{"ops":[{"insert":"Wanted to make a mono red burn style commander deck, but with additional effects like Torbran's to increase the output of burn spells and sweepers. How does this look for a budget Torburn?\n\nhttps://archidekt.com/decks/2119272#Torbran\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"I would caution about spells like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Angrath's Marauders"}},{"insert":". \nAs I understand, the way these stack with Torbran is that the owner of the target chooses the order of these effects.\nSo for example:\nYou ping all players 1 damage with "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Firebrand Archer"}},{"insert":" with Angrath and Torbran on the battlefield. "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"The opponents can choose to first apply the effect from Angrath, to double the damage to 2, then apply Torbran's effect to increase it by 2, "},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"The result will be 4 damage total"},{"attributes":{"list":"ordered"},"insert":"\n"},{"insert":"\nBtw I'm building Torbran as well, waiting for a couple of cards to arrive, before I can test him in battle: https://archidekt.com/decks/2174537#Torbran_Burn\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"If you can get hold of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Pyrohemia"}},{"insert":" do so, I would say it's possibly the best card for Torbran. It's a mana sink as well as a ton of pressure, it does everything you want it to do, just don't put more than three mana into it in a turn or it will kill your commander. \nI'd go for more punisher cards, "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Zo-Zu the Punisher"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Harsh Mentor"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Manabarbs"}},{"insert":","},{"insert":{"card-link":"Eidolon of the Great Revel"}},{"insert":", "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Spellshock"}},{"insert":" and "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Sulfuric Vortex"}},{"insert":" are all effective at passively burning your opponents. \n Also a card like "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Price of Progress"}},{"insert":" can be a massive blow out in the right situation. \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"Instead of "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Eidolon of the Great Revel"}},{"insert":", I would consider "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Pyrostatic Pillar"}},{"insert":". It's harder to remove, as it's not a creature and costs just 0.30eur vs 17eur for Eidolon.\n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"In mono red I would definitely run "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Valakut Exploration"}},{"insert":" for card draw. It also has damage which works with your commander. You should also look at some of the chandras. "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Chandra, Dressed to Kill"}},{"insert":" is in the most recent set and gives you mana and card draw along with burn damage. Finally I would include "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle"}},{"insert":" \n"}]}

{"ops":[{"insert":"In your draw category, I would swap any loot or rummage effects for more spells like Reckless Impulse. Your deck will get way better value out of implulse draw than discarding cards. With all the spell slinging your deck wants to do, every card you pitch to the yard is wasted.\n\nI would also find room for Aria of Flame. That card does work in spellslinger decks. \n"}]}
