Nathan Explosion here comin' at'cha with another brutal deck. Dethklok is here to make metal, DETH METAL!! Blacker than the blackest black, times infinity! Take it away, Skwisgaar. It's so colds in Sweden, so we play the Burns. Toki I needs your helps. We hates the lifegains and only the deth metals will puts an end to it. Pickles, whats do you thinks? D*BAGS!!! Murderface do you have anything to add? I will disembowel all Kitchen Finks! They will end up in the garbage disposal!

Welcome to the Deck:

Show

I do not wish to include Wild Nacatl, I feel like it really pollutes our mana base. Including that creature also turns this deck into more of a Zoo variant, which is not Burn.

Main Deck Creatures:

Show

Goblin Guide: One of the best one drops we can cast. This card has some pros/cons to it. Being that an opponent can draw some extra lands (Pretty much free cards). However, if the card revealed isn't a land, it gives us added information about what they are drawing into.

Eidolon of the Great Revel: This is an insanely powerful two drop. We will pretty much be ahead in the life race, so slam this as early as possible.

Grim Lavamancer: This is a card for grindier matches. It also recycles our graveyard, which is pretty useless.

Monastery Swiftspear: Another great one drop. This creature has prowess. This is incentive for us to cast our noncreature spells before combat to pump.

Main Deck Spells:

Show

Lightning Bolt: The lord of the red spells.

Lightning Helix: Burn/Removal with a little bit of life gain. Helps with pain from Eidolon and the mirror.

Atarka's Command: A versatile card. If you suspect your opponent holding a form of life gain in hand, cast this in response. Why we are playing Naya burn, instead of, Mardu burn.

Skullcrack: Pretty much 5-6th copy of Atarka's Command. It's also able to kill a Kor Firewalker.

Boros Charm: Another burn card with a bit of versatility.

Lava Spike: Burn spell. Pump Swiftspear with this.

Rift Bolt: Burn/Removal. Don't be afraid to pay the full CMC.

Searing Blaze: Our best Burn/Removal spell for lower toughness creatures. This is why you must save some of the fetchlands in play to make sure landfall is always online.

Main Deck Lands:

Show

Mountain: Two Basics. Good to have against path/ghost quarter effects.

Fetch Lands: There are 12 fetches total, all in the color of red. You need access to green and white. Most starting hands require you to fetch/shock yourself. However, it is possible to perserve life. These also thin your deck allowing you to draw more burn in top deck mode. Be aware you only have 7 fetchable lands in this deck. Landfall is extremely relevant for Searing Blaze.

Sacred Foundry: This is where your white mana is coming from. There are three, because in the mirror match you really want to cast Kor Firewalker{W}{W}, which can be difficult.

Stomping Ground: This is your source of green mana. We aren't running anymore than two, because we don't need double green to cast spells.

Side Board Choices:

Show

Deflecting Palm: Infect decks/Tron/Etc. If 11 points of infect damage are coming at you, it's possible to redirect this as normal damage to your opponent. Emrakul or Newlamog are great sources to target.

Destructive Revelry: Affinity/Enchantments/Artifacts. Excellent way to remove these threats while also burning the opponent. This is why we are playing Naya, and not, Mardu Burn.

Kor Firewalker: Essential for the burn mirror. Do not be unprepared. That game is basically who can land one first. Be aware of how Skullcrack interacts with this card.

Molten Rain: Land destruction with burn.

Pyroclasm: This card is really good against the current meta. It destroys infect creatures, artifact creatures, and is a huge board wipe against Abzan Company.

Path to Exile: WHITE{W} Removal. This is important against other kor firewalkers. You will also lose to Iona, Shield of Emeria if they name red, so path is a way to remove this creature.
