I need a sideboard! Also, should I buy {badlands} and {bloodstained mire} to splash {bump in the night}, or {plateau} and {arid Mesa} for {Boros charm}?

Ertai

Don't forget {Torper Orb}. It's perfect for your sideboard.

Thetrufflehunter

Against what deck? I'm thinking some {pyroclasm}s and {shattering spree}s.

Edit: I'm thinking of the one that blows up all artifacts and deals damage. What is it called?

Ertai

Not too sure. But {Shatter}s are a good one too 

Orbs are great against almost all legacy tier decks.


Thetrufflehunter

OOOHH {vexing devil}!

Ertai

Yup. It would defiantly help you there.

I used to play this combo in my RDW in standard a while back and won almost all the time at FNM.

Thetrufflehunter

So splash white, black, or neither?

Ertai

Hmm. I'm not sure you really need to splash anything, though the only thing I can think of is white for life gain.

Thetrufflehunter

That defeats the purpose of burn, save mirror. If I'm not at 0, then I'm still in the game.

Ertai

Well I figured if you played against another burn it would help greatly.

Depends on your meta.

Spencer Addington

Splice white. It gives you options like {lightning helix} and {boros charm} and give you the option of siding in {path to exiles} if need be.

Also if you splash white you can play hate like {Ethersworn Canonist}, as well as enchantment removal.
