Modern

Boros Burn's persistence in Modern is one of the format's quieter achievements. The archetype has survived a decade of card-pool expansion and metagame shifts by doing exactly one thing well: reducing a 20-life game to roughly seven turns. This Top 8 list from a late-April Magic Online Challenge shows the deck with its current parts. Eidolon of the Great Revel does the unfair lifework against control. Skewer the Critics earns its slot when the curve cooperates, which it usually does. Boros Charm closes out the game faster than it has any right to.
