I like pyromancer. Even with bridge the tokens are good because they're small.

I would recommend against Ensoul Artifact ...it seems like a fun idea, but I don't think it's that competitive. The idea of swinging with The Rack is fun, but it seems very "win more" to me.

Yea definitely decided against it.

Ragged Veins

why run Overgrown Tomb and Watery Grave when you can just run a playset of Blood Crypt?

well u know... need to use them to cast spells and stuff. Overgrown Tomb is for Abrupt Decay and Watery Grave for Spellskite activation and Academy Ruins

Besides 4x Blood Crypt is a waste of space. I'm running 8 fetches so it's essentially 10 copies of Blood Crypt as is....

oh i didn't notice you were running abrupt decay or academy ruins, and i assumed you would just take the life for spellskite

well paying life is a valid option (Infect) but it can be much better to pay with a Watery Grave during some matches (BURN!)

This looks awesome mate, +1 from me. Does it perform well at like an FNM? Or is it just a kitchen top destroyer?

It performs well for 8Rack but suffers from the same consistency problems the rest of the archetype does. (not having the right amount of discard & racks) I usually run a different (better) deck at my FNM. Game 2 with Tutors deff improves the performance of the deck. Blightning flat out kicks ass. If you're good at playing 8Rack, this version is IMO the best there is. The burn spells are far superior to Nezumi Shortfang or Quest for the Nihil Stone. Spellskite holds so much MB value & Blightning and Rakdos's Return push through for those last few cards an opponent will hang onto to stay out of Rack Bleed range.

I've built Mono B, & G/B (when DRS was legal) multiple times. Only thing I feel either of those versions offer over this one is Treetop Village

Aye I figured as much with consistency. What deck do you usually take with you to FNM? Def like this version man.

Mono Black Control

Though... next time I go I'm running this... Zombiepox

Nice build. With the burn it's a supercharged 8-rack.

+1

Kolaghan's Command seems pretty decent. Could be a better choice than Blightning.

JexInfinite you have to explain your reasoning. 2 cards + a bolt seems way better to me than 1 card and a Shock.

Overall in the deck, you're probably right with Blightning, but Kolaghan's Command is an instant, and can hit problematic creatures. It happens a turn before Damnation.

If you ran a slightly different version of the deck with Young Peezy, it would be great, but in creatureless, you miss out on 1 mode.

Peezy didn't work nearly as good as I had hoped he would :/ wish he had a better home than Delver, ive always liked the card.

Maybe a casual deck, the Pyro fam. Grim Lavamancer Young Pyromancer Chandra, Pyromaster haha.

If you aren't worried about whether an enchantment is exiled or destroyed Wear / Tear would be a good replacement for Erase in the sideboard.

Have you considered Bitterblossom here? The faeries make great chumps until you can get a bridge out. Also, the 1/1s can fly under your bridge before discarding after your combat phase once it is in play.

I haven't bothered with this deck in a while but I do have some Bitterblossom
