[AER] You seem shocked!

Standard* BR (Rakdos) Burn

DarkHaze


Sideboard


Don't be so shocked, it's just a turn 1 Shock to the dome.

This is a burn deck.

We are not zoo, we are not naya-burn, we are burn.

As such we behave like a combo deck, we have very good odds of winning on turn 6, great on 7 and sometimes we get the turn 5 kill.

THIS IS SLOW but incredibly hard to interact with, opponent will need to use counters, we have a lot of redundancy so we should be ok, at least after sideboard, never Tormenting Voice vs counters.

As you know a lot of decks in standard beat a goldfish early, so we have to interact a little.

We do this by chumping with Insolent Neonate and discarding our madness cards, we got Hungry Flames and Collective Brutality too and can board in Collective Defiance

We always look to damage opponent when playing collectives, so defiance is either a win or a 4 mana spell while brutality always discard a card for the value - and it is best if that card has madness which means you feel best when you cast it for 3.

Board Impetuous Devils only if you believe you'll get 4-6 damage out of it.

It is often very tempting to burn creatures, but don't or you won't have the win on an early turn and the longer the game goes the worse are our odds, that means that very very often, if we can shock face turn 1, we shock face turn 1.

Gonti's Machinations - play early and forget, it can probably get the 2 energy alone with the opponents help, live fast is there just in case, make sure not to sac it unless you have to otherwise a topdeck gonti later on is a dead card.
