Some cards to consider in burn decks - MrXentrix ---------- Original Message ---------------------------------- From: "Kimball Yang" Date: Mon, 4 Apr 2005 04:26:36 -0400 I've been playing Hybrid burner deck for about a year now fairly sucessfully. To the average deck, I toast almost everyone, but to high level competitive chaos-warrior decks I usually get toasted. However by running some of the cards below, your chances of survival on even the strongest of decks increases substantially. Sometimes all it takes is the appearance of Jinzo to collapse your burner deck. With cards that can counter him, you can recover. Now I've been play testing many different cards over time and so far I've found the most effect cards to protect your burner decks are: Dark Core, generally your worst enemy is Jinzo. Run multiples of these in your burner and reserve it for that pesky bastard. The second he comes out, take a hit and then nuke him fast on your turn. Fake Trap, a horribly underrated card that everyone overlooks. But this card is powerful if you use it right. Just set down that Gravity bind. When that MST, Heavy Storm or Breaker comes in, bam, activate Fake Trap in response. You keep your G-Bind for free. Book of Moon, I love using BoM when Jinzo comes out. Since I run Horus in my deck too this is very neat. Jinzo comes out, booked....next turn I summon Horus LV4 and the carnage begins! Basically run this as a spell trap so that even the mighty Jinzo can be stopped. Divine Wrath, this really goes without saying. When you've got the field locked down in a burn. All it takes is one nasty Cyber Jar to ruin the fun. Run it, love it, live it. Solemn Judgement, most commonly played in Last Turn decks. However this card can definately see some light into burn deck seeing as stalling is a focus. Maintaining your LP should be no problem. That's all I can think of for now -MrXentrix xentrix@rcn.com
