Description

{"ops":[{"insert":"Cast a Mardu Devotee for fixing. Cast one of many cheap burn spells in white and red like Joust Through (3 damage gain 1 life), Lightning Helix (3 damage gain 3 life), or Osseous Exhale (5 damage) onto your own indestructible attacking Barbed Servitor or Screaming Nemesis to deal damage to your opponent. Double that damage if you have an Immodane the Pyrohammer on the battlefield. If you have a Heartflame Duelist or Judith, Carnage Connoisseur on the battlefield, those burn spells will have lifelink, and you will gain life every time you cast a burn spell on your own creature, while also burning out your opponent. Protect yourself and your creatures from exile effects by giving yourself and your permanents hexproof with Surge of Salvation. Draw cards by killing your opponents creatures with burn spells if Taii Wakeen, Pefect Shot is on the battlefield.\n\nIf you have a Barbed Servitor and Immodane, the Pyrohammer on the battlefield, one Osseous Exhale cast on the Barbed Servitor will deal 10 damage to the opponent. \n\n**Note: I consider this the \"Budget Version\" of this deck because a non-budget version would feature 4 copies of Screaming Nemesis and a much more expensive mana base.**\n\n"}]}
