How it Works

The "Breath of Fire" deck is all about dealing damage. Direct-damage spells like Lightning Bolt, Chandra's Outrage, Lava Axe, and Fireball form the backbone of your deck. You shouldn't be afraid to use Lightning Bolts on creatures early in the game, but always be aware of how close your opponent is to 0 life. Use your blue spells to keep the damage coming—Preordain and Foresee will find you more damage spells, and Call to Mind gives you another chance to use one that you've already cast.

Your creatures support your theme. Every time you deal damage to your opponent that's not combat damage, Chandra's Spitfire gets +3/+0. All your damage spells trigger that ability, as does Prodigal Pyromancer's ability. If you draw your Fire Servant, try to save your damage spells for after you cast it so that you get twice as much damage out of them. The best creature in your deck is Ancient Hellkite. Not only is it a 6/6 Dragon with flying, but while it's attacking, it can rain down as much damage on your opponent's creatures as you have red mana to spare.

Other cards from Magic 2011 can help you improve your "Breath of Fire" deck. Act of Treason is a sorcery that lets you gain control of one of your opponent's creatures for a turn and attack with it. If you're having trouble with swarms of little creatures, try Pyroclasm, a sorcery that deals 2 damage to every creature. Finally, Inferno Titan is a 6/6 creature for six mana that's a relentless source of damage. When it enters the battlefield or attacks, it deals 3 damage to anything, and you can even divide that 3 damage among multiple creatures and players.
