by freshswimmerboy on 25 January 2018

Main Deck (60 cards)

Sideboard (15 cards)

Creatures (3)


Instants (4)


Planeswalkers (1)


Land (2)

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

This is an idea of B/R burn in modern. I have a Mono Red, burn that works really well. but i want to try and mix it up a bit. Angrath seems like a really good rakdos planeswalker and I am hoping he has some staying power.

I also want to try and utilize energy for burn. however that is something i am not really committed to and willing to trade my energy cards out for better cards, that are more consistent with B/R Burn.

How to Play

Turn 1: Get either Fanatical Firebrand or Gonti's Machinations to start getting our energy out, and make it less appealing to have our opponent attack us.

Turn 2: Hopefully get down Earthshaker, to start pressuring out opponents life total. If all else fails kari-zev can get a lot of work done. both cards push on the life total.
If you dont have either of our aggro cards, Glint-Sleeve can generate great card draw, which is something we will need as the deck plays low to the ground, and we pump out a lot of spells.

Turn 3: Hold of playing aethertorch renegade, as that card we only want to play when we can turn it sideways and deal 6 to our opponent. instead i would try and play the harvester, and continue to put pressure on the life total, with hard to block creatures.

Turn 4: CHANDRA!!!!!!!!!! or maybe aethertorch depending how your game is going.

Turn 5: Angrath, or aethor torch if you can afford it.

Plenty of removal spells in both main board and side board.
in my FNM group they are going kind of heavy into token strategy, so i put 3 bontus reckoning, to help combat the local meta.

This is a work in progress and I would love to get advice or recommendations. Especially if i should stick with the energy theme for this deck or not.

Would blood Sun be worth playing in this? even as a side board?
