Title: Standard burn?
Post by: izik99 on August 13, 2012, 11:40:19 PM
Building a standard burn/ delvex (yes with an x [vexing devil]) and need good standard (hopefully not mirrodin or m12) burn cards.

We call that Vexing Delver around here. Key cards aside from the obvious include: {thunderous wrath}, {gut shot}, {stormblood berserker}, {bonfire of the damned}, {mana leak} or other counters, {PONDER}, and other draw.

Thanks! Was this deck a new idea or had someone already thought of "vexing delver" as you said?

When avacyn restored was first released, we had 1 person take the deck seriously for about 3 weeks before the {restoration angel} craze.

I was all about {vexing devil} at first. Then I realize it's never a good idea to let your opponent make your decisions for you, as someone on this forum pointed out. Just my two cents. Sounds like a cool deck idea though.
