After a long period playing burn, i`ve been testing this deck for a while, and the matchup that really scares me is Affinity: i`ve never been able to win a single game against that deck.
This is my current list:
After a lot of testing, coming from a monoW Death/Taxes, i came to the conclusion that Æther Vial is not as strong as i imagined, and i`m going to try to replace them with 3 Dromoka's Command
Drawing inspiration from Liefbrad list, i`m also trying to include Linvala, Keeper of Silence in my list, if my budget will allow me to do so
Also, the current sideboard is a mess, and the inclusion of the Dromoka's Command in the main deck makes Burrenton Forge Tender and Dismember not as good.
This is the final list i have in mind:
This is my decklist. It uses 4x thoughtseize main and has 23 creatures, plus garruck to extra removal/tokens. Another good option is Elspeth, to make jitte pass over TNN.
