Instants (8)

Enchantments (7)

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

The vortex would be against decks with enough lifegain to make it an uphill struggle to deal 20 damage as fast as possible. A batterskull would really ruin our day here if we're losing momentum with our burn spells.

The pillar is in theory for storm decks, to prevent them from comboing off. Most of our spells are under the 3cmc, but in general will be dealing more than 2 damage to the opponent in this case. I haven't tested this card against a storm deck yet, but I will soon and can see how much it helps.

Still testing this deck, I'll update it as I have more experience with it.

Magma Jet is a great card and I think you could consider having it.

I've actually created a description for the deck now, with the answer to this in it.

Browbeat amd Magma Jet need to be here. Burn leaves you with too many empty hands and/or having to rely on top decking. Both will offer you options to either replenish or improve card quality.

Hope these ideas help. Should you get a chance, please take a look at my Mind Over Matter deck ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=145831 ). If that doesn't suit your fancy, please see take a look at one of my ither builds by clicking my name to see the deck list.

I did forget about browbeat, and magma jet was something I considered. I'll try swapping out some card slots to try them, and update soon.

I like the probe deck, I have a shuffling based deck myself :)
