Deck Description

Today we will be focusing on standard burn spells. This is going to be a long list. Also, I will be grading each burn spell.

How to Play

Heat Ray: BAD. Just bad. D-

Bring Low: Good against Abzan, but nobody plays Outlast decks anymore. Sad for Bring Low. D

Blastfire Bolt: 6 Mana? Nobody uses Equipment anyway in Standard. D+

Starfall: Not so good but good for killing Archetypes. D+

Lava Axe: Meh, not as good as Stoke the Flames. C-

Boulderfall: Division is good, but too much mana for that. C

Spark Jolt: For scrying, it's okay. C

Arrow Storm: Pretty bad. Raid is 5 mana for 5 damage. C

Rage of Purphoros: Scry helpful, 5 mana for 4 dmg to creatures only?? C+

Barrage of Boulders: Counts as burn, still good. B-

Bolt of Keranos: Again, scry helpful, but not enough. B-

Burn Away: Really good against Sultai players. B

Searing Blood: Okay, not as good as Stoke though. B

Lightning Strike: Good for Theros. B

Peak Eruption: Good in sideboard against red decks. B

Shrapnel Blast: Good in artifact decks. B+

Magma Spray: Better than Shock. B+

Anger of the Gods: Good in control. B+

Crater's Claws: Good for taking out big guys. Still not that good though. A-

Arc Lightning: Really good for division purposes. A-

Cone of Flame: I should've graded it lower, but its just really good. A

Riddle of Lightning: SUPER AWESOME. My personal pick. A

Magma Jet: 2 for 2 scry 2? Epic. A

Fated Conflagration: Take out nissa? Garruk? Elspeth? Or pretty much any creature? Scry 2? Awesome for pretty much anything. A+

STOKE THE FLAMES: BEST BURN SPELL THAT EXISTS. A+++++++++++++++ FOR YOU, STOKE U ARE AWESOME.

I usually run Lava Axe in all of my red decks. But I almost never get to play it. I didn't know about Stoke the Flames though. So, I think I'll give that a shot.

By the way didn't realize how useless Lava Axe is until this post.
