A mega burn deck that combos to kill.
--- end description ---

Okay, inspired from F_M’s D-Storm deck, I want to build something like it, only different.

Lands (22):

Molten Slagheap x 4
Spinerock Knoll x 4
Mountain x 14

Accelerators (4):

Lotus Bloom x 4

Instants/Sorceries (26):

Arc Blade x 2
Grapeshot x 4
Rift Bolt x 4
Browbeat x 4
Dragonstorm x 4
Rite of Flame x 4
Needle Drop x 2
Wheel of Fate x 2

Creatures (4):

Bogardan Hellkite x 4

Enchantments (4):

Pyromancer’s Swath x 4

I hope F_M doesn’t mind me stealing his idea.

Frankly, the point is simple. BURN! Just D-storm alone is enough, but the burning with tons of suspended cards is even better, as it combined with Pyromancer’s Swath = tons of burning. Especially with Grapeshot.

Tested deck. 2 spell D-storm to swing for 15, followed by a 2 spell Grapeshot/Pyromancer’s Swath to swing for 9, triggering Grapeshot from Spinerock Knoll for 12, total of 21.

EDIT: Another test, 41 swing on turn 5.

Fells good, huh? Until you take a Story Circle to the face, that is... Wink

Took one. *wince*

Actually didn’t do that bad. Some Volcanic Awakening slowed him and I was able to get him down to 6. (BTW, I’ve messed with the deck a lot. Hence, Volcanic Awakening). 3 suspended Rift Bolt/Needle Drop/Grapeshot worked well on outpacing his mana, and that after D-storming 4 Bogardan Hellkites and swinging with them, it was pretty good. But then he pulled Sacred Mesa and all the Pegasus on me. Ouch.

I now use Fungal Reaches and pack Spring Cleaning in the sideboard. I may go for Pithing Needle, but Spring Cleaning has it gone, kaput, forever, vs it getting Oblivion-ed out of the way so Story Circle can keep working.

Yeah. But if they drop 2, you depend on winning a clash. And by dropping Pithing Needle the turn you go off, you spend 1 more mana and guarantee that it won’t bother you, no matter how many Circles he has.

Not instant speed. you can still drop Needle, name Story Circle, and combo away.

OH!!! I see. So its only used immediately before dropping the bomb.

Gotcha. That makes better sense, and I’m dropping the Green engine from my deck. Very Happy
