This is my attempt at Jeskai burn. I tried to find a good balance of cards that will both make a huge impact when cast with Narset, Enlightened Master and efficient enough to hard cast. I'm sure I am overlooking some cards or combos so feel free to let me know what you think.
The burn packageLightning StrikeMagma Jet
Stoke the Flames
Crater's ClawsGeneral damage and potential removal if I am desperate. Pretty straightforward. Craters claws is one of the few cards I don't want to flip with Narset, Enlightened Master but it is very good with Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker.
ToolsMindswipe
Howl of the Horde
Deflecting Palm
Dig Through TimeEnd HostilitiesChandra, PyromasterJace, the Living GuildpactThis is the fun stuff. Mindswipe looks like one of the better cards in the set. Counter a scary fatty (polukranos) AND burn the opponent, sure, that's fair. Mindswipe and Deflecting Palm are the other two cards I don't want to flip with narset, but turning your opponents cards against them and preserving our own life is too much to pass up. Deflecting Palm with Dictate of the Twin Gods is ridiculous.End Hostilities = sweeper, I considered Anger of the Gods for this spot but I decided I would rather have a card that kills polukranos and courser instead.
Howl of the Horde
is amazing when flipped with narset, even if that never happens and I'm just hard casting it as one copy of Lightning Strike or
Stoke the Flames
I'm ok with that, it's a fringe card along with Deflecting Palm. Dig Through Time is a very underrated draw spell, More often than not you get what you are looking for and the delve makes it easy to play when we cast so many instants and sorceries.Chandra is just good at all stages of the game, She's free to play with narset, she can protect narset when she attacks by stopping fatties from blocking, her ultimate is very relevant and she can provide card advantage. Great card, consisering running more copies.
Game WinnersKeranos, God of StormsNarset, Enlightened MasterSarkhan, the DragonspeakerDictate of the Twin GodsNarset and keranos = get free cards and free burn, yes please. Play Dictate of the Twin Gods on the end of their turn for a huge blowout after you untap. Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker is a face smasher with a flame slash if you need it and the ultimate can win us games by drawing us into more gas.
Let me know what you think and how I can improve.
