Well with the release of 9th edition a few fun cards rotated in, one that caught my eye was Storage Matrix so I built a red burn deck around it.

The basic strategy is to use multiple direct damage spells to kill your opponent while keeping the board locked down with Storage Matrix and multiple sweepers. Quicksand can kill early aggro creatures and Volcanic Hammer can point both ways. Don’t worry if you lose some life early to creatures, it just helps you get more use out of the Pulse of the Forge. The Shrapnel Blast is good for using excess Storage Matrixes and Talismens and is a great finisher.

Form of the Dragon is a card that not many people will be expecting and can easily win games and so getting it out early with Seething Song can often win a game for you. You may want to sideboard it in games 2 and 3, they will need to bring something in to deal with it and they will live in fear of giving you a chance to just burn them out.

Unfortunately this deck uses lots of Mirrodin cards but will be able to be adapted depending on what the new set brings. Here’s the decklist:

// Accelerators
4 Talismen of Indulgence
4 Seething Song

// Sweepers
4 Pyroclasm
4 Flamebreak
2 Flamewave

// Win
2 Form of the Dragon
3 Genju of the spires
3 Shrapnel Blast
4 Volcanic Hammer
4 Pulse of the Forge

// Disrupt
4 Storage Matrix

// Land
3 Quicksand
19 Mountain

// Sideboard
4 Damping Matrix (if they use equipment/utility creatures)
4 Flames of the Blood Hand (more burn against creaturless decks)
4 Shatter (kills artifacts)
3 Beacon of Destruction (again, more burn)

Any questions or suggestion welcome!
