    Re: Affinity Burn

    Thanks for taking your post here. Is your mana reliable enough to support Boros Charm? That's the first thing that sticks out to me. Tezzeret seems a bit at odds with the strategy of this deck, which seems to be hyperaggression supplemented by burn. Tezzeret is more suited to artifact-based lists that run Sol lands, and he serves the role of the high-powered curve-topper. You might experiment with Tezzeret in the Master of Etherium slot, but I don't know how often you'll be able to cast him. This deck has 14 lands and only 3 Mox Opal, which is on the low end, even with Springleaf Drum helping out. You could also consider Whipflare, which is the best sweeper available to Affinity, and it's quite good against opposing creatures. Lightning Bolt, while not an artifact, sets the standard for cheap removal that can also go to the face. You could test that also.
