Deck discussion for Burn!

I'd personally rather see Incinerate here in place of Char. Char is kinda' "meh" if you know what I mean and your return from Incinerate is comparable without the back hand.

In addition to this, you could consider tossing in Slith Firewalker; he's an incredibly inexpensive creature that turns into a monster quite quickly if you adjust your burn philosophy to creature control instead of life total.

Depending on your area, Electrostatic Bolt might be a great option here, and perhaps Spark Spray for cycling in the event you have things undercontrol. Spark Spray on it's own is a pretty worthless card but can be situationally handy. If implemented for the cycling ability, you'll find that it's quite great.

I've got a mono-red burn/LD deck that has been considerably consistent over the years. While not dedicated burn like this, it does exploit the stalling and creature control that burn and LD offer to pump the hell out of the Slith Firewalkers. Again, I know that's not what you're doing here, but take a look at it for some alternate ideas that might help you along.

Hope this helps.

I welcome any comments or criticism you can offer on any of the decks I have posted on the site (just click on my name to see the deck list). Thanks!

I replaced the char's, wanted to include incinerate but forgot to for some reason. Will probably sidebaord some LD so depending on matchup's i can adjust. Any LD cards you would recomend?

As you're mono red, I would avoid any LD over a CC of 3. So, Stone Rain, Molten Rain, and Pillage are all viable options. Pillage gives you flexibility as it can also hit artifacts, Molten Rain deals burn if the land you pop is non-basic (so I guess definitely those two).

I could give you a slew of suggestions, but then that would just be turning into my deck. So start with those, and if you need a visual, here's my red LD/burn link:

It takes some discipline to play as it's not always correct to destroy a land or use burn. It plays great but took some practice to really get the philosophy of the deck down. You'd think with how easy all of the cards are it would be straight forward, but you really need to rely on the Sliths to let it work, which means not burning the life total.
