Radiant Flames Replacement

Standard Deck Help forum

Posted on Dec. 10, 2016, 1:38 p.m. by Krhaynes1

I'm running Jeskai Control, and my store doesn't have Radiant Flames. What would be a good replacement for it? i was thinking Nahiri's Wrath maybe? I need something that can sweep somewhat, I'm already running three Fumigate...Suggestions?

Or you could try and trade for one here. I got one I'm not using.

Nahiri's Wrath definitely isn't the same thing and isn't very useful for a deck that can't make use of what it discards (through madness) or make use of it's graveyard. I run it as a sideboard option in my sulti emerge deck (it splashes red for k-return and a couple sideboard cards) and it's effective and has it's merits, but even still in a deck where I'm regularly discarding cards and bringing things back from the graveyard it can still be awkward. When cast the damage scales fast the more you can discard, but the card disadvantage you create for yourself by discarding is a very high price to pay when you can't take advantage of those cards in any other way. I imagine this would be compounded for a control deck that needs to produce as much card advantage as possible in order to have options and answers.
