iMtG Server: Gathering

Deathrite Artist 60 cards, 0 sideboard 2 {Selesnya Guildgate} 3 {Golgari Guildgate} 4 {Forest} 7 {Swamp} 6 {Mountain} 2 {Rakdos Guildgate} 24 lands 3 {Deathrite Shaman} 4 {Blood Artist} 3 {Geralf's Messenger} 4 {Typhoid Rats} 2 {Vampire Nighthawk} 16 creatures 3 {Treasured Find} 2 {Street Spasm} 4 {Unburial Rites} 3 {Mizzium Mortars} 2 {Lingering Souls} 2 {Chromatic Lantern} 4 {Pillar of Flame} 20 other spells Sideboard

The idea is to kill their things with burn spells and deathtouch creatures and then exile said spells with {deathrite shaman}. I feel like theres not enough burn spells in here, and I need help with the mana base. Suggestions and opinions?

Try adding a few {Brimstone Volley} and  {Guttersnipe} that should speed things up, also try adding  {Curiosity} for your lack of draw power chuck it on a gutter or a deathrite shaman and watch the cards fly.

Those could definitely be viable is this deck. Ive never run a five color deck before. That could be fun.

Both deathrite and the artist are opposites when it comes to damage. But if you feel you can make it work then go for it! An interesting combo no doubt.

Id drop lingering souls for {Giant growth}.
Also {Treasure find} seems rather useless in this deck tbh. Run more burn instead. Im thinking you'd rather exile something with deathrite than getting it back without being able to use your shaman on treasured find.

Yeah with the amount of burn and low cost creatures, {lingering souls} might be redundant. {treasured find} is in there for maximum use of {unburial rites} and burn spells. I havent tested it out any so i havent seen how it interacts with the rest of the deck.

Another combo i might put in here is {hellhole flailer} + {rancor} to nerf midgame creatures.

Edit: target player, not creature. Still would be awesome though.

Why not just hang let the hellhole hang around until you can drop a  {Revenge of the Hunted} and do some serious damage.

{deathrite shaman} doesnt deal damage fyi. Life loss will not trigger curiosity.

Yeah thats not a bad idea. I made two versions of this deck. This one, and then one that is just {R}{B}. Im going to test both and see what runs smoother.
