It gets in for two damage a turn early then, later, once it is outclassed, we can channel it away to look for a burn spell to finish the game. Reinforced Ronin might exemplify what our deck is trying to do better than any other creature can. Phoenix Chick is good at getting in some hasty, evasive damage, and if it dies, we sometimes can get it back even bigger later in the game. Even though it takes a few turns to become a creature, it's sort of a burn spell when it enters the battlefield, and pumping a creature the following turn is solid. The goal of our creatures is to get in damage early in the game so that we can get our opponent's life total low enough to finish them off with burn. While they won't have much power in the late game, that's fine. The rest of our creatures all share something in common: they cost just one mana. Thankfully, Reckless Impulse and Electric Revelation are good ways to keep churning through our deck and are especially synergistic with Kessig Flamebreather and Thermo-Alchemist since they essentially end up dealing damage when we cast them! The Creatures Speaking of card draw, since we're playing with zero rares or mythics, we need to be a bit creative with our card draw since we don't have access to planeswalkers like Jaya or Chandra.
Plus, with the help of card draw like Reckless Impulse and Electric Revelation, we can have some sweet storm-style turns where we sling a bunch of spells and deal a ton of damage by surprise. While neither creature is great at attacking, they are both super powerful once we start slinging our burn spells. More Damageīacking up our burn spells are two creatures that essentially add one additional damage to all of our burn: Thermo-Alchemist and Kessig Flamebreather. Without it, cards like Fleetfoot Dancer or even Sheoldred, the Apocalypse would be close to unbeatable for our deck. While it isn't especially efficient, it's basically a Standard-legal version of Skullcrack for one more mana.

Call In a Professional is especially important because it gives us a way to beat lifegain. Later, once we get our opponent's life total low enough, we can throw them at our opponent's face to close out the game. In the early game, we use cards like Play with Fire and Lightning Strike to control our opponent's board. Each has the flexibility of hitting our opponent's creatures when necessary but also going to our opponent's face. The game plan is to chip in for as much damage as possible with one- and two-mana creatures and get our opponent's life total low enough that burn spells like Play with Fire, Lightning Strike, and Call In a Professional can finish the job. Our deck, like pretty much every other Burn deck to ever exist, is looking to get our opponent's life total to zero as quickly as possible with a combination of aggro creatures and burn spells.
#MTG GOLDFISH STANDARD PHOENIX FREE#
Can a deck that's essentially free compete in Dominaria United Standard? Let's get to the video and find out then, we'll talk more about the deck!Īnother quick reminder: if you enjoy Budget Magic and the other content on MTGGoldfish, make sure to subscribe to the MTGGoldfish YouTube channel to keep up on all the latest and greatest. But today, we get our first look at best-of-three Standard with a deck I'm super hyped about: a burn deck that costs just $22 in paper and has literally zero rares or mythics, making it about as cheap as a deck can possibly be, both in paper and on Magic Arena. The idea is simple: get in early damage with cheap creatures, use things like Thermo-Alchemist and Kessig Flamebreather to add damage to our burn spells, and then finish our opponent with a Lightning Strike or two to the face. Hey there, Budget Magic lovers, it's that time once again! Last week, we got a sneak peek at Dominaria United Standard and played some best-of-one with Izzet Balmor Spellslinger during early-access day.
