for making these- a brilliant resource.

A previous commenter mentioned the explosiveness of the deck might be too high with the turn 3 synergy of Kiln Fiend into Rush of Adrenaline + Assault Strobe + any other instant/sorcery = 24 damage.

I can see the idea that this is the point of the deck, but also that losing to this feels like it was barely a game and wasn’t fun/interactive.

Suggestions on how the deck might just slightly slow down whilst retaining explosiveness with some substitutions from newer sets:

  1. Festival Crasher stands in for Kiln Fiend, has a more modest +2/+0 per instant/sorcery. The turn 3 combo becomes 18 damage instead of 24.

  2. Twinferno stands in for Assault Strobe. Costing 1 more to cast, the turn 3 combo becomes 18 damage instead of 24. Personally I find Twinferno to have more thematic art and flavour for a red deck, and the modal casting adds some more gameplay depth too. A further alternative is Two-Headed Hunter as an adventure instant, but ungainly complexity.

I'd like to suggest Kiln Fiend, I think it synergieses well with Godzilla if I understand the card rules correctly.

Although I haven't played much pauper, a quick search led me to some card for you to consider. Ancestral Anger might be worth running over Crash Through, Mutagenic Growth always pairs well with Kiln Fiend, and Renegade Tactics might be worth considering for the sideboard.

This is far more niche but Monastery Swiftspear is worth considering over Kiln Fiend, as it has a bit more of a quick bite that requires less setup.
