Dies to Removal

Let's move this discussion to the burn thread.

What are your thoughts on Pyrostatic Pillar in place of Mindbreak Trap? Storm can combo off before you get to play a second land, but Pillar is also much better versus Elves and other combo decks.

I've always liked it as an answer to both Elves and graveyard strategies in Painter, but I can see where the criteria changes with burn decks.

I might be able to trade for a lot of that on Deckbox, though.

Plus maybe bridges, cages and Smash to Smithereens for the side.

2 guides, a set of Eidolons, a few price of progress and 3 chain lightnings.

But seriously, if anybody would be kind enough to mail me a few cards for the tourney, I'd be tremendously grateful.

I also went to FNM for the first time in 6 months last night and did well enough to score myself a pair of Goblin Guides and some other random crap, so it looks like I'll be a burn player soon.

Oh yeah, I meant the gp

I could probably put together the mono green infect deck from m13 standard, swapping in Groundswell and Invigorate. I can't remember whether or not I traded away my Nexuses, though.

I'm going to scg New Jersey in November, and I still don't have a deck, and I'm not looking to put much money into a deck I probably won't play much outside of this event. I'm not looking to finish in the money, but I want to play something that might be able to win a few rounds (so something with a few good match ups, and a number of bad ones).
The thing is, I own pretty much no legacy cards aside from a set of snapcasters, as well as no fetches (so this thing would probably have to be multi-player.
My first choice would be burn, if someone on this site comes through and lends me a few Chain Lightnings and a set of Goblin Guides. I'm not buying those cards just for a tournament in which I plan to scrump out. But seeing as how my borrowing thread request got no attention, I probably can't bet on playing burn.
Are there any really cheap (<$40) rogue decks out there that could maybe steal a few wins
against a popular deck?
