Deck Description

Do you hate having friends but like spending a lot of money*? Play counterburn! By combining the two most obnoxious strategies in M:TG, you'll be sure to drive off your loved ones. Simultaneously deny them the opportunity to cast anything, while aiming bolts at their face!

*If you don't like spending a lot of money, you can kick the price down to ~$80 by just using basics or maybe the Khans/Zen taplands.

How to Play

The name of the game is denial. Disrupt your opponent's strategy with a repeated slew of counterspells, with some Counterfluxes on hand in case they try anything funny. Aim burn spells at their face, or at creatures when needed. However, Pyroclasm handles most of your removal. A fairly straightforward deck, it's really a menagerie of some of Modern's best counterspells, with burn as a kicker.

Side out Vaporsnag for Aether membrane in aggro matchups, and drop pyroclasm against spell-based decks. Other sideboard options are less specific, and up to pilot discretion.
