I love otters. I’ll be interested to see if there are any good ones in the Bloomburrow set.

Hey thanks capwner for pointing him out, I haven’t had much time lately to sift through the newer sets. I’ll add him to the maybeboard for when it’s revision time.

Ah! I misunderstood what you were saying, I see what you mean now. Yes, that might indeed pose a real issue. I do really like the card, so when I eventually give this deck an overhaul I’ll do my best to adjust the mana base to see if it can still have a place here. If not, I suppose it’ll have to go and I’ll check into the other suggestions. Thanks again for the insights.

Thanks for the input, Kjartan. Most appreciated. Always looking to improve whatever I’m building, so I take everything under advisement.
I guess I should begin by acknowledging this is not meant for any competitive play, not by any stretch of the imagination. Just a fun thought experiment that turned into something better than anticipated. I think some of your points are valid—it’s been awhile since I’ve looked at this one, and the mana base does seem to be a little stingy. Could probably do with an overhaul, as many new sets/cards have arrived since.
That said, I disagree about Bond of Agony. It’s proven itself to be a decent finisher. When all goes to plan and this is playing like a normal red burn deck, you should always be a point or two ahead of your opponent’s life total making the investment lethal for them while you squeak by. Things don’t always go to plan though, and should your life total be less than your rivals’ or if the spell gets countered, well…

I like seeing new takes on well worn archetypes, but it can also make it difficult to offer suggestions. The absence of Lightning Bolt is puzzling, for one. It’s S+ tier and should always be run without question.
There’s some other stuff here that’s borderline unplayable, or else is sketchy enough to call into question if it’ll ever prove useful, like Bolt of Keranos. I suppose it all depends on the parameters you’ve set for yourself with the build and/or how competitive you want it to be.

I remember checking a Wizard’s price guide as a young boomer lad and being shocked at the exorbitant $400 price tag for an Alpha Black Lotus.

#1If you already have a set or they fit within the budget, I like to run 4x Flagstones of Trokair in anything mono white. Better draws through deck thinning with no real downside.
