Deck discussion for Pyromancer Ascension

I would drop Jace's Ingenutiy and Ponder for some more burn. I think you definitely got enough card draw here. Also, 4x Wee Dragonauts and 2x Distortion Strike should both be in here, maybe for Volcanic Fallout and See Beyond (You really kinda got too much draw imo).

Wee Dragonauts would be a complete pimp in this Deck, but it ain't Extended-Legal. But you're right about the Jace's Ingenuity, TBH I added it at the last second to have something to Cast at the end of lmy opponents turn in case I didn't have to counter any Spells. And I'll think about the Burn Spells or other things to add later. Happy Holidays! :D

P.S Take a guess at what my next Deck is going to be ;)

Oh, sorry. I never play extended, but I thought Ravinca was still in it?

Ravnica was still in it around 8 months ago as well as a ton of other Blocks, but Extended is only Lorwyn Block - Now, so it is indeed gone.

Also, I already did Metal Red, haha~ I'll give you a hint, it starts with "Aaboy66's 40th"

Merry Christmas to you too fluffstar! And yes, Kiln Fiend is indeed the best Common in Rise of the Eldrazi. No questions asked.

Interesting deck here... Distortion strike would definitely be disastrous to your opponents. an unblockable kiln fiend 2 turns in a row for 1 blue mana?

Oh yes, I was already told of this epic combo and the reason I didn't do it yet is 'cause I'm a lazy ass. Cheers to you Drakedew!

Haha~, Aaboy66 is being lazy! But in all seriousness, the lack of activity is caused by Aaboy66 being on vacation and has crappy Internet. But don't worry, starting 2011, Aaboy66 will have a new laptop and will do all the changes to the Decks. Cheers from Rome!

hey man this is cool as usual !, wee dragonaughts is the right colours and are another kiln fiend !, distortion strike with the fiend is just nuts i love it !, stagger shock is worth considering for the rebound even though 3 for 2 damage dosent seem great with it rebounding and counting as another instant the next go followed up by a lightning bolt with kilnfiend in play its worth it in my book, also 2 damage at the end of there go and 2 at the start of yours a net 4 for 3 is a bit more like it !,
great deck as usual, im working on a red black eldrazi sac called eldrazi machine gun fodder if you can check it over for me please wing man !

Alright, I added Staggershock but only 2 'cause my Mana-Curve is kind of awkward right now, and don't worry, I'll be sure to Comment on your new Deck. Thanks for the comment! :D

ha ha no problem or rush amigo when you can !, and i'm just about to send this one to the front page as you have 49 likes before i post this so well deserved, i think x 2 stagger shocks is proberly wise play test them and see how you feel, your right not to get wrapped up in abilitys and keep attention on the decks playability !, i hope those staggershocks do you proud however ! i do think there a good idea.

Haha~, thanks fluffstar! Anyways, the Staggershocks have been doing pretty well, so I got rid of a Cryptic Command for another one, which helped out my Mana-Curve slightly, but more importantly, I will never have to see 2 Cryptic Commands in an Opening Hand ever again. Thanks for the comment! :D

Happy Holidays, man. Hmm. Where to begin.

Ah: Reverberate. A mini-Ascension, if you will. True, if you have your Pyromancer's Ascension already out, you shouldn't need it, but it will be helpful in cases that you find yourself short. My usual Call to Mind comes to mind as well, in case you're playing a "Oh-my-god-I-gain-X-life" deck. And where's the big guns? No Fireball, or even better, Banefire? Banefire would be BADASS in this deck, man, even if it is just two. Oh, and to stop those annoying healers from going up further, how about a Leyline of Punishment or two? Mean, current, and really pisses you off.

Another neat one, and recently reprinted in Tenth Edition (can't remember if that was before or after Lorwyn, though) is the Furnace of Rath. Just imagine having all of those out in tangent: You play a Lightning Bolt, which does 6 Damage thanks to the Furnace, and is copied thanks to the Ascension. For one mana, you just knocked out over half of your opponent's life, essentially, AND the damage can't be prevented. Holy shit, ouch. And you still have mana to use!

As for creatures, there's only two I could even dare suggest to augment this deck: Fire Servant or Chandra's Spitfire.

Great deck man, like it overall. Enjoy the holidays!

