Deck Description

im trying to make a burn deck, im probably gunna fail pretty bad, ive never made a burn deck and i dont use alot of red, my very first deck was a red deck but it was mediocre and idrc for it, leave comments and tell me wat needs to be changed to improve my deck, i need a deck to play my freinds standard stuffy doll deck that hes buying, its basicaly untouchable

I took out vexing devil because im on a bit of a budget and it raised the price of my deck about $50 so i swaped it for furnace scamp, i know, not a very good exchange but still somewhat effective

Ive got a good 1 mana mana curve and i wanna try to keep it that way but if you think theres a card that will make this deck perfect, rercomend it down below in the coments and ill take a look at it, i still need a sideboard also, im taking suggestions, rite now im trying to make this as quick as possible

Ive used this deck online and it wins most of the time, its really quick like ive had alot of turn 5-6 wins, my fastest was a turn 4 win with it and i wanna buy this deck because my friends buying a deck and its based around stuffy doll, he wnt be able to play his card til at least turn 4 (hes running green and white) and if i can win the turn he brings it out or the turn before he brings it out then perfect, so far though ive noticed that this deck is pretty quick, ive seen faster burn decks but this is my first try at a burn deck and i think i did a decent job, please leave some feedback so i can know if i need to change anything or if something in this deck is seriously wrong, if you leave feedback thanks for your oppinion.

This is my 3rd deck to make top decks, ive only been on mtg vault for like 3 weeks if tht :p well anyways, im happy to have another deck in top decks, this deck isnt that good but it can hold up in 1 on 1 unless ur opponent is running a counter deck

Deck discussion for *help* first burn deck

Fun thing bout a burn deck is u really cant screw it up. Point of burn is to finish the game as fast a possible. For creatures grim lavamancer and goblin guide are commen creatures and then just stack 1- 2 cost burn spells. lighting bolt lava spike, etc. Vexing devil is also amazing for burn. Drop the 2 mana burns and the red sun. enchantment isnt gonna show much use and x spells are more for a long game finisher witch isnt the point of burn. Sorry if I sound nit picky. Hope this helps :)

Try Fireblast, Incinerate, Chain Lightning, and Furnace Of Rath. These should keep your opponent warm and toasty.

If this deck burns as fast as you say, how much use do you get out of the elixers?

Also, I wouldnt use burst lightning or galvanic blast either, as they are effectively 2dmg spells in this deck. You should consider searing blaze for a two for one, or quenchable fire as a finisher. Although you may not want to play quenchable fire againt blue, as it basically becomes a very expensive 3 damage... (I know, both of them cost more than 1 mana, but are both very effective cards and I often include them in my burn decks. I have lost count of the games I have won with Quenchable fire)

Seismic strike even?

I hope this helps. :)

I always like to see budget builds.

Here, Ruby Medallion is doing nothing for you; all of your spells only take R to play. I don't play burn often, but if I come up with any good card suggestions I'll be sure to post them for you.

The only thing similar to that would be Gauntlet of Might, I think.

ruby medallion does nothing for you here, because it does not reduce the cost of any of your spells D:

so, you should take that out and add in some more burn!

I would take out the shock, for Lava Spike.
Galvanic Blast, for Searing Spear.
Gheistflame, for Incinerate.
Furnacescamp for Guttersnipe.
Arsonist, for Mudbutton Torchrunner.
And Burst Lightning for Arc Blade. (It gets cast again, every three turns without paying its manna cost.)

I know it takes the manna cost up, this is what I would do though. The Lava Spike I'm fairly sure you will like only costs 1 red, and does 3 damage instead of 2.
Searing Spear, costs 1 and 1 red, deals 3.
Incinerate, costs 1 and 1 red, deals 3.
Guttersnipe, 2 and 1 red, whenever you cast a burn spell, deals 2 damage to each opponent.
Mudbutton Torchrunner, 2 and 1 red, when he dies he deals 3 damage, and it's a goblin.
Arc blade, 3 and 2 red to cast, 2 and 1 red to suspend, deals 2 damage, and resuspends, with three time counters on it.

its decent in 1 on 1 but thats about it and i play in a group of 3+ generally with some friends so i dnt use it much against them :p even tho it always ends up with me and my uncle goin 1 on 1 in the end because i kill off every1 else while he builds up a bunch of tokens, but generaly its close until he out of nowhere gives himself like 30+tokens, its just insane :p

Thanks for commenting on my pirate deck! This deck of yours looks fun to play. I might recommend Rift Bolt in place of either Tarfire or Shock, as it does 3 damage for 1 (suspended) red mana, albeit at sorcery speed.

ember hauler, pillar of flame, forked bolt, incinerate, dual casting, thunderous wrath, and re think vexing devil. trade up or at least run 1 or 2. that and thunderous wrath make a red deck sweet with burn.

You might want to try either breaking point or browbeat. Browbeat offers card draw or damage and it's always a bad choice for the opponent.

You could try using Lava spike for 3 dmg, or maybe Thundering wrath if you enjoy Miracle cards. I personally like things like Volcanic Hammer over using Shock, one more manacost aint really that bad.

http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=189446 You could take a look at my burn deck. I decided to go creatureless, and just to try and rush my opponent down to 10 hp to finish him with Hidetsugu's.

I like where you are going with the deck, but you could run into a lot of trouble against a solid life gain deck.
I would recommend Leyline of Punishment or Sulfiric Vortex to answer that possibility.

If you wanted to add some additional mid-game power-> I really like Fire Servant for the double damange, and if you go with him, gauntlet of might or gauntlet of power add a lot to your midgame.

Another option is to use 4 shrines of burning rage + 4 volt charge. This strategy allows for strong use of Koth of the Hammer, or even a Chandra if you feel like it.

I like that you have 2 howling mines to take advantage of your low Converted mana cost and if you stick to that (as opposed to opening up your mid-game), I would say you could up that number to a 3-4.

I think Furnace Scamp is too weak/slow for this deck and you would do better by taking him out to add 1-2 more Howling Mine, OR Goblin Guide. In fact, Goblin Guide would be better than the Arsonist or Fireslinger.

Another good card you could add that would fit your theme is Lava Spike (1 mana, 3 dmg, only to a player, sorcery)...

A solid answer to multiplayer is Sulfiric Vortex.
A solid answer to tokens is Earthquake.

I *highly* suggest Reverberate. You can never go wrong with three or four of them in a burn deck.

0

I would take out galvanic blast, and put in cinder pyromancer. It taps to deal one damage, but untaps when you play a red spell. I have been killed by that card a lot actually. Or you could put in reverberate, or something that you can get the full potential of. Cause you only have 2 artifacts, galvanic blast needs at least 3 OUT to be most effective.

May i suggest Seal of Fire, it's never left my burn deck since Mercadian Masques. It's a shock you can spend mana on when you have it free and use the burn any time you want by sac'ing the enchantment. Great deterrent for creatures with low toughness.

I'd swap the howling mines for wild guess, so you can pitch away any extra lands for more burn and your opponent doesnt gain the card benefit from it.

pretty good deck for a budget. I don't have any cheap suggestions for you unfortunately :(

I'd be interested to know if you get bored of playing this deck though? I generally get bored of a standard deck after about 10 plays. Usually quicker if its red, since it's all very samey.

I have a red deck that wins no later than turn six. As it stands, it is undefeated. You want low cost creatures and spells to do the most damage. Lightning Bolt is a given. Also look at Spark Elemental, Hellspark Elemental, and Lightning Axe. Put some things with Unearth, or Madness as an ability, so you can cast Lightning Axe on the first turn for one mana, and do five damage. Just my take on it.
