Deck Description

The object of this deck is to use token spells and cheap creatures to get 4-6 creatures onto the battlefield, then cast Burn At The Stake. With six creatures on the battlefield(which is very reasonable to get), BatS will be 18 damage on a 5-mana spell. BatS resolving with average board presence pretty much wins the game. I also have Intangible Virtue to pump my tokens, and Hellrider to create huge damage on my attacks, so I can still win very effectively if I don't draw it.

This deck is the Boros deck of my set of decks I'm planning as a place to start when GTC comes out. I really can't believe how underrated Burn at the Stake is. With 2 creatures, it's better than lava axe, but with 4+ its an incredibly powerful burn finisher for any creature deck.

Deck discussion for Lynch Mob

Burn at the Stake is hardly underrated, many are willing to acknowledge it's strenght - so ask yourself -why- they are not playing it? I don't actually know the answer to this question myself, unfortunately. Other than that, it's interesting, and it's tokens, and it's W/R, so I guess I like it.

That's my point by underrated, people who have played against it in decks like this will agree that it's really powerful, but it's not played

I like Red/White decks that work, but I feel that this deck could be more functional if it were mono red. Burn at the Stake is a pretty cool card.

Making it mono-red would definitely weaken this deck. For one, this deck doesn't have mana issues that would make it nee to be mono red, and two, playing just red would change the deck. This is a tokens deck with the ability to finish off the game with a single Burn at Stake. Dropping white would reduce the token makers to two(Krenko's+could add Rally), and would lose Intangible Virtue. Virtue is especially important here cause it can allow my tokens to attack and still tap for Stake in second main. Am actually thinking about making a Naya form of this once GTC comes out. I would add Wild Beastmaster, maybe Stonewright(great combo together) and hopefully an Overrun- type affect (GTC has both Gruul and Boris, one should have some kind of decent army pump). Also might get some better burn and token makers
