One of my favorite decks I've made is my burn deck. It's quick and easy. Many burn decks have mana costly cards like Lava Axe. In my opinion 5 damage for 5 mana is not a great deal. Another thing is by the time you've got 5 mountains out 6 7 or even 8 turns may have gone by. With the standards I have of a burn deck 7 turns or more is unacceptable. The average kill time of my deck is 4 or 5 turns or on a good day 3 turns. Another common mistake is having creatures in a burn deck. You need to keep your eye on the prize of killing them not defending yourself. When building a burn deck you want to keep it at 40 cards. The less cards there are the greater the chance you will get what you want.
My Deck
12 Mountains
2 Scent Of Cinder
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Shock
4 Seal Of Fire
3 Incinerate
2 Flame Rift
1 Firebolt
2 Rhystic Lightning
1 Thunderbolt
1 Sizzle
1 Volcanic hammer
1 Fireblast
2 Pyrokinesis
You can kill your opponent in 2 turns by drawing 1st and drawing these 9 cards in this order: Lightning Bolt, Mountain, Scent Of Cinder, Pyrokinesis, Fireblast, Shock, Mountain, Incinerate, Pyrokinesis

My friend thinks that Oubliette will work on Akroma, Angel of Wrath, but I think that the card targets her, which would be illegal. I have checked all rulings on this card. I think the older text on the card is confusing him. Read more

Mr. Hardie apparently asked Mr. Bonnell if he would concede the match before any cards were played, decks shuffled, or dice rolled. The reason, we were told, was because Hardie could mathematically make the Top 8 while Mr. Bonnell could not. Mr. Bonnell stated that he'd rather play... Read more
