Main Deck (60 cards)

Creatures (4)


Sorceries (4)


Planeswalkers (4)


Enchantments (4)


Land (20)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

A very sneaky way to make good use of Chandra's last ability. Use Tome Scour on yourself to place a decent number of cards into your graveyard. Play the painter to add the color red to all of your cards. From there, play any number of spell cards in your hand that are also in your graveyard to get counters on Pyromancer Ascension, all while keeping the enemy at bay with burn spells and cancels. Once Chandra is out, raise her to 7 as fast as possible. Do not bother with the -2 ability. Once she is at 7, use her last ability to play all of your instant and sorcery cards with the target being the other player. Be sure to cast Unstable Footing first so that the enemy can not block the damage. The player will get hit for double as well due to Pyromancer Ascension.

In essence, you intentionally toss your deck into your graveyard, then use the graveyard against the opponent. Be sure to take a picture oh his/her reaction.

Comments are welcome, as I just made this deck off the top of my head. No idea if it will actually work.

Too bad Chandra's ability only works on Red Sorceries/Instants.

Then you'd be able to mill your opponent's deck too. But great deck idea.
