Add green for pump spell instants

I already have 16 pump spells instants... I used to run it multicolor, but only red is much more reliable, fast and cheap!

Need a creature that isnt hit by bolt

I thought about Hound of Griselbrand that would need two bolts (and a Shocks wouldn't be enough), however I don't like him because of the mana cost, but it's a fine addition. The other option I thought would be Electrostatic Pummeler if you have enough energy, although it would lose it's firepower. Brute Force can save them. You can sideboard those and more options, suggestions are welcomed.

I didn't know this was even possible. A 7 dollar deck that's actually kind of decent? Wow!

What about Rush of Adrenaline? It's so much better than Brute Strength.

How about Apostle's Blessing to deal with the direct damage to your creatures? I imagine that you can afford to take the life loss instead of splashing white.

DarDar17 Thank you, I will take kind of decent haha. So yeah, the problem with Rush of Adrenaline is that it only gives 2 power. The thing with this deck is that you want to have the combo as quick and reliable as possible.

Here's the problem: Suppose you have a 1/x double striker (like most of the creatures in this deck), and in your hand you got Borrowed Hostility, Brute Force and Rush of Adrenaline. You can pump it up to 9 (1+3+3+2), so you won't have fatal. It would be different if instead of Rush of Adrenaline you had Brute Strength. However, it's still viable, and surely an option (I surely will add it to the maybeboard, and the sideboard, but I don't want to the listing price to increase) if you are going against a deck with good blockers; usually Panic Spellbomb, Madcap Skills and Break Through the Line does the job though.

Tsuru-Hime It's definetely an option, a good one!

Thanks for the suggestion, I will add it to the maybeboard (and the sideboard, but I don't want to the listing price to increase). I would not play it in the main deck, however, as it may get in the way of unleashing the combo super early, and being fast is a must for this deck, as the game progresses it gets harder and harder to pull this thing off (more blockers, life gain, board removals, control spells, it's a mess).

DarDar17 In my last comment, by Brute Strength I meant Brute Force (and I think you did to, as brute force is only in the maybeboard), although my point remains the same.

Tsuru-Hime Another problem is that you usually end your turns with 0-mana, so having to leave 1 mana up for Apostle's Blessing would slow it down even more. However, it's still a nice sideboard addition against low-cost control decks with lots of Shocks, and can substitute the Panic Spellbombs against a deck with super low amount of creatures.

Inquisitor's Flail you need this... it's so nasty with double strike

Schar17 says... #11

Nephilim Haha, that would be super funny.

Although very cool, it's too mana heavy (4 mana total) and too much of a overkill. Will put it in the maybeboard for the lols though, ty for the suggestion.

Nice deck! Thanks for sharing!

Destructive Tampering might work perfectly on turn 6, if something goes wrong. Also, it's versatile.

Schar17 says... #13

br_dude Yeah, it's an ok sideboard option against defensives decks. Most games what is already avaiable tend to perform good, and trample does the job.

Thanks for the suggestion, though! I will add it to the maybeboard, and will think about sideboarding it.

This deck is great. Pyreheart Wolf would be a good add.

Didn't link in previous.Pyreheart Wolf

Schar17 says... #16

porcupinepete Thank you for the suggestion, it's nice although I feel it slows the combo maybe 1 or 2 turns. Good against blocker and may confuse the opponent on what is the decks purpose. For now, though, I don't feel like it has a place in the deck. I will surely think about it.

Schar17 yea I think your right it does slow it down a bit.This is going to infuriate some people at FNM.

suino89 Ty for the suggestions. That would defintely make it more competitive but it would make it a lot more expensive! (and a lot less fun :c)

The point of the deck is winning by surprise with the double damage. By making the changes you suggested it would look much more like a normal mono-red burn deck (a good one, but not what I'm trying to go for).
