All comments and likes/critiques are very appreciated! ^-^**Flavor text**Journal entry 76; We've been fighting them for days. Wave after wave of fire bashing against our shields, and no matter what we do to cut it down, break it or force it to retreat, it always comes back stronger than before. I'm beginning to ask myself if this whole war is nothing but a joke to the monsters...
The deck thrives off of aggression. Play your elemental's, hit em hard and fast, then their tools for whatever you want: Fling them for more damage, Infernal plunge for mana, or reanimate/unearth them for the exact same effects to be reused only even cheaper :DCertain cards are there to max damage output, like assault strobe. Breaking point/Pyroclasm help keep other creatures off the field, and you have nothing to worry about because you only have creatures on the field when you want them ^_^Example game:Turn one: Mountain, spark elementalTurn two: Swamp, desperate ritual, ball lightningTurn three: Swamp, unearth ball lightning, then fling/rite of consumption him.21 damage turn three, no spells. Your opponent was just burned. Purely. :D**SIDEBOARD**For multiplayer games you could also play over sold cemetary :DSkull crack against life gainSmash to smithereens against artifactQuest for zendikar you use during multi-player to keep a more solid elemental output (:

Nice burn deck add chandra Pheniox

not enough damage to be worth anything in the deck :pand thx man :D
I think that the Whip of Erebos would be pretty good if you're gonna have creatures that are only out for a little bit. Pay four and you get them back for a while, them hit hard and throw 'em away. You're in the same place as before, but you did more damage. Also, are token decks a problem for you?
Btw, not sure how I feel on nova chaser, so any replacement ideas are much appreciated (:
Nova Chaser is tricky because since your creatures get sacced at the end of turn and nova chaser required you to put aside an elemental, it means you need 5 mana to cast nova chaser which may take a while. However, because of its 10 power with trample, its amazing. My deck runs burn cards and elementals if you'd like to check it out.
i forsure will (:post a link?
Sure! Its unloved :( http://www.mtgvault.com/mclarenf1boi/decks/elemental-burn-combo/The focus of this deck was being able to get the elemental ramp going and then protect them all with Vigor, my 2nd favorite elemental incarnation after hostility.
Green, if you put a flamekin harbinger in the deck and got it out, you could have more creatures swinging fast and hard. The big plus for this is getting cheap cards out very fast, and it works well early on for control.
Nice, this might give you some ideas! http://www.mtgvault.com/ardendean/decks/moneyshot/ http://www.mtgvault.com/ardendean/decks/bloody-ball-growth/
nice, thanks man! :DI'm definitly considering bloodlust, but what to switch out for it? :pmind givin a like for some attention?? Wanna try and get this on hot page ^-^
what about Nova Chaser
I like nova chaser because on fourth turn i can attack with him, then maybe add a double strike or fling him. :D Maybe past in flames+burning veangeance should go all together :o
Nova chaser is a dead draw until T4, in an aggro deck like burn you want to be able to always be casting whatever you draw.
true, true (:but what to replace him with??
Does it have to be all elemental? Cuz Vexing Devil would be something to consider... THAT card is almost the "Definition of Pure Burn"... lol
I'm thinking of adding +3 or +4past in flames for my low cost cards. worth it?
I added Assault Strobe to mine. So, if you have all the cards in hand it'll hit for 26 (6+4+3)x2
yeah, but its too late game for it to be worth anything :(i just dumped burning vengance all together and I'm gonna save it for another deck idea ^-^
Oh wow, another top page deck? ^-^thx guys, ur all too sweet for liking the deck :3
Nice looking deck. Vexing Devil is always fun.
Sure.. (y)
i hate that card with a fiery passion lol
have you thought about Madcap Skills? Give it to that Nova Chaser and BOOM!
how is this burn
how is it not
Exactly, this is no burn. Closer to elemental tribal.Still not too bad, try Brute Force for damage and protection against Bolts. Also forget about Infernal Plunge.
infernal plunge is nice for burn spells and maybe a nova chaser if i have two elementals on the field. I want this deck to be fast, and ive always thought that these cards were faster than any burn spell besides turn one kills like shoals (:
and dont imagine this deck as a rush deck:Imagine your creatures are simply manifestations of burn.. Burning isnt just instants, it's quick, direct damage, which this deck offers nothing BUT that, just simply not through spamming instants and sorceries with a kiln fiend XDIts easily one of my favorite decks, simply because the idea is the deck all together is no defense, just straight out fire to your opponenet untill he crumbles (:
Agreed. The guy who said that doesn't understand the burn concept I guess.
