Every so often, the community compares Phyrexian Arena to Read the Bones ; a conversation about explosive versus gradual card draw is had, and we scuttle away to evaluate our card choices. While the popularity of Phyrexian Arena has waned some in the last decade, Underworld Connections may have taken the bigger hit—showing up in decks. Underworld Connections swelled in popularity initially as a staple in Erebos, God of the Dead and Mogis, God of Slaughter decks, due to the devotion mechanic being en vogue.
While not as powerful as the Arena, it certainly had the upside of being able to replace itself immediately in the late game. The issue, as I see it, is that as players tune their decks, this is the kind of card that falls by the wayside. Yes, it can start the card draw immediately, but it requires effort to keep the cards coming every turn. I think it is a fine card to recommend to players working on a budget, as it fills the role of more expensive cards very well in that context.
In the more innocent days of the format, Viashino Heretic was a hot commodity. I would mostly attribute this to the healthy use of Sharuum the Hegemon in the early s. Cute things like that have not kept up with the times though, as even the tangentially similar Shenanigans sees more play and Vandalblast just outright outclasses the Heretic.
My favorite piece of secret tech with Viashino Heretic is that while artifact removal is certainly helpful, the damage coming from the second half of their ability is not dependent on the targeted artifact being destroyed. This lead to at least a few games where a Darksteel Colossus owner found themselves down quite a bit of life before they had the chance to attack with it. Originally, this spot was going to be dedicated to Dwarven Miner , as the card has also disappeared from the format in fairly equal measure.
I would endorse it to help catch a few opponents off guard in the near future. I just think the decks that really highlighted its power have dwindled in popularity to the point that a sighting is far more rare nowadays.
Both decks weaponized the card draw in their own ways, especially since neither deck tended to care much about the contents of own hands, welcoming the ever-changing card selection. I think that factor is what caused this card to become a little more niche. When it was printed, it came near to killing some of the most popular archetypes in Standard. Earlier this season, it forced me to give up on my beloved Esper deck, when W r Weenie decks and Red Devotion strategies just refused to let me have my fun!
But for whatever reason, it seems to fall in and out of favor faster and more often than any other card! So where might Burning Earth have a home? In slower matchups, a relevant noncreature threat is exactly what these decks need. Chandra provides no-questions-asked card advantage, which is something particularly precious in the color red. Her greatest, appeal, however, is how difficult she can be to kill. She passes the turn with 5 loyalty sometimes after killing a creature!
Anyone who has cast a Jace, Architect of Thought when facing a Mutavault on the other side of the table knows how annoying it is that you have to risk losing your planeswalker any time you want to get value out of it. An old weakness of Chandra was that she could be Detention Sphered right away at no loss of value for the control player. However, with so many great answers to Detention Sphere and Banishing Light , savvy players should have no problem mitigating this risk.
Finally, she has some nice synergies with Courser of Kruphix and Domri Rade. Detention Sphere , Banishing Light , Courser of Kruphix , Underworld Connections , Gods, and weapons are just some of the enchantments you face each and every time you enter a Standard tournament. My stance on enchantment removal should already be clear, but note the other sentence of text on Destructive Revelry.
For a moment, consider the difference in power level between Shock and Lightning Bolt. Constructed Magic often runs on thin margins, and getting little bits of extra value is what wins tournaments. However, I would guess that most decks in the RG colors hold at least some aggressive potential, and in a world of planeswalkers, Destructive Revelry does a lot of nice things.
Destructive Revelry is absolutely a maindeck consideration. Burn decks can also consider a green splash instead of or in addition to white. Almost always, after sideboarding, my Domri Rades become awful.
