No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.

Hi realmwizard,

Don't play Silence, Seething Song, Terminate, or Path to Exile, as suggested in the comments above. The ultimate focus of any Burn deck is to rid your opponent's life as fast as you can. Every single in your deck should be either Burn or Land. You can think of this as the "philosophy" of powerful Burn decks. And you can trust me - I've lost to a lot of Burn players.

Lightning Bolt is a powerful choice, as you already have in your deck. However, spells like Figure of Destiny and Ajani Vengeant - despite their effectiveness in other decks - are not fast enough for Burn.
You want to run four copies of Lava Spike, Chain Lightning, Lava Rift, and Rift Bolt in your deck. Period. Although Lava Spike is generally frowned upon as a "weak" Burn card, remember that the only target of your spells should be your opponent. And Lava Rift might seem like an odd choice, but the ability to deal four damage for two mana is absolutely ridiculous. Keep in mind that although you take equal amounts of damage from Rift, you will almost ALWAYS decrease your opponent's life total to zero faster than he / she will. It's a bit like starting the game with both players at 16 instead of 20.

The ultimate and most underrated weapon to any Burn deck is Fireblast. You have no idea how many times I have sat at four or three life, thinking that I was safe because all of my opponent's lands were tapped out, and then being ambushed by a free four-damage burn spell. These cards should be the staples of your "Burn Quickly" deck. You can find more information about Burn here:

I learned about the speed and strategies of Burn the hard way - you have no idea how many times I have lost on the third or fourth turn to good Burn decks. Hope these suggestions help!

Druler is absolutely right. The only cards that CAN be off color are metagame techs. If your playgroup runs a lot of creature-based aggro decks, Fallout or Flamebreak may be worth the slot in your deck. Price of Progress is also particularly powerful in the Legacy format. Keep in mind that these spells deal damage to players as well as creatures - you don't want to wander too far off from the basic principles of Burn.

put in quite a bit of Shocks, they are the bread and butter of the burn deck feast, also get cards like pyroclasm, seismic strike, fireball, resounding thunder, branching bolt (reqs green mana...), jund battle mage, lava axe, frostwielder, and pain kami. also more mountains so you can play more heavy-hittting spells at once. you might also want something like lightning elemental or wall of fire to keep ur life up.

please check out my jund/burn (fires of jund) and comment
Thanks! +1
