Deck Description

Ever wonder how much fun it would be to play a deck with ALL lightning bolts? Enjoy whacking your opponents for 17 life on turn two? Well boy do i got the burn deck for you!!!

For spells, to begin with you have the one, the only, the original - lightning bolt. Then we throw in more lighting bolts a la black (aka bump in the night). Moving up the mana curve we have incinerates, bolts's slightly more costly cousin. Next up is the souped up red/black bolt - blightning. To round out our bolt spells, the little bit lighter but sometimes more effective, forked bolt. For a mana boost to speed things along we threw in a few dark rituals.

For creatures we continue our stratonimbus theme! Vexing Devils, are probably as good, if not better than lighting bolts. Spark elementals are living incarnation of the lighting bolts - especially in earlier rounds. Hell spark elementals are, well, spark elementals you can play twice! The Dark Confindants, like your howling mines, should get you some access to your destruction cards quicker, as in two to three a turn more! Finally, the Simian Spirit Guide can not only let you get off bolts quicker in the earlier rounds via a mana boost via sacrificing; or they can be played as a creature for a finishing blow around turn three or four.

(This Deck is Legacy Legal)
Always interested in hearing feedback on ideas on how i can improve the deck!

Deck discussion for Lightning DOES Strike Twice!!! - Dude's 3rd Path to Pain

I like it! Super fast burn is so much fun to play. I recently started up again and I am re-working a Legacy combo deck with some of the newest cards. It still needs work but in tests it does 40 damage on turn 2 maybe 65-75% of the time.
