Deck discussion for A different approach

Remove Pyromancer Acension and Punishing fire and put in 4x Lightning Bolt. Any red deck without lightning bolts is just fail. They are too overpowered and Pyromancer Acension NEVER works. I've never seen anyone actually get to make use of it. If it counted any casts spells (including creatures) then that would be something maybe, but requiring it to be only instants/sorcery and only if one is already in your graveyard is just to much. I mean, those card types make up less than 25% of your deck and the first time you use each it doesn't even count. Which means only 10 cards in your deck could even possible count towards the counters and it requires 4. So the card ends up requiring you to draw and play AT LEAST 6 specific cards (4 of one card, 2 of another) and possibly as much as 8 (2 of each instant/sorcery) to get the 4 marks. Well the chances are pretty much 0.

i disagree with Mglass61 (not about the Lighting Bolt thing, spot on with that) but when playing a pure burn deck it works out quit well i cast Shock then i cast Shock thats 1 quest counter then i cast rift bolt and Another rift bolt 2 quest counters then the punishment begins... as for Punishing Fire i haven't really got to use it very much but i only have 1 in the deck so...

anyway thats a pretty cool deck +1

Oka. U have serious issues mglass. Its in there to copy land finding spells...its not hurting the deck, and I agree, I need bolts, but if anything, my opponent would waste mana to destroy the enchantment so its fine. :)
