Best Burn Deck Deck Guide

Direct damage chains that burn opponents down regardless of their HP.

Class: Elemental Playstyle: Direct damage chains Cards: 12

Burn Deck uses Elemental chain mechanics to deal direct damage to opponent HP regardless of how many cards they have on the field. Chain effects bounce damage between multiple targets, creating explosive burst windows that can deal 20+ damage in a single turn. This deck doesn't care about the board state — it burns opponents down through raw damage numbers. Effective against tall defenders and healing-heavy builds.

Best for: Players who want a reliable finisher that doesn't rely on the board.

How to Play

Mulligan & Game Plan

Mulligan Steps

1. Keep Elemental cards costing 2-4 — they drive your burn chain.
2. Prioritise cards with Chain or Wildfire abilities.
3. Keep burn finishers that deal damage to the opponent directly.
4. Mull hard for a 3-4 card curve in the 2-4 cost range.

Game Plan

1. Build burn chains through turns 2-5 with Elemental chain abilities.
2. Stack Chain multipliers before deploying your burst finisher.
3. Wildfire triggers deal AOE damage — use them to clear boards and burn simultaneously.
4. Burn opponents below 30% HP and deploy your finisher for lethal.
5. In Arena, Burn decks are effective against Guardian walls and healing strategies.
