Burn pt 3

Now that we have covered the base of Burn, let’s move into splashing a color. Burn’s primary splash color is White, fueled by cards like [[card_link: Boros Charm]] and [[card_link: Lightning Helix]]. They are the most efficient burn spells that are not mon-red, and in terms of multi-colored burn spells, they fit the best. Now, because it is 2 color, we are looking to gain some fetchlands from this as well. Though not necessary to pick up [[card_link: Arid Mesa]], being able to fetch a basic plains is important, especially if playing [[card_link: blood moon]] in the main board.

[[card: Boros Charm]]

For RW, this is a versatile spell that can deal 4 damage to a player, or make your permanents indestructible. While the most common use of this card is for the 4 damage, don’t forget the other modes as well.
Suggested Edit: -4 [[card_link: Shard Volley]] +4 [[card_link: Boros Charm]]

[[card: Lightning Helix]]

This card does it all, deals 3 damage, gains life back, and even nets 1 life if you have [[card_link: Eidolon of the Great Revel]] on board. Efficiency is key to Burn, and this card is as efficient as it gets. Think of it as a 6 life point swing, and the game can easily change from there.
Suggested Edit: -3 [[card_link: Blood Moon]] +4 [[card_link: Lightning Helix]]
We took out the blood moons, since we are playing 2 colors now. They are best served in the sideboard. As I said earlier, [[card_link: Arid Mesa]] is the best fetchland for you, but you can use other red fetches like [[card_link: Bloodstained Mire]] and, more importantly, [[card_link: Wooded Foothills]], as we will cover in the next article. For now, our main deck now looks like this:

[[deck: 17740]]

Much of the meta has moved towards this build currently, though Naya (RWG) Burn still has a place as well. I hope you enjoyed this article! Next time will be looking into the black splash!
