Dies to Removal

I know that feeling. What is you main deck btw (you probably posted it earlier)? I haven't the necessary experience with the deck myself, so I can't really help. I'm unsure about those Ride Down and Deflecting Palm myself, but I haven't really seen them in action either. Have you considered Reprisal/Pillar of Light/Glare of Heresy in their place? Not really the same use, but something I noticed when playing against Abzan Midrange was that they often just played Glare of Heresy to remove CttR or BL.

Fated Conflagration? Removes Siege Rhino as well, among other creatures. One instead of the third Banishing Light?

I think the 3 arc lightning should be searing blood. It's really good right now, especially when the idea is to race G1. I would also do -1 mountain +1 crag/plains/mana confluence.

Both suggestions are good. I thought about the land issue myself. Arc Lightning might not be needed maindeck since small dudes aggro isn't so popular right now. About Searing Blood...it's obviously good against Jeskai, but against Abzan it felt like a wasted slot. Sided it out in all my matches. It kills nothing on its own, but together with the creatures it can take down Courser and the Rhino, but that's a 2-for-1. So I'm not so fond of it, but please enlight me.

Tried this in a 3 rounder yesterday:

[deck]
Creatures
4 Goblin Rabblemaster
4 Monastery Swiftspear
4 Seeker of the Way

Planeswalkers
1 Chandra, Pyromaster

Spells
3 Arc Lightning
4 Chained to the Rocks
1 Deflecting Palm
4 Lightning Strike
4 Magma Jet
4 Searing Blood
4 Stoke the Flames

Lands
4 Battlefield Forge
12 Mountain
2 Plains
4 Temple of Triumph
1 Wind-Scarred Crag

Sideboard
1 Fated Retribution
2 Ashcloud Phoenix
2 Banishing Light
2 Magma Spray
2 Harness by Force
2 Erase
2 Glare of Heresy
2 Hushwing Gryff
[/deck]

Sideboard is mostly for trying out various cards, and I had access to only 2 Hushwings. Played 3 Abzan Midrange decks, won the first match 2-1, then lost 0-2 against the last two opponents. Had to mulligan a lot of opening hands. Had a few games that I got them down to 5 and lower, but I just couldn't finish them off.

Last week I did some testing with this:

[deck]
Lands (23)
4 Battlefield Forge
4 Temple of Triumph
1 Wind-Scarred Crag
12 Mountain
2 Plains

Creatures (20)
4 Monastery Swiftspear
4 Seeker of the Way
4 Borderland Marauder
4 Goblin Rabblemaster
2 Ashcloud Phoenix
2 Iroas, God of Victory

Spells (17)
4 Stoke the Flames
4 Lightning Strike
3 Magma Jet
3 Chained to the Rocks
3 Hordeling Outburst

Sideboard
1 Erase
2 Harness by Force
1 Chained to the Rocks
2 Banishing Light
2 Purphoros, God of the Forge
1 Mountain
1 Ashcloud Phoenix
3 Arc Lightning
2 Magma Spray
[/deck]

Won 4-2 against Abzan Midrange then (2-1 before sideboards, and 2-1 after), but I lost to Mono Black Aggro (Master of Feast...just urgh...) and Gb Devotion/Enchantment.

With those two sessions in mind I'd like to try this before GP Stockholm, but I probably won't have time to do it:

[deck]
Creatures (14)
4 Monastery Swiftspear
4 Seeker of the Way
4 Hushwing Gryff
2 Ashcloud Phoenix

Planeswalkers (1)
1 Chandra, Pyromaster

Spells (22)
3 Arc Lightning
3 Hordeling Outburst
4 Chained to the Rocks
4 Lightning Strike
4 Magma Jet
4 Stoke the Flames

Lands (23)
4 Battlefield Forge
12 Mountain
2 Plains
4 Temple of Triumph
1 Wind-Scarred Crag

Sideboard
2 Iroas, God of Victory
2 Banishing Light
2 Harness by Force
2 Erase
4 Glare of Heresy
3 Reprisal/Pillar of Light
[/deck]

Feels like this would be better against Abzan and Gb/Gr Monsters decks, and maybe against Mono Black as well. Mono Red (low curve aggros, probably only competitive version right now) is probably favorable as well. Don't know about Jeskai, haven't played against those.

Any thoughts on this latest deck? Sideboard is a bit iffy, but maindeck feels quite ok.

I'll try some version of this tomorrow at a small local tournament. Don't have any Hushwings, so I'm not so sure how well it'll do. To be honest, I'd probably go with Jeskai myself if I had the cards.

Let's figure it out. I'm most likely to play this at GP Stockholm.

Why isn't DP cutting it? Just too reactive?

And replaced with...?

I took this to a 5-0 finish at FNM:
[deck]
Creature 12
4 Monastery Swiftspear
4 Seeker of the Way
4 Goblin Rabblemaster

Spells 26
1 Chandra, Pyromaster
2 Deflecting Palm
3 Arc Lightning
4 Chained to the Rocks
4 Searing Blood
4 Magma Spray
4 Lightning Strike
4 Stoke the Flames

Land 22
1 Mana Confluence
2 Plains
4 Temple of Triumph
4 Battlefield Forge
11 Mountain

Sideboard
2 Circle of Flame
3 Magma Spray
1 Chandra, Pyromaster
3 Hushwing Gryff
2 Erase
2 Banishing Light
2 Ashcloud Phoenix
[/deck]

7 Magma Sprays...

Resolute Archangel is nice but at 7 mana when we only run 4 painlands and we have mb seeker it probably doesn't belong in a deck like this.

I could be wrong but I don't think Resolute Archangel was a suggestion for this deck, but a card we might see in other white-based control deck like UW and Esper.

So, let's split out the discussion of a RW burn deck from the Jeskai Burn thread. It's unclear which is better Jeskai Burn or Boros Burn but until that is known, it's better to keep the discussion separate.

So some decklists.
