MTG Salvation

Fairly simple stuff here. Just wondered what people thought, any good cards that I should consider.

I play mono-Red burn in 2HG as well but the only cards that we share are 4x Thermo-Alchemist and 4x Guttersnipe. Fall of the Titans, Firebrand Archer, Flame Rift, Price of Progress, Acidic Soil, Fiery Confluence and Territorial Hellkite are all great for example.

Fiery Confluence is essentially an OTK in 2HG since it deals 12 damage. That's damn near 50% of the enemy's total HP pool. I've never cast one and lost.

Fall of the Titans makes "Fireballs" look like jokes. It's so busted in that format since your Ally can trigger Surge and it deals ludicrous sums of damage.

I mean, sure, Fall of the Titans is broken, but Fiery Confluence???? Is that a four mana spell for 12 damage to your opponent???

Not sure what you're asking here. The card has been exceptionally powerful in my experience. Turn 2 Archer/Alchemist, turn 3 Guttersnipe, turn 4 Confluence is basically how you want to start every game. That's 18-24 damage depending on how many attacks that you managed to get off.

Neither do I.

Thanks for your advice.

My deck now looks like:



The sideboard is there as there has been some talk about our group moving to Modern, if so it will replace Fiery Confluence.

Is your 2HG red burn deck floating around? That I can look at?

Also have you tried 2HG with two red burn decks? Wondered how that would go. I have a friend that runs a massive life gain deck and it might be vulnerable there.

I don't have a hard-and-fast list but it's usually something along the lines of:



Other common inclusions are Red Elemental Blast and Bedlam Reveler. Price of Progress is meta-specific and should be treated accordingly. Keep it as long as it consistently deals 6 or more damage.
