Hello all! After careful consideration, I am sold on playing this deck after I get the necessary cards for it. Really looking forward to getting it, and playing this deck! I was wondering, in an unknown meta, should I build it to be more combo focused, or more interactive? Also, what is the general consensus on the Explore/Farseek split? Really want to start getting into competitive modern tournaments again, and I am very excited to be doing just that with this deck. Any and all tips are appreciated. Thanks in advance! Happy land-bolting!
I broke out my Mardu Burn deck just to try it out and I'm loving it thus far. Haven't done any rigorous testing, but went 5-0 at FNM and really liked how smooth and intuitive it played. Both modes are relevant and apply to all of our creatures; Vexing Devil always gets a bad rap because it gives your opponent a choice, but having a choice doesn't matter when you're able to drop him onto the battlefield numerous times. If you're looking to play the paper version, I suggest buying your Devils now while they're still under $10.
Sweet, thanks for the input! Would you happen to have a list and would not mind sharing?
Has anyone tried a Rakdos with Vexing Devil + Claim//Fame combo? I have been really drawn to playing Burn because of that combo, and was wanting to hear opinions on whether or not it is competitive, or I should just straight up play Boros Burn. Thanks!
Hi guys! I'm new to this website, but have been a constant lurker the last month or two. I came to this thread because I'm unsure of which deck to play (obviously haha). I've been playing Magic for a little over two years now, and my favorite format is Modern. I love all decks that aren't dedicated control, and have played decks like Bant Eldrazi, Dredge (pre-bannings), and Infect (pre-bannings). I got out of Modern after the bannings because I wasn't sure of which deck I wanted to play, and I don't don't have all of Infect or Dredge anymore. My friends say I'm a red mage, but am unsure of whether or not I'd get bored with Burn. I saw a Rakdos burn deck with Vexing Devil and Claim//Fame, which got me interested, but have also thought about playing Skred, as it is different for a red deck. I also LOVE Eldrazi, but do not want to play Eldrazi Tron and have thought about picking up BE again. I have also been considering Jund.... Can anyone give me any suggestions? Thanks!
