Deck Description

My favorite burn deck i ever created..

The main function of this deck is to stop creatures from attacking by burning every card out of your hand doing damage to the player directly.. this deck works well agaisnt control (in my experience of playing it)

Very low cost.. Rite of Flame-x4 practically pays for itself.. every burn-x48 is 1 mana.. Howling mine-x2 and Wheel of fate-x2 are 2 mana.. Ensnaring bridge-x4 is three.. ( Banefire's X ability is used hopefully for the kill.)

Howling Mine and Wheel of Fate provide draw power.. these do not effect Ensnaring bridge significantly. (Deck burns faster than it draws) Threw in some Rite of Flames to get a bit more bang for each of your lands.

Potential of 12 damage first turn with a perfect hand.. (Mountain-x1, Rite of Flame-x2, 3 damage burn-x4(Lightning bolt, Rift bolt, Lava Spike))

Sadly enough Ensnaring Bridge is no longer Extended legal since Magic 2010 and is only Legacy legal.
If anyone can replace Ensnaring Bridge with something similiar and extended legal.. i would be happy =]

Deck discussion for Ensnare Burn

Nice deck only don't use flaring pain!
Noting can prevend a spell unless counterspels.
Sideboard flaring pain and use an other burn spell like tarfire
feel free to rate my deck's (check cloudpost combo)

This deck costs roughly 40 dollars with the banefire's
But you can knock it to 30 by replacing them with a similar card.. It works well agaisnt almost any deck

because its a burn deck. it lacks any sort of creativity or strategy. your basic turns will always go as follows: play land, burn. play land, burn, burn. play land, burn burn. play land, burn burn burn. etc. that is why people dont like it. not trying to insult you but i had to say it since you asked.

Its not a bad deck, i used to run burn.

Heres a few more burn cards: Rift Bolt - suspend and it turns into a lightning bolt just a turn late - Blaze - for all those turns you got to much mana and not much burn - and last Shivan Meteor - no, just kidding, dont use it, its just a fun card to over kill to the 3rd power -
