Battle and Burn - Standard

by Evinum on 22 February 2013

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (27 cards)

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

In general, this is a low manacost White/Red Deck. Damage your enemies with both creatures and burn cards.
Honor of the Pure is not in standard and can be replaced by any combination of: Assemle the Legion - Odric, Master Tactician - Firemane Avenger - Blind Obedience

This deck utilizes the following mechanics/synergies...

Battalion Mechanic on Boros and Firemane Avenger (and Odric, Master Tactitian if added)

Champion of the Parish: 14/20 of creatures are Humans, as well as Gather the Townsfolk token creatures.

Bonding Silverblade Paladin with Spark Trooper. (And can bond again in the following turns, since Spark Trooper is sacrificed in the end step)

Honor of the Pure: All creatures are white as well as Gather the Townsfolk and Assemble the Legion tokens.

Early Game protection through Boros charm.

Early game burn with Boros charm / Searing Spear / Pillar of Flame, and late game burn through Aurelia's Fury. Early game burning can also help you if you had a bad starting hand.

Honor of the Pure (and Assemble the Legion) can be protected with Boros Charm.

Sideboard (ADDITIONS NEEDED): Apart from Odric, Master Tactician, Firemane Avenger which have to be used in order to play this deck in standard.

Ash Zealot VS Flashback
Purify the Grave VS Flashback/regeneration and other stuff in crypts.
Oblivion Ring to exile phat stuff.
Bonds of Faith VS non human decks, can also be used as a good cheap steroid.
Skullcrack (replacing and combination of Searing Spear/Pilar of Flame) VS Heals and prevents.

I chose Gideon, Champion of Justice for a plainswalker, if added.

You could try running nevermore in your sideboard instead and simply disallow them from casting it in the first place, and also boros reckoner is one of the best 3 drops in the set, though quite expensive, and helps with the actual burn as well

Thanks for the tips. Peace!
Edit: That would help the burn part, but still its not human, and not batallion. Ill give it a try and let you know. Thanks again.
I guess the "instead" in the nevermore card part, goes for a replacement to oblivion ring.
