Controlburn deck

by luckyc2 on 18 March 2012

Main Deck (80 cards)

Sideboard (0 cards)

No sideboard found.

The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

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 purpose of this deck is to deal direct damage while controling the board. It's also almost creatureless.

I made this deck a few years ago and just decided to update it and make it better. Though I set it as a blue/red deck, it has a hint of white for controling attacking creatures. So far, it's worked out fine, but I still want to make it better. It still has the Counterspells I originally used, but, since it's basically an illegal card I'm searching for something to put in it's place.

All suggestions are very much welcome! :D

Deck discussion for Controlburn deck

Might I recomend pyromancer's ascentions. Will let you double spells cast.

Thanks for the advice! It might be very useful, considering that the Isochron Scepter allows me to play an instant or sorcery many times... :D It could speed things up.

I've also been thinking about adding another Isochron and changing the Counterspells for Counterbore or Psychic Barrier (considering most decks have creatures). Might also change the Cryptic Command for Declaration of naught, and the Ponders for Spell Contortion.

What do you think?

Also thinking about adding 2 Blasphemous Acts, to have a little bit more of creature control

If the white splash is only for Ghostly Prison, then just swap it for Propaganda, it's the same card in blue.
And don't take out ponder, you need a blue spell like it in you deck, if not ponder try Preordain, Brainstorm, or Impulse.
oh and add Fire/Ice, it's a must with isochron scepter.
Looks like a good deck, I'm love playing u/r check out mine.

also swap cancel for dissipate, rune snag, remand, or arcane denial.
Arcane denial w/ pyromancer ascension is very good, cast a spell and copy, then counter both of your spells with arcane denial and its copy, You draw 6 cards next upkeep, it's a trick I've done many times to load my hand with burn spells for the kill.
