[Primer/Deck] Burn

[EdsonDettoni]

Hi, you all,

I'd like to discuss certain maindeck cards that i've found very good in testing:

(i) 1 Barbarian Ring, whatever be your list, with Grim Lavamancer or not, it is always useful, versatile, and non-counterable.

(ii) 3 Grim Lavamancer, not 4. It's is a bad hand when are 2 Grim Lavamancer in your initial hand or firsts draws, and you have no cemetery to feed them. One of them become useless.

(iii) 3 Fireblast, not 4. This maybe sound weird or just silly. Besides the same reason I said about Grim Lavamancer above, sometimes it is hard to draw the 4 mountains. 3 have been worked to me.

(iv) Searing Blaze. What a card. I was skeptic about this card until I've tested it. Removal and Guaranteed Damage at the same time, 6 damage for two. To use it properly, I run 12 fetchlands. There is no reason to place this card in Side Board. This applies too for the 4 Flamebreak in Side Board.

(v) 1 or 2 Dangerous Wager. I'm not convinced, but sometimes this give you the extra gas to win; and most important, it is not just card advantage in exchange of tempo. It allows you to draw again another good card like 4 Price of Progress instead a Incinerate, for example.
