Budget Deckbuilding: Fiery Fury

If you read through the effect of “Hulking Cyclops” above and thought that it makes for a weird poster boy due to being more than just a little underwhelming … well, you will see. The only thing I can already say is that I am surprised how much better products using the color Red seem to have gotten over time since all of the old ones kind of miss the mark.

Weatherlight: Fiery Fury Review (Part 1 of 2)

Overall, this might be one of the most exciting decks we’ve seen in all of Project Mirage Block thanks to the massive burn package, and we can’t wait to get it into the field for testing.

Weatherlight: Fiery Fury Review (Part 2 of 2)

Hits: An unparalleled burn package sees you all the way through the game; haste creatures keep your opponent guessing, and give you extra attack power by not having to wait a turn for it to come on-line

Cons: Relatively simplistic gameplay; some early drops a bit underwhelming

OVERALL SCORE: 4.60/5.00

You know why this Mountain is here.

[…] Fiery Fury one-ups Flames of Rath in the Sligh / Burn stakes. I’ve certainly got gold border copies of Goblin Vandal, Viashino Sandstalker, Firestorm, Incinerate and Fireblast! What it is missing, weirdly, is two drops. The deck’s ideal turn 2 play is the mana rock Mind Stone, which is a strange situation for a red deck of the type. It does replace itself with another card when you no longer need it, though, which does make it a bit of an inspired choice despite the unconventionality. This does mean that you could be smashing in with the 4/4 Haste Lava Hounds on your 3rd turn – something I can certainly get behind. Other creatures also have haste, or good stats for their costs at the cost of having the sort of drawbacks which you don’t actually care about. Can’t block? Has to attack each turn? That’s what you’re doing anyway. […]

[…] red but are they good enough? I did think so against Flames of Rath, right or wrong. But not Fiery Fury. It’s a much faster deck, more in the traditional Sligh mould than the bigger Flames […]

[…] Fiery Fury is Mirage Block’s final hope in this bracket. It’s not quite a Sligh deck, the curve is a tad too high, but it’s probably the closest you could come with the deck building constraints of Theme Decks. There’s burn, there’s efficiently costed creatures with haste, and there’s… Mind Stone? Yes. That’s a bit weird. Your ideal turn two play is one of these, so you can follow up with a four drop like Lava Hounds turn 3. […]
