Maybeboard


Instants and Sorceries to keep the board state singed and burned, while gaining life.

Ideally the commander, Firesong and Sunspeaker, can be put out as soon as possible. However, there's not much ramp available so the goal of the deck will be to monitor the board state until the mana naturally develops.

This will be primarily done with soft boardwipes like Pyroclasm, Cinderclasm, and Inflame. Most creatures won't break a sweat to one of these spells, but these will be great to burn down mana creatures like Myr and Elves, and deal with tokens like Zombies and Spirits.

In order to discourage on-death effects, I've thrown in cards like Anger of the Gods, Underworld Fires, and Yamabushi's Storm to exile creatures, burning them to a crisp.

Some creatures that will enjoy getting burned include Boros Reckoner, Spitemare, and Truefire Captain. (it's also possible to get infinite combos with some of these creatures, but hopefully that will not happen often)

The real power will come after Firesong and Sunspeaker are on the field. Now these damage to each creature spells will result in massive amounts of lifegain! I always like having life, but even better is using it as a weapon. With Cradle of Vitality, Sunbond, and Light of Promise, gaining life will make creatures massive.

Many spells were included to synergize with Firesong and Sunspeaker. Even low impact spells like Arrows of Justice and Fire at Will trigger both abilities of Firesong and Sunspeaker. Gaining life and drawing a card with Reviving Dose will give a lightning bolt. Paying more mana for lifegaining disenchants like Solemn Offering and Terashi's Grasp will also help trigger the commander ability.

Because of how the commander ability is worded, if the commander gains deathtouch with Gorgon Flail or psuedo-lifelink with Spirit Loop, that 3 damage will be even more effective.

The win condition is to clear a wide open path to the enemy, and then charge through the wreckage to deal final damage. Or simply outlast the enemy and let the flames burn.
