Deck discussion for Burned to Death

Not a bad deck, dude! I like it because it features some really cool cards like Hidetsugu's Second Rite. Definitely a cool casual budget option. I'm sure that with some help you could fix into a really competitive deck.

You people and your Isochron Scepters! Haha not bad, it would definitely hold out against my decks that don't have much to prevent burn.

I'm going to evaluate this card by card.

Isochron Scepter - Meh in this deck. If you truly want to keep it run 2-3 of.

Galvanic Blast - Weak burn spell unless you utilize the metalcraft ability which you have failed to do. Wouldn't run it.

Guerrilla Tactics - Like Galvanic Blast, it's just too situational and your not going to be able to get the extra ability off. Just a medicore burn card.

Hidetsugu's Second Rite - This is meant for a deck that uses burn cards that you can control how much damage you deal to them to ensure you can get them at exactly 10 life. Too situational for this deck.

Incinerate - Just another mediocre burn spell. Meh

Lightning Bolt - Best burn card ever printed. Always run 4.

Lightning Strike - Meh

Magma Jet - Okay card if you just desperately need to scry.

Shock - Meh

Lava Axe - Bad card. Too slow and sorcery speed makes it just awful.

I would do as the guy at Tom's said and transform it into Boros burn. With this you gain Boros Charm, so much damage for a 2 drop, Lightning Helix - Survivability with a Lightning Bolt attached. and all the SB options white has. Personally, I think it has the best SB options for modern out of all the colors. Oh yeah, Path to Exile exists.

Other than that, Vexing Devil, Lava Spike, Eidolon of the Great Revel, Skullcrack, Shard Volley (don't run 4), and Rift Bolt are all powerful cards to consider here. Some almost strictly better. Skullcrack vs Lightning Strike for example.

EDIT: By god man, you only need like 20-22 lands. Knock those down and get to 60 cards before I hit ya.

Guttersnipe is a tad bit too slow. Consider Grim Lavamancer if anything. Or maybe even Goblin Guide. Mizzium Mortars is also way too slow. Drop it for something else. Maybe the last 2 Warleader's Helix. Btw, this is starting to look much better. I can tell you looked for these cards, are you actually planning to buy it though?

I helped him quite a bit. :) He's interested in buying it, but with all of the additions it has gone way past his budget lol.

Well think of it this way. Why would you buy the crap cards and harm your budget when you could just save for the good cards in the first place? Better that way.
