Deck Description

Typical red burn deck. I began with no creatures in here. I just hit hard and fast. But think I stumbled onto the raptors and they just tore through my friends. So I began looking for other creatures that could help me. I really liked the Keldon Champion because its just 6 dmg out of no where for only 4 mana. However I had to cut them down to 2 when I found the fire servant and war elemental

I have some of those. I guess I never really thought about them. I guess its because when I was looking for creatures that had haste. I didn't want to wait around a turn waiting for summoning sickness. I guess he could get really mean really quick though. I'll try him out. thanks

Well, if you want creatures with haste, check out my lightning rod deck: http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=136919

Might give you some card ideas that might be very useful.
Nice deck man, Keldon champion is one of my favourites, nice to see some people still use him in decks

OK guys. I have revamped the deck some more. I took the suggestion of the kiln fiends. Plus I added some land fetching for thinning purposes along with otherwise. Please add comments or suggestions. Thanks

I like the changes you made, very efficient burning you have going on, and I like that your using quick mana to bring the burn cards out more :D

2 things. First, I really do not like echo costs, along with the regular cost it can really highten the cost of certain creatures. If you pay the echo cost next turn it limits what else you can play, it's like summoning the same creature twice. Second, What is the point of Arid Masa? It is just taking up space where you could put mountains instead. If you want to get land like that add terramorphic expanse instead, but even then I think you might as well add more mountains instead.

hello there =) well i have looked over your deck. I believe that you don't need shivan raptors, flaming salvo, shunt, elemental appeal,fireball... cuz you can add 2 more kiln fiends, and maybe 4 chandra spitfire? since you have so many spells. And i dont think you need that mana mountains. This is a mono colored deck. and maybe you should add in rite of flames? you have several high costing stuff and i think you need some mana help. and remember consistency ! well that's my motto.. well i try xD

ok the arid masa is in there for deck thinning. With all my burn cards, after about turn 3 or 4 I have no more cards in my hand. Plus I only really need 5 to play any card in my deck. Now at that time do you want to draw a mountain? or another burn spell? The answer is burn spell. The lands are in there to thin out my lands. So after I get esablished with my lands, I don't keep drawing lands. I draw stuff I really need. I have won and lost games against my friend's burn deck because of 1 turn. And it is usually who draws the next burn card first. With this he is more likely to draw a land, and i'm more likely to draw a spell and win the game. Other cards can do this I realize, but they make the land enter tapped which slows me down. Trust me, the 1 life is worth the 1 mana.

I will admit I have the meteor showers in there and can go off with big damage if I have a lot of mana. The main reason they are there is because my frien'd burn deck contains mana flare. So my 5 mana would become 10, plus with fire servant, I can do 20 damage with that card with 5 lands out.

Now for the echos. I have to say I'm not a fan of it myself. But these cards would be too badass if they didn't have echo. The champions are there for the 6 damage for 4 mana. On the next turn I usually don't pay their echo. But the raptors on the otherhand. They have first strike. With 2 of them on the field. I can block and kill anything with 6 toughness. Can take down some bigger monsters too with the help of a burn spell or 2. Therefore, depending on the situation, I may or may not pay their echos. If I know I don't have any more burn cards in my hand, I will pay the cost just to ensure I can do damage on the next turn. I can say its echo cost is annoying, but I make it work, and it works well in this deck.

ok so after all that defending I did with my echo creatures, I took them out. lol. To Be honest my deck was just a little outdated. I simpley had some cards in there because it was all I add. Well I bit the bullet and bought some cards. Using some of LightningRing's cards I have redone my creature selection. I am still a little scared of not having any blockers if I need them other than fire servant.

But the way the deck is working now, they should die before I that fear is realized. I still have the stunts and raptors in my sideboard for when I face my friend's burn deck. And don't worry about the spitefires and kilns, I already have another deck in mind for them. :D

Thanks for the feedback guys. Let me know what you think of the changes.

I am glad to have been an inspiration for your creature choice, most red decks dont care about defence, the best defence is to kill those creatures, rather than use the burn cards to do pure damage.

This deck now looks really fun, if ever there is a two-headed giant competition for legacy, we should join forces :P
