I’m really in love with the format so I play and build decks for it all the time. I had considered writing about it in the near future. The positive response here seems to indicate an interest in the format. Thoughts on full articles on this topic?

Hellion Crucible is one that slipped my mind. Being colorless and a little mana intensive aren’t great, but I like the idea.

Ball Lightning I had considered, but it dies to a lot of things without gaining any value, which isn’t what I want to be doing for three.

CoP: Red sounds like a nightmare. Haha. Not really sure what to do about that one. I guess if they have it, good on them.

Scepter and Cursed Scroll are both on my maybe list, but were ruled out to inefficiency. They may find their way in depending on performance and metagame.

I’m really against cards like Breaking Point due to the punisher mechanic being pretty weak, but if it’s working for you then more power to you. Playing this format is all about having fun, after all.

Bonfire is definitely a staple of this format. I can’t see not playing it in a red deck.

Edit: I missed Bonfire in your list. Sorry!

I’ve enjoyed them all immensely in burn decks.

Breaking Point is especially powerful in this format, as the two options (they lose all of their creatures, or they take six damage) are both very efficient for 1RR.

Having never actually *played* the format I’m eager to know how to make decks that beat combo work well. I’ve heard combo is very powerful and popular. Shu Yun, and Jeskai/Izzet in general seem good because of access to powerful counter magic while also having the burn and fast attacking elements available. I also hear that removal and graveyard strategies are common, so Alesha seems like a nice was to respond.

If you can play him and a burn spell in the same turn, it is like he had haste and was unblockable; beyond that, he gets much, much better.

P.S.: Rabblemaster is listed as a spell, that seems wrong 😉

25 is definitely higher than 20, but always having a 2/2 on turn one is a powerful tool. It does make things like Lava Spike feel a little silly, but efficiency is key.

I like it better when you’re drawing cards and are looking to make more land drops. It’s a little expensive for this deck, but it’s definitely a consideration.

I have plans for at least two of these! Thank you for your interest. There are many brews coming.

Keep it up. Leaders I am interested in: Alesha, Who Smiles at Death, Shu Yun, The Silent Tempest, a sultai leader and build.
