  • 2x [[Mizzium Mortar]]

This deck is intended to be very fast but still stand a chance should the game drag on longer than intended. One and two drop creatures early on, then finish them off with burn spells as they start to establish themselves. The combo of Burning-Tree Emissary, Young Pyromancer, and Foundry Street Denizen works surprisingly well. Hammer of Purphoros is there to help with mana flood and the haste is pretty nice.

In the sideboard, Burning Earth and Skullcrack (deals really well with Sphinx's Revelation) are brought in against control decks, maybe Fated Conflagration as well to deal with Jace and Elspeth. The two Searing Blood are brought in against other aggro decks or blue devotion, same with Mizzium Mortars. Frostburn Weird is for Black Devotion. It helps against Bile Blight. Act of Treason and Mizzium Mortars are helpful for G/R Monsters.

Anyone think I should change numbers anywhere or try something out?

Changing some numbers and a couple cards — May 13, 2014
Edit

So after playing it a lot and testing, I've come to what I think are some really good numbers. I took out Chandra, Pyromaster and Hammer of Purphoros as they were just the deck's biggest underperformers.

1 Hall of Triumph was added and it's great since most of the damage is done on the ground, every creature is red, and it affects the board right away. Having an extra 3 drop can give me stuff to do when there's a little extra mana as well.

4 Magma Spray were added to the sideboard to deal with other aggro decks, especially Voice of Resurgence . It will likely take the place of some Shock s, Mizzium Mortars s, and Skullcrack s post board.

2 Peak Eruption are added for other red aggro decks and Boros midrange decks. Killing a land and doing damage should be awesome and should slow them down.

Ash Zealot was also completely taken out. It's a great card, but not with Burning-Tree Emissary.
