Deck Description

A while ago, I build a craptastic red deck that we used a a sparing deck. Well I got tired if it being crap and eddited it. I would love some feedback on how I can make it better!

I'm not sure if there are too many creatures in this, since its a burn deck.

Edit 5/26/12: Took out both Oxidda Golems for 2 Boggart Ram Gangs.
Edit 5/27/12: Took out Fling for 2 Curse of the Pierced Hearts.

Deck discussion for Need Some Ointment for That BURN?

I'd three up on Koth and Nix chandra, since you're not running a potential gamebreaker with her such as... for example, comet storm. pay for it once, kick it a bunch, then clone it for free.
Yeahhh, this is rather Creature-y for a Burn deck.

You're probably right about the Chandra vs Koth. Also, Don't really count the Vexing Devils as creatures, as most people will let them die since they're a big threat.

Took a look at your deck you have some nice stuff going on.

First off to answer your initial question, can a burn deck have too many creatures? No i don't believe so if they are the RIGHT creatures for the deck. My burn deck is almost fifty percent creatures and have actually seen some "burn" decks with more creature makeup than that. With that said on to some suggestions on how to improve this deck.

1) Ball Lightning for Boggard Ram Gang - Same cost and almost guarenteed to do more damage to your opponent.

2) Hellspark elemental for slith firewalker, once again for the same CC I feel hellspark is gonna give you more bang for the buck and with its unearth ability it should give you some bonus return as well.

3) Take Inferno Titan out. Add more of the spells or creatures you already have. I feel the CC is way to high for this card and with most burn decks you are trying to kill your opponent most times before their is a condition for him to get into play.

4) Rift Bolt instead of Flame Javelin, its the same cost for the spell, but with rift bolts suspend effect you should be able to get them off quicker.

Hope this helps

Wow, you're right about friggin' everything. I kinda like Flame Javelin because it can hit-and usually kill-anything, I'll give the Rift Bolt a Chance since it is faster.

Have you considered Quest for Pure Flame for this stuff?
