Burn vs Affinity
Modern forum

So I played affinity for the first time today and not going to lie, I was pretty impressed. I didnt have my nanya burn deck with me so I was playing mono red burn and ended up not winning a single match against this guy. What are some tips to beat affinity using burn. In my normal deck I run Path to Exile in my sideboard but some of his artifacts have shroud so im not sure how effective that would be.

Do the Haka before your game to intimidate him. Turn things sideways and go for the face/Vault Skirge/the thing he Cranial Plating'd for the rest of his mana.

Most Affinity decks only run one basic, an Island, so path can be nice.
Affinity is one of the easiest decks to hate out. It's obviously soft to artifact removal, like Shattering Spree and Shatterstorm. Just don't forget that it usually runs 8 manlands so you'll want to keep some instant speed removal handy like the paths you mentioned.

I run 3 Destructive Revelry in my sideboard do you think that is enough? So if I put shatter spree in my sideboard, how many should i sideboard in. Is four too much?

Being faster, resolving and buffing Vault Skirge, spellskite.
