I found this to be more aggro than burn, but it's amazingly fun!+1!

It's burn. It only has 14 creatures, aggro typically has 30.

I just looked at the vid you have front & center, and while I don't have anything against the Talking Heads, outside of the name of the song--this expresses NOTHING of the speed & intensity of Burn..

This on the other hand, is much more fitting.. (Warning: Very explicit lyrics)

Burn - Dope

After cutting Skullcrack, what's your plan against Kor Firewalker? I guess you can use Shrine of Burning Rage, however that's spending two turns and dealing no damage to the player.

Atarka's Command.

I would actually play Skullcrack over Shard Volley for it's ability to avoid Spellskite, get arund protection, and just make the deck even more playable after sideboard. With all the lifegain people are packing these days.

Kjartan I have been considering that.

Only problem is that that is a lot of two-drops.

I don't really see a problem in having two more.I don't really agree there

22 - one drops, into 19 two drops sound almost perfect to me, and you are 24 in 17 right now. (That's considering Rift Bolt as a one-drop)

I sometimes see people focusing so much on having a one-drop dominated curve, that their decks underimpreses in playtesting because they run out of gas too soon, (Especially against slower machups, and after sideboarding), but then again, it's a delicate balance.

Me personally, I consider Shard Volley to be a 1,33 drop, (in burn that is) considering its drawback is only a set back if you don't win when you play it, if you need to cast multiple spells next turn, or if you only have 1-2 lands in play, but it's a drawbak nontheless.

But play the deck how you like it ofc, i'm not saying I know more than you, that's just how I feel when I burn

Sure, it makes sense, but it makes it so much harder to win turn 3 or 4.

I wouldn't say -much- harder, just a little bit. You could alway go 1 in 1 if you disire. That would give you the, if you ask me, nearly perfect burn curve of 23 one-drops and 18 two-drops.

But I see your point.

I like having three skullcrack and two command. Having the command without a creature makes it strictly worse than skullcrack. Also, when you have an opening hand with a mountain, a fetch, and no green or white spells in hand, it makes it really hard to guess what to fetch for, when you know you will draw a command or a charm.

No... Command is still better if you have an extra land in hand then that plus bolt also works. Also damage can't be prevented only comes into play against firewalker, post board, when my firewalkers come in.

What do you use Shrine of Burning Rage for? There aren't really any heavy control match ups in this meta. Tron and Twin can just return it to your hand/finish you off before it does anything.

It is for against the control decks in my particular meta.
