I haven't messed with my Burn deck in a while, but I definitely would like to try Skewer and Light up the Stage before I run it again. My newest pet deck is Pyro Prison, which combines two of my favorite cards (Blood Moon and Ensnaring Bridge) with Goblins. And jank.

On the one hand I'm glad they banned an actual problem card instead of trying to wound a problematic deck, but on the other hand they could have banned Scrap Trawler and probably accomplished the same thing.

Ironworks could theoretically produce a hilarious deck at a later date (I'm thinking of the one that was around during Mirrodin era Type 2, for example) while the terrible creatures in that deck will never ever do that.

At my Ravnica Allegiance prerelease my first round opponent was a pleasant person but they were coming back to the game from Arabian Nights (!!!) and it was a pretty brutal match for them. When they reported the result to the owner / employee they were kind of exasperated and the owner / employee said, "Don't worry about it, [Karakand] is a really good player." Even though I know that's not true and it was meant to cheer my opponent up it was still nice to hear.

It's a lazy mechanic (like too many of the mechanics in Guilds and Allegiance) but it's reasonably supported in limited which is more than you can say about Undergrowth, or to a lesser extent Convoke which really coasted on 2 extremely powerful cards with the mechanic.

Love to see the premier normie plane get R&D's top creativity.

Also SHARKTOCRAB.

All that matters is that 2-3 years after saying that Lightning Strike was too powerful for Standard, they’ve accidentally printed Lightning Bolt again in the same Standand as Shock and Lightning Strike. Pyromancers rise up!

Off-hand, I would cut at least 2 of those Dead Revels and play Light up the Stage and Clear the Stage. I would also cut the Deface, and add the Plague Wight. Replace a Gravel-Hide Goblin with Priest of Forgotten Gods.

Well, did my jack shit. Played against two opponents that had bombs within 3 turns while I had jackshit going on in terms of either flood or manascrew.

Resigned instead of facing a third loss, because seriously: Fuck that.

At least the Pre-release code this outing was draft, so that'll be a bit more "fun" because I can actually choose and bait the AI over "this is what you get, tough shit" in terms of RNG booster bullshit.

I like the idea of running it in Rakdos Burn with Bump in the Night as Lava Spike 5-8. I hate cutting Eidolons, but Skullcrack, Lightning Helix, and even Boros Charm can get cut. Then you could probably drop down to 18 lands.

seen some lists dropping rift bolt. not a fan, but it is a nonbo with luts. eidolon and boros charm would be the last 2cmc cards to cut, though i could see moving some eidolon to the side depending on the expected meta... so it's gonna be a white splash for me

Fortunately the white splash basically costs nothing. You just run 2 Blood Crypts and a Sacred Foundry instead of 2 Sacred Foundries and a Stomping Ground.

played a stock boros list for the first time the other night and went 3-1. should've won against the resident GP grinder on gds but i prematurely pulled the trigger on a deflecting palm as i had 2 lands and lethal on the crack back but played straight into a stubb  :(. i really liked having 3 mountains. 1-3 points of damage made the difference in 3 of the 4 matches i played though skewer bump lists have a faster clock, so im banking on that making up for taking more damage. got my stages and skewers ready for next week!

I may be misquoting here, but iirc Mark has said the following: 1. designing Red commons is very hard and 2. because of 1., they usually work on Red's commons early in a set, so that means that not only did Skewer the Critics get looked at several times, it got looked at several times over the life of the set's development. :lol

RE dropping Rift Bolt: The card plays very well with Skullcrack so if you're going to move Skullcrack to the sideboard and / or drop it altogether I can see why you'd experiment with dropping Rift Bolt too. I'd rather cut Lightning Helix instead, but I'm also not an expert on Modern Burn.

The early consensus on the tiers is something like: Orzhov, Rakdos, Azorius, Gruul, Simic but that's drafting against hue-mans.

The one round I played against Gruul with that deck was bad but they drew and played Ravager Wurm twice. Glad this is a prince format!

I've considered it and should test. Going to give a mates standard rdw a jam at this weekends ULTIMATE STANDARD(? something like this) tournament. RDW feat Chainwhirler definitely been outperforming non-Chainwhirler lists so far. I assume people have been testing with and deciding against Guttersnipe, but i haven't tried it myself. Chainwhirler is pretty great in the mirror, but is underwhelming otherwise.

I’ve been having a lot of fun drafting (mostly) Orzhov on Arena. The bots value Orzhov really highly, so it’s not uncommon to see packs totally tapped out by the 5th or 6th pick, but what can I say, I’m a simple man. I see removal and I take it. The one-two punch of Mortify and Final Payment is really strong. Afterlife does make removal a little worse than usual, but white has a lot of bubble butt fliers to deal with the rabble.

I did manage to draft a really good Simic Gates deck once, with a lot of the good payoff cards. Speaking of which, I’ll almost always play Gate Colossus, and Gatecrasher Ram is worth splashing for in most decks.

Wizards printed a critical mass of playable burn spells and a card that almost just reads “R - Draw two cards” AND nobody’s even complaining that red is too powerful so Wizards needs to ban a bunch of cards and/or make Red suck for next two years to fix it. Truly we are #blessed.

Two weeks ago I drafted a really fun Simic deck (on two separate occasions my opponent said, "Gross!" in frustration when I did nonsense with +1/+1 counters) that could maybe have won FNM but I dropped a match and ended up in third place. Then I got caught in a downpour walking home and ended up catching pneumonia.

Anyway, this week at FNM I drafted a disgusting Orzhov aggro deck and cruised to a convincing first place. 8)

My favorite match was against a do nothing Azorius deck that just drew a bunch of cards. Drew into Orzhov Racketeers and shredded that beautiful hand. My least favorite was the one where I had to cast Mortify on a Coral Commando to sneak in 6 damage. :yuck

Liking this set a lot more than Guilds of Ravnica, and not just because it's full of fun enchantments. :bolo

yeah I figure it'll still be good if it deals 4 gains 7 or something (and gets them in the range of a lethal Risk Factor). This deck previously was the rakdos 8 browbeat list but I found I was always dying to an alpha strike when I had lethal burn the next turn and so on. Adding more critters (chainwhirler pulls weight on the field) into the mix with good targets for Revival seems good

Unranked, but still. I haven't played Standard in a minute and I wanted a paper deck for under $20 to fart around with at FNM.

In all honesty I should be just sleeving up this weapon :lol I have all the cards so why not lol

is 4 guttersnipe and 2 risk factor a concession to not having the rares?

It is supposed to be a budget deck, but it's uses those cards by design (whether it's a good design is debatable). I just wanted a deck that's built all-in around burning my opponent's face. There are times when you play a T3 Guttersnipe and it immediately gets Cast Down or Shock'd and that's pretty bad, but if you can untap with one on T4, it's possible to close out the game on the spot.

went 2-1 at FNM with my Mardu pile, definitely needs tuning and the sideboard needs to be able to handle the bad matchups but the deck is damn fun.

Turns out Aurelia is very very good out of a burn sideboard as peeps aren't expecting an ass of that size. She protec, and she attac
