Deck Description

A decked out fire and lightning deck. All I did was max out the best cards, except not the expensive ones.

Deck discussion for The Power of Lightning

Ok.. help me understand. What is the deal with Jackal Pup, and what is the appeal of Barbarian Ring?

Jackal pup is actually a very strong one drop. It starts hitting turn two and will probably be left unblocked for another two, so thats six damage for probably only two or three that you will take from it being killed. Barbarian ring has helped me in the past. Holding a fireblast in hand with a mountain and ring untapped can surprise your opponent out of nowhere. It has next to no appeal in the early game, but in an aggro deck you don't really care about your life total. Maybe I should switch it out for another teetering peaks? Thanks for the feedback. After more playtesting maybe I'll switch it out.

Those were honest questions, by the way. I wasn't trying to sound like a smartass. :) I've seen the Jackal Pups in a few decks and just couldn't figure out why they'd be used over other available cards.

Your explanation makes sense, and I appreciate it. Thank you!
