The deck is well-rounded. But the potential combo makes it special

Thanks. I love sneaky combos. I reduced the number of the combo cards just to ensure the consistency of the deck though.

He he... *sneeeaky...*
Have you thought about "Reverberate" or "Fork" for multiplayer games? Or does that contradict with mogg maniac's "target opponent"?

I'm not sure about Fork / Reverberate. I think the cards are well balanced already. Nice feed of idea Blackfire Phoenix ^^

You're right. The deck is both well thought-off and balanced - like I said on your "5 Color Infect": One golden egg after the other.
Thanks :)

I really love the combo, and even without the combo, the whole deck is still good to go. Kudos for you.

The combo pieces is reduced just to remain its versatility. Mogg Maniac is still a very good blocker. Esp. against stompy decks. Fire covenant could be a good creature destruction.

You must be hyperventilating on those times you draw the combo pieces together. Really cool deck.

Yes, the concept combo could also be used in a more goblin based deck. I just decided to splash burn for more direct damage. Thanks for the idea demonking28!

That's fine ^^,. The combo actually is just a secondary winning condition. Even without it, the deck runs stable and smoothly. Thanks~

Haha that really is a sneaky combo but that's an awesome set up you have here I really like this deck! The Vexing Devils are a really nice piece to the deck too! Bravo

Great idea you've got here mate. It's easy yet really powerful, plus the other burn cards make it quite stand alone.
As for most burn decks, may I suggest you Wheel of Fortune and Final Fortune, the first being an utility card and the second a great finisher.
Also you could add Gamble if you would like it more focused on the combo, to fetch the pieces (or any other card you may need for all that matters).

And if you've got some time to spare, I would really like you to check these two boys.

Gamble is really good to pull out the combo. I'll playtest those sometime. Thanks for the input Razka!

Will playtest that. But that would make it less well-rounded and solid. Costs High too. Thanks PhyziillaThrilla!

really cool deck :) i actually have nothing to add... just admiring you decks hitting the front page very often 8) just one question: do you really need the snow-covered lands? coz i think its making the deck value high XD would really like to know how much this deck can really cost.

You can just put in 8 Mountain, 8 Swamp, and 4 Terramorphic expanse instead. Remove Vexing Devils too and change it with more Spark Elementals, or Rotting Rats, or more burn spells, or maybe focus more on the combo itself. The deck without them really cost cheap. You should try building it and experience the fun. Thanks~