Yes but this deck is called "Definition of pure burn" ... and Ball Lightnings and stuff certainly is no burn. Breaking Point isn't "pure" burn either and Assault Probe and Unearth are certainly no burn whatsoever, by any definition (same is true for Desperate Ritual but I'll let that slip). In fact, this deck doesn't have a single pure burn spell that burns without questions, all burn spells that are there need something to sacrifice and/or special conditions to be met. I understand your stance on Ball Lightings all too well, but the title of the deck is just misleading.
Mimic Vat will be nice in this deck
too slow for this deck im afraid :p
Nova chaser seems bad considering most of your elemental's sac at end of turn. Even ball lightning isn't exactly likely to live a full turn. He just seems inconsistent. Magma jet seems better, it makes sure you get to keep finding gas and that every draw is live while still dealing damage.What is infernal plunge in here for? I don't get that inclusion at all
infernal plunge is used so that i can hit with an elemental, sac him, and burn him with the mana by using spells in my hand.. Or, if i have two on the field, i can sac one of em and get nova chaser out a little faster or i can attack with two, sac one for infernal plunge, then sac the other with a fling card for double damage. So many possibilities with that damn card its ridiculous :D
masterless has deleted this comment.
I'd remove black all together and just throw in elixers to re-use the creatures. But thats up to you.
This deck rapes tournaments. Legacy monster.
^-^ ^-^ ^-^ :D
How about Quest for the Pure Flame? Total bomb.
Sure.. Not a "total bomb" alone... But it's undeniably a potential "total bomb"...
originally this deck was mono red and used that spell instead of the reanimate and unearth, but its not worth it for 1: speed of the deck2: Damage output with a reanimate/fling would be better (:
Undying evil could be another possible option, depending on how much black you want to have
that is an amazing idea^like....i seriously need to look into the rules for that card:D
Well it will put your card back into play but the creatures that sacrifice themselves will just sacrifice themselves again at the end step of your opponents turn. Only really leaving a blocker.
Damn, this one looks fun!
It doesnt just look fun, its so much fun to play against a control style deck where they try and block creatures or wipe the field cause im just like"the fields allready wiped biyutch >:D "
Aaaaawwwwwwwww shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeettttttttttttt!!BOARD'S PRE-WIPED, MOFO'S!And BOOM goes the dynamite!
And boom goes the dynamite ^-^
KA_BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!
Looks like a lot of fun! If this were my deck, I would put in Rite of Flame instead of Infernal Plunge.
I was thinking of that, but im not sure :/
Double Cleave will catch your opponent off guard a lot more than Assault Strobe will.
i don need to catch them off gaurd+I really need to keep my buffs at a low mana cost (:
Exactly! This deck can easily get a 3/1 w/double strike, trample, and haste on turn 2!
^this guy see's the deck as it truely is (:
**RECENT DECK CHANGES**-4 infernal plunge+4 rite of consumptionI never knew about the rite of consumption untill now and it blows infernal plunge out of the way easily!
Love the deck name! Looks so incredibly FAST!
It's almost*puts on sunglassestoo fastYEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHH ^-^
Perpheros, hammer, grapeshot and glacial ray.
Not sure how Purphoros or Hammer would help considering you would never have 5 devotion and you don't need haste on creatures and you would be lucky to hit enough lands to use hammer active.
