Added some black into the deck, 4 Bump in the Night and 1Kolaghan's Command to lower the curve and add more burn

would remove Chandra's phoenix and add Seeker of the way. id also add more burn to replace the draw since i think that you usually don't need it.

Im not sure i would use seeker, i feel that the Monastery Swiftspears play that role a bit better, i will definitely cut down on the Chandra's Phoenix to a 2 of, because i really like having the repetitive threat at the top of the curve. But i do agree the card draw is not entirely necessary i do enjoy it, so i think ill cut those down too. Thanks for the advice, it helps a lot!

maybe Browbeat for some card draw. You should definitely play some Vexing Devils theyre just crazy good.

With 18 lands, some of them being fetches, it'll be pretty hard to cast Magmatic Insight when you need to. And Browbeat is a 4-drop, so you'll be short on mana to cast it more often than not. If you want card draw in a Burn deck, Dangerous Wager is the best option, IMO. You'll only cast it when you have nothing else of value in your hand anyway.

Satyr Firedancer is alright as a budget card (Eidolon of the Great Revel and Goblin Guide are what RDW really wants for creatures, but those are expensive), but I'm not feeling Chandra's Phoenix. If you get to the point where you're repeatedly casting a 3-drop, as a burn player, it means it's your only remaining threat, so chances are you've run out of gas and can't win anymore.

As for your sideboard, Fated Conflagration suffers from the same problem as Browbeat in that it sits too high on your curve, and not hitting players makes it a very lackluster card for its cost. Chained to the Rocks is enough creature hate for your SB, so use that space for something else - Fulminator Mage, for example. And instead of running Erase for enchantments and Smelt for artifacts, why not Wear / Tear for both? If it bothers you that Wear costs more than Smelt, Smash to Smithereens gives you a good reason to pay the extra , and Shattering Spree hits multiple artifacts. All of those are better than Smelt.

Wait, Browbeat is a 4-drop, not a 3-drop. Stupid me. (still too much to pay for a choice card, though)

Browbeat is 3-cost, and youre not really giving the guy a choice, your deck hits hard and fast, by the time youve run out of cards in your hand (aka when you play Browbeat), the guy should be under 10 life, taking 5 at that point is not an option for your opponent, agreed it can "whiff" and be a burn spell when you need a draw spell, but 5 damage for 3 mana isn't terrible, and it'll make it almost impossible to refuse you the cards if you draw another Browbeat

I know that most decks dont run Browbeat, and a lot of other cards for that matter, but i dont really have budget for the fullout modern burn. The point you made on Magmatic Insight is really good, and i think ill just stick to Tormenting Voice, it has synergised very well with the Chandra's Phoenix, basically its a free card as long as i do damage. Having that repeatable threat has been really useful so far too, i might cut it down to only 2 when i get better stuff, but i still like it a fair bit.

Goblin Guide and Eidolon of the Great Revel are significantly out of my price range, and i know that there is a lot of value to the eidolon and ive seen it work and be amazing, but im still just not a huge fan of it personally, and even with the budget i dont know that i would want to run it.

And the sideboard really is just budget and stuff i had lying around. I dont think ive ever put in the Fated Conflagration, and i have just forgotten to take it out really. I am getting the Wear / Tears soon, its just a matter of me picking them up, and the Erase and Shatter are just placeholders for now.

Thanks for the tips, they help out a lot!

I would take out Spite of Mogis completely. You should be able to end the game before the opponent puts out a creature that needs to be killed by Spite. You seem to be focusing too much on their creatures, when Satyr Firedancer and Young Pyromancer, if you choose to keep them, should be more than enough to handle them. Consider Abbot of Keral Keep if you feel like you need creatures on a budget. For artifact hate in the side I would look at Shattering Spree as well as above suggestions. Thunderous Wrath as a 1- or 2-of wouldn't be bad at all in the main. I've seen a burn deck win Turn 3 with a Miracled Thunderous Wrath, a Monastery Swiftspear, and 3 Bolts and Spikes (it was against me, salt). Five card win. I would check it out.

Maybe add Temple of Triumph

I would, the issue is that it comes in tapped, so it is sadly too slow for this deck

dymk says... #11

+1 for sure. This is a nice burn.

Suggestions:

A pair of Rugged Prairie great R/W filter land that comes in untapped.

A single Thundermaw Hellkite for top end, hasty dragon fun.

A pair of Boros Reckoner that makes them reconsider blocking or bolting.

A single Chandra, the Firebrand to pair up the burn spells.

DuBie15 says... #12

Thank you! It is probably my favorite deck to play right now. I really like the idea of Rugged Prairie and the singleton Chandra, the Firebrand, i could see them working quite nicely. The Boros Reckoner i am not too sure about because he wont do damage as quickly as i would like, so i am not sure how well he works here. The Thundermaw Hellkite is cool, i just think he is a tad too expensive for me, especially if the Chandra is coming in.

Thank you so much for the suggestions, have a wonderful day!

Chandra, Pyromaster can 0 to find you an extra card in a top-deck war. I also like Path to Exile over Chained.

November 4, 2015 12:16 p.m.

DuBie15 says... #14

i agree with you about path being better, the only reason i am not running them is price really. Chandra, Pyromaster is interesting for sure. The cmc is a bit high for my deck though, any suggestions on what i would take out for it? Im not sure how many i would include either.

ArchFline says... #15

You know what would be fun in this deck? Vexing Devil as most people don't know that they are fighting a burn deck until the get... burned, so many people will take the 4 damage not knowing how bad of a choice it was :P. Also maybe Reforge the Soul but that one may be a bit slow.

December 23, 2015 7:47 p.m. Edited.

DuBie15 says... #16

I do love Vexing Devil and if at some point i have a bit of extra money around i will probably get some, cause 4 damage for 1 mana is wonderful in this deck. Reforge the soul is not ideal, i think the one miracle card is good in the deck, because its basically dead if i have it in my opening hand, so putting in any more would be less than ideal. Thanks!!

Hey DuBie15 thanks for the suggestions on my deck! The things I saw in your side board look great but you might consider Leyline of Sanctity for other burn decks and the mirror match. You might also consider Leyline of Punishment or something like Everlasting Torment to shut down life gain so they can't stall you out. Hope these are great suggestions good luck with polishing off this Boros deck.

DuBie15 says... #18

I actually have a Dragon's Claw in the sideboard now that i have forgotten to update in case of the mirror match. Leyline of Sanctity is a bit expensive, and if its not in my opening hand it really will hurt to draw, since i usually only get to 3 mana. I have looked at Leyline of Punishment and it could be great, but again a bit expensive, and im trying to lower my curve. Everlasting Torment is a really cool card that i might put into the sideboard, but to deal with lifegain i usually just use the Skullcrack since it's cheap and harder to deal with at instant speed.

Ok just some ideas, Vexing Devil is also defiantly a good choice for this style of deck. Another card that might be good is Ash Zealot for graveyard recursion.