Happy-Late Holidays, Aurael! Reverberate is an absolute PIMP, and I added 4 of those bad boys right away. I mean, even with Pyromancer Ascension out, if it doesn't have all of it's Counters yet, Reverberate can be extremely useful. Also, imagine Reverberate on an opponents Counterspell, say Cryptic Command? Owned. And Banefire is pretty awesome, but it's really only useful in the Late-Game with a full Ascension, so I only added 2. Leyline of Punishment was added to the Sideboard, as well as some other Cards. Tenth Edition ain't in Extended anymore. Fire Servant costs a hell of a lot of Mana (especially in a fast Deck like this) and has the same problem as Chanra's Spitfire, I only have 8 Direct-Damage Spells in this Deck, and my Mana-Curve is already pretty awkward. Thanks for the comment Azrael, and Happy New Year! :D

Good suggestion and I'll definitely look more into it, but the problem with doing that is that it will make my Mana Symbol Occurence look more awkward than it already is. But like I said, I'll think about it.

what hapened to chandra's spitfire ?

Costs a little too much, has less power than Kiln Fiend, and only gets buffed from Direct-Damage Spells against a Player, but it does have flying. I just think Kiln Fiend is better.

Nice I really like this deck, I'm currently running a version of it in Type 2. I like the Pyro's Ascensions, and I'm trying to work those into my deck. One thing I've found while running the Kiln Fiend is you really have to work to get him out. Preordains are really the only draw you have, so I would suggest more. I like running the Owls that scry 3 and see beyonds. Because if you dont draw the fire dog soon, certain death. Also I've found forked bolt does amazing, its great at wiping those terrible 1/1's like birds of paradise and other things. And if all this advice was useless, at least run x4 distortion strikes, those are the game winner no doubt, especially with assault strobe...

Here's my deck if you want to check it out, gj on front page!

Actually, the reason I took out a lot of my Draw Spells is because (mentioned by a fellow partner of mine) I had little ways to kill my opponent off without Kiln Fiend, and this Deck really isn't based on Kiln Fiend at all, he's just there to kick ass and chew bubble gum, so I probably won't be adding any other things to help him out. Augury Owl is fine, but he really doesn't fit in to the Deck, which he may in Standard, but not here in Extended. Forked Bolt could be a very nice addition against Faeries, so I'll find a place to add it in the Sideboard later. Thanks for the comment! :D

maybe add some flings. if you can pump kiln fiend to ten or more and do damage, then you can fling him for that plus 3

Distortion Strike makes Kiln Fiend Unblockable so while Fling may be useful in some situations, my main way to pump up Kiln Fiend is with Distortion Strike.

pop distortion strike, then lightning bolt the player for 3 then fling him after damage. one hit kill combo.

i would add a few assault strobe it makes a nasty combo with distortion strike on kiln fiend.

Like I mentioned, I don't wan't to add any more buffs for the Kiln Fiend, seeing as how it would make this Deck more of a Kiln Fiend Deck, when really it's a Pyromancer Ascension Deck.

To properly utilize the pyromaster's acention, every instant or sorcery card you have should be 4-of, and almost everything should be a instant or sorcery.

Well you sure are nitpicky, 30 Cards in this Deck are Instants/Sorceries, 22 are Lands, 4 are Pyromancer Ascension, and 4 are Kiln Fiend. Im only missing like 6 Cards in this Deck for my Kiln Fiend Combo, besides, I wanted to try out something nobody did before. That too much to ask?

As gay as I think Kiln fiend is... it has potential to be devastating. One Kiln fiend plus the usual distortion strike is swining for 5 unblockable but my friend always plays with black and so he usues Virulent swipe as well making it 10 but the death touch is useless as its unblockable. then on top of that he taps a mountain and plays Assault Strobe, giving hid Kiln bitch double strike. Even if you only use Distortion strike and Assault strobe thats still 16 unblockable on turn three earliest. Not bad. Of course I always just bolt it down or burst lightning it away, but still, it's kinda scary. Again, if you even think about adding black, add virulent swipe and for sure add Assault strobe for double striking Kiln fiendishness.

Like I mentioned for the last like 7 Comments, this isn't a Kiln Fiend Deck, and I won't completely add a new Color or more Cards 'cause this is a Pyromancer Ascension Deck, and since they almost never use Kiln Fiend, I decided to try it out.

Good, but not enough Burn. You seriously just can't rely on 4 Lightning Bolts as your Win-Condition. You just can't.

This looks really nice and alot of fun. Since u only have 4 creatures and he seems to be a big part of the deck maybe u could make room for some cryptoplasms u could take make him another kiln fiend or if ur opponent has a nice crature u can always choose him. sorry thats all i can offer i havent been playing very long just trying to help out ^.^ if u have the time could u maybe check out my blue deck or possibly my G/B deck and see if there are any suggestions u may have? :) thanks!
