This Ghyrson Starn, Kelermorph deck is a finely tuned Izzet burn and pinger engine, designed to convert small damage effects into overwhelming destruction. The deck capitalizes on direct damage creatures like Electrostatic Field, Kessig Flamebreather, and Thermo-Alchemist, turning every spell into a 3-damage burst with Ghyrson in play. Equipment like Basilisk Collar and Gorgon Flail add deathtouch, making each ping a removal spell. Draw engines such as Curiosity, Ophidian Eye, and Tandem Lookout ensure a steady stream of spells to keep the burn going. Copy effects like Quicksilver Dagger and Charisma turn enemy creatures against their own forces. The deck accelerates with Izzet Signet, Wayfarer's Bauble, and Fountainport Bell, while Swiftfoot Boots, Lightning Greaves, and Fervor keep Ghyrson safe and attacking fast. Token support from Krenko, Mob Boss and Impact Tremors adds another axis of burn. With board-control tools like Smash to Dust and Blazing Volley, this deck punishes opponents who rely on small creatures, while spells like Unsummon offer protection for Ghyrson when needed. Whether it’s through direct damage, draw synergies, or repeated pings, this deck ensures that every spell cast ignites a chain reaction of pain.
