In preparation for the SOI Rotation, I've put together a Burn Deck that makes avid use of the Madness ability that was revived.

The deck focuses on discarding, utilizing Madness, and drawing cards to replenish resources.

This deck is relatively favored round 1 against aggro decks. However, it is not favored round 1 versus control decks. For those, sideboard in Duress.

Overall, there are:

• 12 discard outlets in the deck
• 14 cards utilizing Madness
• 13 card draw opportunities
• 20 sources of player burn damage
• 16 sources of creature removal

If you wish to see a further breakdown of the deck including the average mana curve, as well as other cards that were considered for the deck, check out my breakdown here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1buLPxc6Mwv0cY0kqkARAVUoBkXEk7sso_q8bOBsiPVs

If you have any suggestions, please leave them here. Also, please rate the deck, I would like to hear feedback from others.

Thank you!