^he gives all the points i wouldve (:
What happens if the other guy has a silver knight or any prored?Edit: Skullcrack. I think.
not sure what you mean :p
he means what if your opponent has protection from red. to which i would say, you can't plan for every contingency. that and he'd have to have blockers for each attacking creature that have protection from red anyway, and the trample damage would carry over regardless.
lol thankyou? XD
Greenee. If you were to add one more card to make it 61 card deck, what would you add?
haha probably blasphemous act (:that, or another nova chaser? I'm honestly not sure at all XD
Looks like a really fun deck to play. I have built decks similar in the past. However this is not a legacy tournament deck without some dramatic changes. I have no intentions of dissing this deck but going for a Elemental Tribal burn just isn't going to be good enough in most legacy settings. You have basically made a slow RDW deck that dies to graveyard hate which is rampant in legacy. Your deck depends on you playing cards in a certain order to be effective, you will have lot of bad top decking. You have 20 cards that depend on targeting a creature on the battlefield or in a graveyard but you only have 14 creatures and most don't stay on the board. If you encounter any form of disruption your will have a hard time recovering. If you are playing in a more casual setting I'm sure it will catch a lot of players by surprise or players that are running slower decks will get ran over. If you are looking for legacy burn you need to be playing stuff like: Price of Progress, Chain Lightning, Goblin Guide, Fireblast, Lava Spike, Rift Bolt or run a damage recursion engine like Grim Lavamancer and tons of fetchlands. If you want to keep it with the Elemental tribal I would add Blistering Firecat and take out Rite of Consumption. Sacrificing at sorcery speed just seems bad. I also really like Hell's Thunder as a flyer with unearth that doesn't die to lightning bolt. I put together a really fun elemental stompy deck that plays the classic trinisphere, blood moon chalice of the Void package but I also ran the 3+ costed Elementals. I even use 2 mimic vats because I can get them out fast and because the deck slows the game down to a speed that makes it a viable card. It can get nasty with a Trinisphere in play then you get a Mimic Vat and Fulminator mage lock going. If you are interested.Elemental Stompyhttp://www.mtgvault.com/mursh/decks/elemental-stompy/Good luck with your deck!
lol the cold truth .-.haha, i agree, this deck needs some work, it surprised it got the attention it did, I made it for table top playing XDand ill forsure check out that deck, thanks man (:
My advice is get rid of the swamps and put in Blood Crypts instead. You don't ever want a plain swamp in your hand if your planning on pulling a Ball Lightning on turn 3.
but they so expensive D:and i added desperate ritual which is perfect for this deck (:
Rakdos Guildgate would still be better than a Swamp in hand and could still guarantee Turn 3 Ball Lightning. ;)
Also consider with the desperate ritual, although it does combo nicely with the other spells, it's a card in hand and doesn't provide any damage, and burn always could use draw card function so wasting a card in hand isn't ever a good idea.
it brings me my bigger creatures out faster which when unearthed will do more damage than any low cost burn spell in the game (:
this is such a weak deck....omg :Owhy so many likesi will post my burn deck today it's like end in 3 turn,not this slow crp
Three turns:Turn one: Mountain, spark elementalTurn two: Swamp, desperate ritual, ball lightningTurn three: Swamp, unearth ball lightning, then fling/rite of consumption him.21 damage in three turns bud ;)
Real men win with storm on turn 1
or blazing shoal combo XDand ur name suits that comment perfectly ^_^
Blistering Firecat instead of Hell's Thunder. Also, try looking into Lightning Coils.
too right, i added it (:
Alright this deck is really creaking awesome as I condidered it. Although I would have to agree its not tournament worthy it will definitely catch attention. For 50$ this deck has some serious kick to it. I love the concept and how well put it is, I think the only drawback would be not much draw here so if it did last past turn 5 you'd be kinda stuck. But well done my friend!!! I really enjoyed this take on a burn deck. I wish more people would post stuff like this, with just pure definition;D
haha, thanks man! :Dand i agree, i really just need to add altars reap and itll forsure be tournament capable, but this is a table top deck after all (:
http://www.mtgvault.com/themudonja/decks/aggroburn/here you go,this is a burnand this has some defense as well so that it can sustain vs toughtseize,inqistion,duress and similar
^well yeah, anyone can make a simple rush deck, but theres nothing cool about that, and I like to make efficient decks with some flavor (:
Ball Lightning will totally annoy the hell out of the player. Ball Lightning FTW.suggestions on my unfinished deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/carlorozy666/decks/neardeath/
what are your thoughts on vexing devil over spark elemental?
