Ixalan Deck Tech: U/R Blasting Cannons


The reprint or maybe an upgrade of Outpost Siege in the form of Vance’s Blasting Cannons got me thinking of its uses not only in Ramunap Red but also in a Blue Red (mostly) Spells deck. The build goes on a pseudo-Burn route with Blue for cheap card draws like Opt and Chart a Course. The low curve is prioritized for a higher chance of transforming Vance’s Blasting Cannons.

Here below is the first version of the U/R Blasting Cannons deck:
