Hello, everyone! Welcome to another episode of Much Abrew About Nothing. A couple of weeks ago on Against the Odds, we ran into this strange black deck playing Vampire Cutthroat, Alms of the Vein, and Bump in the Night, which I dubbed Black Burn. A few days later, the deck managed to 5-0 a league and ended up as an Instant Deck Tech. By the time the week was over, Black Burn blew all of the other deck techs out of the water, which means this week, we are heading to Modern to play the infamous Black Burn!

The idea of the deck is pretty simple: it's like Boros or Naya Burn, except instead of being red-based, our primary color is black (just barely touching into red for Lightning Bolt and Blood Moon in the sideboard), but it plays a lot of cards that look strange in Modern. Is it really possible that a non-red burn deck can work in the format? Let's get to the videos and find out; then, we'll have some thoughts about the deck.
