Well, it doesn't seem strange to me. I understand how it can be cool to save your creatures from burn spells, or live the dream of triple growth + boros charm double strike, but in the end i think it is just a high risk- high reward card that burn tipycally doesn't want. i want cards that deal damag...

I saw the norin combo deck on mtgpulse, it won a quite big tournament in japan. It looks fun and have lots of synergies, between norin/soul sister's/pridemate/champion of the parish/ and even purphoros.
I found it: http://mtgpulse.com/event/18469#260497 well, not big, there were 30 players

I am currently playing a 7th protection spell main deck , (ajani's presence), plus the stock six (4 god's willing 2 feat of resistance). I like it because i feel like if i don't have a protection spell i can only: - play creature after creature, that can be decent against control/heavy removal deck ...

It's very real :) i feel like it is similar to last season's aura hexproof deck : most of the times you are doing absolutely broken things, but sometimes you draw the wrong part of your deck and do nothing. Zemanjaski's testing the deck too, he wrote some posts in the clan thread. Let's see if he co...

I'm pretty sure 20 lands are too few in U/W heroic ; excluding the case of turn 1 oplite turn 2 ordeal, all your other creatures cost 2, so you always want to hit at least 3 land drops to cast ordeal + protection spell turn 3. Besides, the deck is not totally prone to flooding, because 4 defiant str...
You are right, i should just have said that i believe smash to smithereens is a strictly better card in burn. You want wear/tear for enchantments, but if have to deal only with artifacts smash is the better choice. Look at it this way: wear/tear is just a 1 for 1 removal spell, and burn is not looki...
I like playing 2 wear/tear 2 smash to smithereens , because sometimes you want to board in 1-2 artifact destruction spells for annoying cards like dragon's claw, and the upside of dealing 3 damage is huge. I can't justify boarding in a spell that doesn't deal damage to destroy something that my oppo...

So you don't like blue. Best non blue deck at the moment is probably elves, but you dislike green too. This leaves you with few options : stompy decks (dragon stompy and MUD are the best), death and taxes, burn, imperial painter. Burn is fine, but you just lose to combo decks all the time. Death and...

I built this deck too after tom ross' awesome performances with it, but i have to say i am not impressed. I mean, i am conscious that i should improve my play because the deck is quite unforgiving -- make a mistake at the wrong time and you just lose-- but what concerns me is the very high mulligan ...

All decks that feature a high curve with a manabase of ancient tomb and city of traitors (sol lands) can randomly lose to variance. You don't get to play brainstorm, force of will, treasure cruise. If you want a very competitive deck i would not recommend building mud. However, i always avoid playin...

Elves is an even matchup and a lot is decided by the die roll. Of course to win you have to see a mix of searing effects and lavamancers/eidolon. Just killing their creatures without applying pressure is a losing proposition because they have a lot of card advantage and will eventually recover and k...

Simian spirit guide is bad in burn -- we are not trying to cast an extremely powerful spell early that wins the game on its own, we just aim to kill the opponent with 6/7 cards in the most efficient way. Every resource is very important to win in a reasonable time frame and we need our lands to stay...

Shattering spree can answer chalice of the void because copies are not cast and is versatile because you can cast it for any amount of mana. Smash to smithereens fits in the aggressive gameplan of the deck (although the dig/snap lists are less aggressive) and is a card i like because i can side it i...

I totally agree with LP, and i personally take a lot of time in the first 2-3 turns of the game when playing boss sligh. The average opponent won't understand why ever you are thinking so much before tapping a mountain and playing a dude, and will just complain about your slow play and scrump deck. ...
