I'm having trouble visualizing how your deck could work well in multiplayer. I've used burn decks in multiplayer myself, for the challenge. And a challenge it is...

I can picture your deck doing fine at first, you slaughter a dangerous opponent early on with a rapid assault, then maybe manage to plow through another player before you are dismantled by everyone. The offensive capabilities are nice, but the deck can still only kill one at a time, and its defensive capabilities are not going to help against good decks...

If another deck can develop a more potent offense than you can, if ANY deck on the table can, you have to kill it first. That opens you up against a defensive based deck which can gain board control while you are busy...

i play it as a defensive deck until i get card advantage out then its time to open up a can, it manages very well in small multiplayer games, more then 4 and i have a tough time tho

 

[Oversoul]

Yeah, I guess I can see it in 3 player...

But 6 or so would be too much trouble...

 

[Gaea'sSaproling]

most definently, its actually the crapiest deck i own -.- but it will hold its own in 3-4 player

 

[mythosx]

hmm....
Im wondering about the players your playing against...cuz every time I play burn I get beat instantly right out of the gate on Turn 1...I can usually take one person down...but by turn 4 or 5 im usually at 1 or less....even if you play defensively, you still get mauled...

 

[Oversoul]

Why are they so aggressive toward burn? In most multiplayer games I've been in, there's often a combo or prison deck to worry about. If everyone mauls burn right away they die...

 

[Reverend Love]

Sorry but the second people see burn imprinted the only card advantage you'll have is picking up your deck after getting ganged up on. And if your opponents sit there like sheep while you've got that stuff imprinted they deserve to lose.

You might get more bang for you buck using Mirari...which is curiously absent from many spell based multiplayer burn decks.

 

[Spiderman]

Maybe because it's so expensive or hard to find... I know a guy in my group wants some, but is having a hard time getting them...

 

[Gaea'sSaproling]

ok lets put it this way, oppenent makes agressive move against me with his creatures before i get bridge out, i burn the **** out of his army.

agressive move with spells against me, i burn the **** out of him

i start the game by holding all my burn and being quiet only dropping artifacts and enchantments, once repurcussion drops im viewed as a major threat and usually have enough burn to do something about it

Okay - MP burn:

AETHER FLASH!!!...

Caltrops, etc...

Then you drop the mirari and fork your burnings...
