A deck description in English would be so helpful -.-
Yeah...Vexing Devils would be really great
Not sure if this really works.In such a deck a Goblin Guide would be much better than an Stromkirk Noble.Hellspark Elemental is a real good card for such a deck.Ball Lightning is the only good creature in this burn deck...Also an Incinerate is better than an Searing Spear.If you have you also can play Chain Lightning or Magma Jet. 3 Damage for 1 Mana or 2 Damage and Scry 2 are more better than a simple shock...you could also play Lava Spike.Mizzium Mortars...I would prefer a Anger of the Gods or a Flamebreak
I know, Purphoros isn't the cheapest card but in combo with a young pyromancer you`ll get with each spell 2 extra damage. Purphoros and young pyromancer on the board: - play Lightning Strike = 3 DamageA 1/1 elemental token comes in play...Purphoros triggers = 2 Damageso you`ll shoot 5 Damage for 1 ManaAns I wouldn`t play chandra...1 Damage for +1 Counter or 3-4 Damage for -2 counters...not the best
Searing Spear is the same as lightning strike...also standardSkullkrack (or Incinerate) ist also the same and much better than searing spear and lightning strike...it prevents lifegain which is really importantMagma jet is better than Shock. Sure, it costs 1 more mana...but with scy 2 you`ll get a big boost for your card qualitiy
I really like the idea of this deck :)But could you say something about the speed...the mana curve is in my opinion a little bit too high.Maybe you could fix some mana problems (don`t know if you have) with some green mana creatures/black spellsLlanowar Elves, Gyre Sage, Karametra's Acolyte for greenDark Ritual or Cabal Ritual for black_____Diabloic Tutor...Maybe i would prefer Sign in Blood. If the opponent is low on life you can give him the restBut in your deck the choice #1 is Altar's Reap...you have to sacrifice a creature to cast so it triggers the effect of SavraYou could try it with 3 Sing in Blood and 3 Altar's Reap in exchange for Jarad`s Orders and Diabolic TutorSome other stuff you could change:Grave Betrayal... 7 cmc is to high without mana elves/ birds of paradise/and so on...Ogre Slumlord... Same as Grave Betrayal in my opinion. change the 3 for 1 Savra, 1 Varolz and 1 Vraska or Dreg ManglerDeath's Presence... reduce it to 2 and add 2 Corpsejack MenaceSlitherhed... a good blocker and much cheaper than Liliana's Reaper. My choice for a first turn dropDeadly Recluse... maybe sideboard against flying. -2 Deadly Recluse +2Sedge ScorpionI don't know if you try it with this hints but i'm really interested in you experience if you use some of this :)
You also can look at my burn deck. There you`ll see the most of these cards :Dhttp://www.mtgvault.com/meiyouan/decks/red-dead/The biggest difference between our decks...if the opponent puts a white Leyline out i can't win. You can do it with your creatures but i lose definately the game. sure you can put some enchantment removal in the sideboard...but in my magic group nobody plays this stuff so it's not important for me to play with sideboard^^If you play without creatures...think about things like Duergar Hedge-Magea 2/2 creature who kills a enchantment AND a artifact for 3 mana...
I don`t like the imagination of a burn deck with so much creatures. In my opinion you should kill him with your sorcery and instants spells...this is the funniest way, I think.But if you want to play with creatures:Young Pyromancer will spent you much token for each spell you cast.Goblin Guide is also a good way, Lightning Elemental (i think all elementals will be good in a burn with creatures)Also you could play things like to raise the speed of your creatures and pump them up:Messenger's SpeedTitan's StrengthOrdeal of PurphorosYou could also take the way with Elemental creatures only...they will stay on board just for one turn and so you could play mass removal like Anger of the Gods, Flamebreak or PyroclasmSo you can clean the board and then drop the elementals for an attackHellspark ElementalLightning Elemental (not sure if you should play this...4 mana to hit your opponent with 4 damage. there are much better cards in red burn decks)Rift Elemental - 3/1 if you remove a time counter from a Rift Bold...cool way to shot 6 damage with creature and spellRockslide Elemental - Your Elementals will die definetaly...why you shouldn't use this with this card?War Elemental - I think you should think about this card, even if you play without the rest of the creatures.Other instant/sorcery you should think about:Magma Jet (!!!!!) - for me one of the best cards in a burn deck. 2cmc and 2 damage + Scry 2Skullcrack - same as IncinerateFlames of the Blood Hand - if you play incinerate (and/or skullcrack) why not these?Fireblast - in my burn deck this is one card to finish the game. shoot some spells and sacrifice 2 tapped mountains for 4 extra damage. i kill so much opponents with this cardChain Lightning - Surely the opponent could cast this card too...but not in round 1 and only if he plays red :DLava Spike - As a burn Player you're not interested in killing the opponents creatures and for 1 mana this will shoot 3 damage directlyRift Bold - With Suspend 3 damage for 1 ManaBrowbeat - In a burn you will fast go to Top Deck play...i never say a player who takes the 5 damage so this is a great 3 card draw for 3 manaStuff you also can play:Cursed Scroll - if you're reaching the top deck mode you can shoot him 2 damage each turn with this cardBarbarian Ring - with Threshold a cool Shock But I think you're deck could be really funny. Want to try it :D
