What do we have that works with Smokestack? We don't have any recurs ion or token makers or anything. It could nicely complement yhe land destruction, I guess. But frankly , Boom/Bust would be just as strong, wouldn't it?
I think Boom/bust is a fairly easy pick for me. I'll take a 6 mana armageddon over smokestack in this deck, even after the sideboard. I don't see any reliable way to abuse smokestack. We do have abuses for armageddon even if it costs 6 mana. I would try my hardest to make room for Bust in this deck. Ramping into Bust with artifact mana is usually GG (not vs aggro so gets sided out there). Boom could be just as back breaking after plow under or winter orb. Do we have room for BB, wildfire, and plow under is my hesitation.
I do run Bust in my cube, Boom is rarely played. Mass land destruction is great in a lot of different scenarios, and I want more in red.
