Deck Description

If you wish all your options to sling out some sweet damage, then burn is just your thing!

I mostly use MTG Vault for my own private projects nowadays, but feel free to comment or request a deck of your choice. I've loved the Vault so far, and I like that they are still improving on it, as well as I am improving on my English language skills.

So, if you like what you see, consider checking out some of my other budget-y work from the link below.

How to Play

Whatever you do, keep up the steady flow of damage! Your opponents are sure to fall, provided you can keep up the pressure!

To play this deck, a player should know the basic rulings of Magic: The Gathering. In addition, this deck includes some useful keywords and abilities, which are listed below:
- Flying. As present in Firewing Phoenix, creatures with flying cannot be blocked by other creatures without flying and reach, meaning they are often efficient attackers! They can still block enemy creatures without flying, unless otherwise specified.
- Discard. If an effect tells you to discard a card, do so from the cards provided in your hand. If the effect requires you to discard a card as a cost, you cannot use the effect unless you have cards available. This deck includes Thrill of Possibility, which allows you to switch a card (and the Thrill itself) to two other cards!

This very simple deck provides its player a plethora of options to cause damage to either enemy creatures or the player themselves. Creatures such as Goblin Arsonist, Ember Hauler, and Viashino Pyromancer can all be used to both provide presence on the battlefield as well as cause damage when needed. As the game goes on, bigger cards such as Firewing Phoenix, Sulfuric Vortex, Inescapable Blaze, and Warstorm Surge can be utilized to close in the game.

Usually the sideboard is provided as a base to swap in some cards between matches against alternative opponents, but this time it contains some useful cards that can be used to develop this deck further. Guttersnipe and Dragon Fodder can be used to transform the deck towards more of a spellslinger-type deck. Pashalik Mons and Dragon Fodder can focus on goblin tribal theme and sacrifice utility. Conspiracy Theorist and Dismissive Pyromancer can even transform this deck towards more of a discard-oriented playstyle. Find out which you like the most!