spark elemental is much more key to the deck because of his haste and instant graveyard presence to be resummoned and flinged later. (:Although yes, you could make a case for vexing, i hate vexing devil and am pissed that they made that card -_- so, this deck plays spark elemental, which fills the place better in honour and efiiciency :D
Vexing Devil is just plain awesome though. Not for this one but definitely for other burn decks. He has his ups and downs like any other spell. If you are thinkin that he's too OP, well it's also true that he gives the opponent the option, which is almost never good.
I would like to see how the deck works with two Vexing Devils instead of two Blistering Firecats. The Devils got a good synergy with Unearth being able to deal four damage more times. The Firecasts are a 4 mana creature a little bit slow compared to Vexing Devil. Another card to take a look is Browbeat, it gave you more draw power for three mana or five damage, think it's good against not heavy creature decks, moving Breaking Point to the side board. But if you gonna face a horde Breaking Point is the best.
I do agree with the idea of adding Vexing Devil, but it's really up to you, Greenee.
...ur case for vexing devil is too good to be annoyed XDI'm gonna add a playset, but im not happy about it ;)and browbeat is a very good idea, and i might mainboard it, not sure (:
That's OK. Just offering my opinion.
i added the vexing's (:and browbeats an awesome idea, but breaking point is much more efficient in my opinion for the decks idea of keeping creatures on lockdown
Makes sense.
Yeah, you are right, for creature lockdown Breaking Point is awesome.
I was right! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!*fist bumps the airmultiple times
Y undying evil?
Agreed. I'd consider Brighthearth banneret or magma jets...
Yeah Undying Evil doesn't help any creature in the deck other than vexing devil. If you save a elemental that sacrifices itself at the end of the turn, it will still die at the end of your turn after you play your undying evil.
He's right there.
He does have a point. I would rid of undying evil, and replace it with Lightning Bolt or Pyretic Ritual.
u place undying evil on it at the end of attacking if it survives and it lasts til the next turn :pthat, or u do that and fling or ceremony it to do one mroe damage or gain one more life :D
It won't last until your next turn, though. You have to sac it at the end of turn, or the beginning of the next end step. Your creature dies. It would be good if you had a second attack phase. None of the other cards in this deck will allow that to happen.
place undying evil on creature meaning next time it dies, it comes back.. It dies at end phase, then stays on the field having "un-dyed" right? Is my science wrong XD
We are just trying to say that it will trigger again at the end of your opponents turn so your creature will be dead before you can attack again.
Yup. You may have him as cannon fodder, but that's about it.
Great deck, man. I bet this thing destroys! I have red deck that is somewhat like this. It usually wins in four turns. I'd like to go head to head with them. Haha.
haha if u want to get smacked down then allrighty ;Dlol, i kid i kid, but do u have urs on the vault so i could get some notes?? (:
Not just yet. I have thirteen decks, and not much time to add them. I may be able to add it, this weekend.
Oversold cemetery!!!
Tarfire!!!
considering hunted horror over blistering firecat, any ideas on this change?? (:
Hunted Horror is a good card for finishing. So in this deck I think its gonna work for a few turns, because your opponent can block the Elementals with the tokens and that is not good. What do you think about Awaken the Ancient instead the Firecats? 7/7 with haste also can help to block...
as amazing as that card is, i think it would eliminate my whole "no creature on the field constant field wipe strategy" as breaking point would kill him :/
**CHANGES TO DECK**-1 pyroclasm+1 mountain-4 blistering firecats+4 hunted horrors
You forgot to remove Hunted Horror from your sideboard.
ah, my bad XDtook them out (:what do you think of them as an addition to the deck?? (:
Greenee, take a look on the red and black god from Born of the Gods! Might suit well in this deck.
This may have already been asked but say you unearth Hellspark Elemental then use Rite of Consumption, are you sacking it to the graveyard before the exile step happens? Then you can unearth him a second time?
