Nacatl Burn on the Rise?

Modern forum

Posted on Aug. 6, 2015, 6:15 a.m. by MADMatt7777

i was scrolling through the meta on MTGGoldFish earlier and i saw that burn had 2 different decks in the tier 1 category. There was Naya Burn and then there was Nacatl Burn. Basically the same deck, except Nacatl Burn runs 4 Wild Nacatl. What are y'alls thoughts on this right now? I feel like it might be more inconsistent than Naya Burn.

People are calling it Nacatl burn but what it really is, is an extension of the cyclical metagame. Low to the ground aggro decks get beaten by decks that have slightly larger creatures so by adding in Nacatly you can a better burn matchup because you have access to the larger creatures. Plus you get more staying power because your creatures are stronger.

That seems a lot like zoo. But why would you splash green other than for nacatl, kind ape, and loam lion. You get no good cards other than beefing up you sideboard. W/R burn seems better.

What about Destructive Revelry and Atarka's Command they are both super strong in the burn deck.
