I am sharing today a decklist from the top 16 decks of the recent Standard Grand Prix in Albuquerque. That GP saw Owen Turtenwald (piloted Mono Black Devotion) winning back-to-back, with just last weekend’s win at Washington DC. This deck archetype I am about to feature though is another take of the controllish burn deck & which it only has seven creatures to utilize for attacking.
I have counted about twenty sources of direct burn damage spells in the main and backed up by an interesting sideboard plan.
The deck finished at 11th place with 36 pts. Here is the list, played by Joe Demestrio:
Maindeck
4 Temple of Silence
4 Temple of Triumph
1 Temple of Abandon
4 Sacred Foundry
10 Mountain
4 Chandra’s Phoenix
3 Stormbreath Dragon
2 Chandra, Pyromaster
4 Shock
4 Chained to the Rocks
4 Lightning Strike
4 Magma Jet
4 Boros Charm
4 Anger of the Gods
3 Warleader’s Helix
2 Mizzium Mortars
Sideboard
4 Skullcrack
4 Boros Reckoner
4 Toil & Trouble
2 Assemble the Legion
1 Mizzium Mortars
