Reading_is_cool he brewed a izzet young pyromancer modern deck... what on earth do you mean?

? I came up with this idea with my friends. Idk if someone else has had it before but I'm only gonna give credit where credit is due.

damn nice deck! I'm typically a black or green specialist but I can seriously see myself building this for my local FNM. +1 definitely!

Played this at last FNM... it was fun!

lol I love it! Another fun little red deck win XD budget and effective. I'll just have to hope that i can counter enough stuff to make this stop if I go against it ever.

This is great! +1

i tested this, and it works fantastically! Burn at the Stake and Young Pyromancer are such a lethal combo, the only thing i found was that it burns itself out quickly. i would throw in some Wild Guess , in place of maybe Brimstone Volley . i will give you your 100th vote! +1 awesome deck!

Made my day! This deck is hilarious, and likely to exile you from your normal MTG circle lol. The fact that it is pretty solid budget is even better.

splash white and add 4x Boros Charm . It will still trigger your snipe, phoenix, and pyromancer. You absolutely need it for wraths. Something like -2 Burn at the Stake (you only need 2-3), -2 Shock .

+4 Sacred Foundry , +4 Clifftop Retreat -8 Mountain

You could also go with 2 Burning Earth , even with the white. You have enough mountains to work around it except for when you really need it.

I'd be more interested in finding tricks to fix the hurt this deck will suffer when Innistrad block rotates out.

Lucky13 we can't really do that well that until Theros is known, but you're right there will be a lot to fix.

mutavault?

This looked super fun, so I decided to test it with my Infect Deck (which none of my friends want to play against either, so I thought it was fair. X3)

You drew mountain, Krenko's Command , Guttersnipe , Molten Birth , Hellrider , and 2 Burn at the Stake . - I figured it had good progression and took a risk on drawing a land next turn.

Me: 2 forest and 2 swamp, Glistener Elf , Rancor , Groundswell - Took a risk myself on getting no more land and a quick turn two 7 poison.

Game.

Phew. Well, that game slowed a bit in the middle for us both, and then unfortunately you weren't able to capitalize on having such an abundance of tokens.

So, the score is 1-1. If you want me to play a third game and report, I will, but honestly, I'm tired of writing it all down. Takes forever. I'll play a third and give you an overview though. = D

Nevermind, this one was quick.

Game 3

You 2 Mountain, 2 Molten Birth , Prodigal Pyromancer , Pillar of Flame , Krenko's Command Good progression, defense

Me: 2 Forest, 1 Golgari Guildgate , Plague Stinger , Ichorclaw Myr , Mutagenic Growth , Groundswell . Good flow and Plague Stinger wins me games often.

You go first

T 1 play mountain, pass

T1, draw Giant Growth , play Golgari Guildgate

T 2 draw Chandra's Phoenix , play mountain tap 2, play Krenko's Command for blockers again.

T2 draw Livewire Lash , play forest, tap 2, play Plague Stinger

T 3 draw Brimstone Volley , You don't like that Plague Stinger so you tap 1 and Pillar of Flame it, but I Mutagenic Growth it and save it. Damn that MG. XD

You 0 Poison

Me: 18 life

T 4 draw Searing Spear , may not last another turn with that Plague Stinger out, so tap 2 and Searing Spear it, killing it. You figure I probably don't have a turn 3 haste creature, so you swing 2 1/1 goblins, dealing me 2.

You 11 Poison

Me: 10 life

Game.

Overall, your deck was fun to play against. You certainly gave me a run for my money against my deck, which is rare. =D I would suggest trying to find more things to take advantage of your tokens and deal direct damage just for having them. Often, as you saw, I'd get a lot of tokens, but wouldn't have anything to do with them besides wait, since the times I did have Burn at the Stake I didn't have enough mana to cast it. (Though, the quick army of tokens was pretty fun and is a force all on its own.)

Anything that might say "deal damage equal to the number of creatures on the field/you control" (if there is such a thing) would be great in this deck.

Thanks for a fun afternoon and if you feel the call, any comment or critique on any of my decks would be great. =3

I would say tell them to get better at the game. Burn decks can be tough but they aren't impossible. Witchbane Orb shuts it down completely if you can't beat them by turn 4. There are tons of other countless competitive decks that can beat this. Don't get me wrong, the deck looks good and I give you all the credit in the world for building it, but it sounds like your friends are babies.

doesn't get humor

What are your plans for cards rotating out?

What about Pyromancer's Gauntlet I know it's expensive but it can be really devastating if played right

Oh sorry just realized that you were not try to improve the deck

nice deck too bad i saw it late, a lot aof cards rotating out, and gasp, no Mutavault ?

and no Dynacharge

I totally fell in love with this deck. After play-testing it for just a bit, I found its speed and deadliness to be quite comparable.

So, for anyone else who posted here, what to do about rotation?

We need a suitable replacement for, Burn at the Stake , Pillar of Flame , Brimstone Volley , and Hellrider .

Pillar of Flame seems replaceable with any other cheap burn spell.

Brimstone Volley seems similar to that as well.

However, Burn at the Stake and Hellrider both seem quite difficult to exchange.

Are there any cards that would allow the multitude of tokens to be taken advantage of?

Perhaps Barrage of Expendables ? Compensate it with Act of Treason so you you can grab their Big Bad, attack them with it, burn for 1, sac and burn for another 1.

Massive Raid
