Deck Description

Burn them to death while they stand helpless.

4 lightning bolts = 12 life

THINKING ABOUT: Mana Severance + Goblin Charbelcher = insta kill

Deck discussion for Burn Control

Suggestions: Basilisk Collar to turn Gelectrode into handy point removal, Burst Lightning instead of Shock, also USE SEARING BLAZE!!! It's great, especially in a deck like this -- if Pyromancer's Ascension is off, you can kill 2 creatures and deal them 6 damage!

Last thing I can think of, consider replacing something to run Time Warps. With Pyromancer's Ascension that's kind of nuts.

thanks for the info!! ill add them into the sideboard for now and consider what to swap them in for. Love the idea of basilisk collar!!

The time warp doesnt really matter seeing as i can drop burn spells almost every turn while keeping up the pressure by removing/countering all the stronger items. like turn 1, deal 3 damage, turn 2 deal 6, turn 3 deal 3, and control. next turn, deal 3 and 3 (searing blaze), and still control. thats 15 life gone, a creature either dead or just weak, and two things of theirs countered on turn 4. turn 5, i just go all burn and they die.

Why use creatures when they are already dead? You can hold off creatures with counters by stopping them from entering the field, or just get a Chain Reaction from the SB to remove everything. Flame Slash is also used for creature control, and for a weak creature (below 3 toughness) you could leave them be, or use a flame servant if you really wanted to.

Guard gomazoa can be killed by spells. it only prevents COMBAT damage. this deck doesnt deal combat damage.
