What if your burn spells pinged your opponent, twinned into creatures, gained you life and overall won the game for you?? In standard!

This is Jeskai Burn, a deck which rewards fire and lightning plays like none other. Using the combined strength of Satyr Firedrinker and Soulfire Grand Master, ever strike you throw is straight janky. You can aim your stokes at some folks and still control the battlefield. Do they waste their cards blowing up your guys? Ojutai's Command and the overall burn strategy could just care less.

What about boardwipes? Well, we have the best boardwipe combo in the game with Arcbond + Soul-fire Grand Master, block a rhino with the master and deal 4 lifelink damage to every creature and player. Then do a fun dance after wiping the board and probably making the Green/White or Green/Red devotion player weep a little bit.

For card draw we have Treasure Cruise and Narset Transcendent - whose card draw and rebound affects are absolutely spectacular in this format.

Well we got quite a bunch of powerful burn in the next set, so we've updated.

Ravaging Blaze is a good card that becomes STUPID when it's spell mastery activates with a Satyr Firedancer on the field, however its casting cost is a major downside, especially when it's spell mastery does not trigger. A one-of seems fitting here.

Exquisite Firecraft in many ways is better than Jeskai Charm, however it's sorcery speed casting cost makes the well oiled gears of this deck squelch and screech. Control will hate it however. a two of seems fitting.

We're adding Anticipate for better deck control. There's quite a bit of speculation about Day's Undoing is it better card draw? is it worse? Both it and Treasure Cruise are fighting for the same slot in my deck, both make spell mastery more complicated, but is 7 cards of probable burn better over my opponents cards? its going to need testing, and lots of it.

Chandra has quite a bit going for her and I could see maybe mainboarding her in the deck, but I would rather have lifelink or twinned spells than the new flip Chandra. She's sideboard against tokens mainly, as if I am spending 3 mana it should be burn. She doesn't regenerate from Ojutai's Command either, which is frustrating.

I really like Embermaw Hellion. I got two foil prerealease hellions this weekend and they rocked the world. They exist in my sideboard so that I can bring them in against Abzan (watching their Abzan Charms trade for Drown in Sorrow or Bile Blight). I fully expect them to kick butt.

I was going to add Pyromaster's Goggles but I would much rather have a major impact on the board for that amount of mana.
