Counter Burn

Counterburn is a fast, interactive blue-red-black tempo deck built around pressure, burn, and just enough countermagic to keep the opponent off balance.

The deck starts attacking early with Ironclaw Orcs, Mishra’s Factory, and Serendib Efreet, then uses Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning, Psionic Blast, Counterspell, Mana Drain, and Shatter to control the pace of the game.

It does not try to answer everything forever. It wants to make the opponent uncomfortable, force them to spend resources defensively, and then finish the game with direct damage.
