This is my take of burn at the stake. A lot of fun to play if you dont mind a long turn and drawing tons of cards.

I think going to a mostly red deck helps with the mana problems. Young Pyromancer is really the key to what makes this deck possible without Lingering Souls or beck & call

I have been able to consistently get my combo for around 30 damage on turns 4-5. It takes longer depending on the amount of removal or disruption they have but I have been winning about 2 out of 3 games with this.

This deck is pretty weak post sideboard. A Rest in Peace or timely counter spell will shut you down. I just built this for fun but if I had to build a sideboard to go with it, I would probably add a lot of creatures like Ogre Battledriver or Hellrider . you could even use things like Nivix Cyclops

This deck is pretty straight forward. Use you dig spells to find the pieces of your combo. tokens and battle hymn are key to let you keep digging deep. use past in flames to give your cards flash back. do not block unless you must. if you think you are about to lose just start flashing back dig spells. even on a bad turn I can dig about 10 spells up. makes tokens, battle, hymn, draw cards, make tokens, burn at the stake.
