Deck Description

The main idea is from an idea a couple of my friends had to combo together Burning-Tree Emissary and Hidden Herbalist. This is just that idea surrounded by an aggro shell.

Suggestions are welcome!

How to Play

This is your typical aggro deck, so drop all of your stuff and swing. However, this deck includes a chance at a turn 3 combo. Here's how it goes:

T1- Red Source; Goblin Guide, swing for 2->Vexing Devil, hopefully they take 4, or if not, they take more later->Foundry Street; pass (Opp life: 18/16/20)
T2- Any Land; Pyretic Ritual, Hazoret's monument; swing for 2/4/1; pass (Opp life: 16/16/19 or lower if they fetched)
T3- Fetch land, crack for any land; Play Burning-Tree/Hidden Herbalist, draw a card from Hazoret's, discard anything that ISN'T Burning-Tree, Hidden Herbalist, or Reckless Bushwacker; Repeat until you've cast 4 or 5 Burning/Hidden (or if you're lucky, all 8), then cast Reckless for 1 red from surge;
- (if GG) you now have 5+ 3/2's and a 2/1 on the board with them at 16 life. Swing for 17. Finish with Bolt/Mutagenic if needed.
- (if Vexing) see above^, except it's a 5/3, 4+ 3/2's and a 2/1, swing for 19. Finish with Bolt/Mutagenic if needed.
- (if Foundry) All of the Burning-Tree's and the Reckless trigger foundry. You now have a (6)/1, 4+ 3/2's, and a 2/1, Swing for 20. Finish with Bolt/Mutagenic if needed.
pass
T4- If they're still not dead, either swing in again, cast bolt a ton of times, drop a Chandra, or concede, because if they live that, they're a god.

Deck discussion for Turn 3 Beatdown

I like those "X Turn Win" decks because anyone is calculating best case but you need to calculate worst case. Yes even worst case this deck is fast but not as fast as you described and may go out of breath in late game. No Ritual means no Monument so you wont be able to draw cards in T3. No fetchlands means Hidden Herbalists wont have ANY effect for you so are at the end just a 2/2 fodder. This are too many what-if-nots for me for this deck to work well in modern.

Burning-Tree Emissary is a key card for those fast decks and taking Hidden Herbalists is a good choice but you defnetly need a trigger for them. Wild Cantor could be an option here too but again, what-if; you get (G)(G) but do not have anything on your hand that can feed it? You have your Goyf and Burning-Tree but that are just only 7 cards, 7 out of 60!
