Standard Burn FNM Mono-Red Red Deck Wins

Sideboard


Maybeboard


I'm going for a FNM Burn deck, based on dealing damage using the synergy between my "Power Three:" Purphoros, God of the Forge, Young Pyromancer, and Guttersnipe.

Obviously this means I need a good amount of Instant and Sorcery spells.

I've added a variety of burn, centered around 4x Magma Jetbecause I want the Scry. Wild Guesshelps take advantage of that Scry and cycles cards on dead draws. Molten Birthfits in very well with my "Power Three" and can even come back to me 50% of the time.

I originally chose Blistercoil Weirdas my 1-drop to take advantage of how many Instant and Sorcery spells I'm casting, but I've switched him for Firedrinker Satyrbecause I think he can be a great 1-drop in this deck. He can punish enemies for light boards early and make use of extra mana from Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx in the late game. I just have to be sure not to mis-play him so I don't end up getting bit.

I've added Fanatic of Mogisbecause I felt like I wasn't able to keep enough permanents on the battlefield. I wanted a creature to take advantage of my opponent's often empty board due to creature burn that also fit into my style of doing damage on entry. To that end I also put in Ogre Battledriverto help build devotion and at the same time buff my Elemental tokens and other creatures as they hit the battlefield.

I also feel like Hammer of Purphorosreally fits in well, building devotion and taking advantage of extra land (which seems to build up quickly).

Items on the Maybeboard are cards I'm very likely going to acquire the next time I put in an order.

So there it is. Please leave honest feedback and suggestions. I'm really looking to see what people think, good or bad.
