Deck Description

This deck is a more serious clone of my Russian Roulette Modern deck

How to Play

Boros Reckoner, Spitemare, and Stuffy Doll are there specifically to be hit with massive damage to redirect to your opponent.

Some fun interactions:

Stuffy Doll + Pariah = all damage you would take instead goes to your indestructible engine of doom. Enchant it with Fatal Attraction as well and your opponent takes 4 on each of your upkeep steps.

Stuffy Doll taps itself for one damage, then gets hit with Crushing Pain for 6 more. Add Furnace of Rath and that's 14 damage to your Doll which translates into 28 damage to your opponent. All for 2 mana!

Blasphemous Act is great once more creatures get on to the board and if it's hard to get it's cost down, a Shivan Meteor or two will do the trick.

Staticaster is good to wipe out weenie creatures (especially against mana ramping creatures like Llanowar Elves) or for targeting your own creatures to redirect damage to the opponent.

Dispel is mainboarded to fight counters and Counterflux is in the SB after some playtesting to deal with creature type counters (I'm looking at you Mystic Snake + Momentary Blink)

For creatureless decks, you could pull out the blasphemous acts and 2 of anything else (depending on what is being run against you) to put in both charms. If Furnace of Rath is out, you could make the Reckoner indestructible w/ lifelink using boros charm then azorius charm, hit him for even just 1 from the staticaster which would then translate into 2 damage. He would target himself and in turn hit for 4, then 8, then 16 etc so you could keep ramping up the damage and your life total infinitely as well and redirect to your opponent for the win!

Deck discussion for Self Destruct Sequence Engaged

Furnace of Rath and Burn at the stake might be difficult to cast because of the heavy red mana required for it, especially, since you are playing a three color deck. Might I suggest Chain Reaction? Skullcrack might be good against some white decks. I also have a stuffy doll deck here. http://www.mtgvault.com/legendxp/decks/get-stuffed/

I actually always have the mana to play Furnace. All of my lands produce red so it's not an issue. Burn at the Stake does tend to have less utility from playtesting though. Chain Reaction seems like a good option.

if you give Boros Reckoner Indestructibility (boros Charm) and Lifelink (Azorius Charm) you have an infinite lifegain loop :)

I was aware of that combo but never thought to try to fit it into the mainboard. I suppose it would be a decent sideboard option though since it has additional utility other than just lifelink.

And now that I think about it, if Furnace of Rath is out, you could make the Reckoner indestructible w/ lifelink, hit him for even just 1 from the staticaster which would then translate into 2 damage. He would target himself and in turn hit for 4, then 8, then 16 etc so you could keep ramping up the damage infinitely as well and redirect to your opponent for the win!
