It's a creatureless burn life-gain deck

Hi there. I have a ton of suggestions for this deck for you to consider. I don't think that lifegain and burn are necessarily bad together but you need way more good burn cards for this to work. 1st off you are missing some crucial cards. Lightning Bolt and Lightning Helix are must haves. Also I think Elixir of Immortality is a great lifegain card for burn because its cheap and you can keep drawing them and they shuffle your burn spells back into your deck to recast. Since you are creatureless cards like Breaking Point, Volcanic Fallout or Pyroclasm are nice to have. Flame Rift is a great card for dealing massive damage for cheap and your life gain should make the loss of life against you not hurt as much. Some type of dual color lands would also help you a lot. Since you have no creatures Stun will do nothing for you. You should replace it with Gitaxian Probe, needle drop or browbeat or something like that if you need card draw. Boon Reflection cost way to much mana to have 4 of. I would run no more than 2 and honestly would probably just take them out all together. For burn to win you need to be very quick with almost no spells costing more than 4 mana. Landbind Ritual and Lava Axe also are too costly for what they do. Look at cheap and quick burn cards like Chain Lightning, Rift Bolt, Lava Spike, Magma Jet and even Staggershock is a pretty good card since you are running two colors. Since you have white I may be a good plan to put in somethings like Oblivion Ring (good against any card from planeswalkers to creatures to enchantments) or Path to Exile to eliminate big creatures. Hope that helps and good luck with your deck!

Thanks for the advise, I would like to keep the Boon Reflection and landbind ritual, but your suggested cards are a good idea
You're welcome. I do understand having certain cards you just enjoy playing with. So how about you keep a lot of those but you run some mana acceleration such as Rite of Flame or Pyretic Ritual. That should help speed this deck up. Good luck again with the deck.
