    What's your board look like? If you're already packing Ensnaring Bridge, they seem like what you'd need for either problem.

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    The upside to the card, and what *might* make it playable is it's ability to convert land #4 into a spell. And at that point, it doesn't really matter what mode your opponent chooses...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    Karakas is a viable sideboard card. It has appeared in the sideboard of more than just Burn to combat strategies that cheat fatties into play. I would be interested in hearing how that player...

    Pyroblast and/or Red Elemental Blast are the only non-graveyard hate cards that do no damage but are still worth consideration. You aren't bringing them in to destroy a Delver or to counter...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    It has been some time since I've piloted Burn, but the deck is a machine so most of my input should still be relevant. :wink:

    Flame Rift stopped seeing play with the printing of Eidolon. The two...

    Thanks for sharing Ed!
    Do you have any information you can provide that might tempt people to try your list over a more proven list that runs Price of Progress?

    You've used all the cards in your hand to get your opponent to 1 life. Their turn just ended with a massive attack and you are staring at lethal damage if you let them untap. You untap your cards,...

    No.


    Yes.
    Increase the number of 'Searing' effects to at least 4 and get rid of shocks and main deck artifact removal.

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    It's been a while since I rocked Burn, but I believe my answers are valid.

    Lavamancer vs Swiftspear is meta dependent.

    Swiftspear is better in a control meta where haste is relevant and...

    Imagine the fairly common scenario where your hand is empty and you just need to draw one more card that does damage. Instead you draw this card. :cry:

    I run a singleton Taiga.

    My mana base is:
    10 Mountains

    1 Taiga

    3 Destructive Revelry in the sideboard are the only :g: in the deck.

    I think you mis-read again. :smile:

    Two separate thoughts:
    1.) "After some goldfishing I would have some more cards in my SB against Storm, but it's tight as it is..."

    2.) "Still not sure...

    I think you misread Chatto's response. :wink:
    I believe he had two separate and unrelated thoughts.

    1.) He will pick up more Ensnaring Bridges.

    2.) He will test more against Miracles...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    I'll throw in my 2 cents. :smile:

    I would up the Ensnaring Bridge count to 3 or 4 (probably 3). The deck we need them for is pretty impossible to beat without having one.

    1 Tormod's Crypt
    1 Relic of Progenitus
    2 Surgical Extraction
    3 Ensnaring Bridge

    Those 6 cards are the only with any application against Dredge.
    I would probably go -4 Price of Progress and -2...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    It is difficult to decisively say whether Goblin Guide or Swiftspear is better in Burn. Playing either turn 1 and following up with two 3-damage/1-mana spells puts your opponent at 10. Swiftspear...
