So how are we going to use this particular enchantment which costs 2 and a red mana, well there are quite few cards out there with Flashback these days and if we go Blue/Red we might have a shot since there are alot of mana fixers out there to help us along with this deck, let's first build the list and i will explain my choices
Creatures wise we will need some form of protection, Snapcaster Mage and Delver of Secrets seem to be our best options for this deck, along with the obvious but ever helpful Chandra's Phoenix in this list to make up the main creature base of the deck, so here's the creature base i had in mind for this particular list.
Creatures
4x Snapcaster Mage
3x Chandra's Phoenix
4x Delver of Secrets
Since we need lots of spells in the deck let's breakdown what Flashback spells we are able to use in this deck first.
Instants
- Ancient Grudge
- Cackling Counterpart
- Desperate Ravings
- Dream Twist
- Forbidden Alchemy
- Geistflame
- Memory's Journey
- Think Twice
Sorceries
- Devil's Play
- Grasp of Phantoms
- Nightbird's Clutches
- Past in Flames
- Rolling Temblor
- Silent Departure
So that's the Innistrad sorceries and Instants for this potential deck, that we can use for Flashback, but there are at least 3 Dark Ascension cards we can use for the deck potentially, Faithless Looting, Secrets of the Dead and Altar of the Lost which all help towards flashback in some way shape or form, but we can also use non flashback style spells for the deck, since we are in Blue/Red for the deck let's take a look at the top 5 of each color used lately
Blue
- Mana Leak
- Ponder
- Dissipate
- Negate
- Flashfreeze
Red
- Incinerate
- Gut Shot
- Brimstone Volley
- Galvanic Blast
- Desperate Ravings
So out of all the listed cards i posted above what would work in this list, Blue/Red tempo control might work with Burning Vengeance as a finisher card for all our good flashback material spells, here's my list for the spells for the deck besides the obvious 4 copies of Burning Vengeance
Spells
3 Dissipate
4 Burning Vengeance
4 Faithless Looting
3 Gut Shot
3 Brimstone Volley
2 Galvanic Blast
2 Ancient Grudge
3 Mana Leak
2 Vapor Snag
With the sideboarding having the following for the deck itself
Sideboard
2 Ancient Grudge
1 Mana Leak
2 Flashfreeze
3 Shatter
1 Dissipate
1 Chandra's Phoenix
2 Vapor Snag
1 Devil's Play
2 Galvanic Blast
That's a pretty diverse sideboard for the deck i feel, since the meta is all about Tempered Steel/Green/White humans these days, so test with this sideboard at your own lesiure and tell me in the comments of this article what your sideboard is for the deck, i want everyone to at least adapt the original sideboard.
Lands for the deck are pretty basic
Lands
4 Sulfur Falls
9 Mountain
10 Island
Here's the final list for the deck when you go to build it of course
U/R Burning Vengeance
Creatures
4x Snapcaster Mage
3x Chandra's Phoenix
4x Delver of Secrets
Spells
3 Dissipate
4 Burning Vengeance
4 Faithless Looting
3 Gut Shot
3 Brimstone Volley
2 Galvanic Blast
2 Ancient Grudge
3 Mana Leak
2 Vapor Snag
Lands
4 Sulfur Falls
9 Mountain
10 Island
Sideboard
2 Ancient Grudge
1 Mana Leak
2 Flashfreeze
3 Shatter
1 Dissipate
1 Chandra's Phoenix
2 Vapor Snag
1 Devil's Play
2 Galvanic Blast
Let me explain the sideboard a bit for you folks, the 4th chandra's phoenix is in here to basically go for the more heavy red decks in Red Deck Wins, espically as a blocker against a 4/4 koth'ed mountain in this format, we have a bunch of counter spells for situational purposes including the 4th Dissipate and Mana Leak and all the basic spells to go with Burning Vengeance, for anyone whom tries to use this deck keep in mind lots of testing is needed so use Cockatrice or Magic Workstation to test, other then i wish you rogue builders a lot of luck, till next time this is vergil signing off
