Instant Deck Tech: Black Burn (Modern)

by SaffronOlive // Jun 19, 2017

Instant Deck Tech time! A little while ago we ran into an opponent playing a strange Black Burn on Against the Odds, and we pretty much got crushed by Vampire Cutthroat and friends. At the time it seems like a random, funny deck, but then it managed to 5-0 a league on Magic Online, and now it's here, getting its very own Instant Deck Tech! What's this Black Burn deck all about? Let's see!

Don't forget, if you want to see this deck made into videos, you can vote by liking, commenting and subscribing to the MTGGoldfish Youtube Channel!
