Zero Emberheart Burn
Chat, Lady Emberheart is so underrated in Standard Fire. Attack an entity with her first, she untaps for free, and then she swings AGAIN at their leader! Add Reckless Tinkerer + Ragefire Gate and Cinderwake Ritualist copying my pings, and they're cooked fast.
Deck
Game plan
Early turns
I flood early with Cinderwake Seer, Alley Thug, Rei and Fanatic Kindler while Glass Blower, Hokuto grabs Collateral Burst, Detonation Pact or Fire Orb.
Middle turns
Omen Peddler zaps a blocker from the Alley. Reckless Tinkerer lands with Charge and pings itself for 1, which turns Ragefire Gate's pump on immediately! Zero's ping on Cinderwake Ritualist adds +1 attack and copies 1 damage.
Closing
Pump Lady Emberheart, eat a tapped enemy to untap her, and swing at face right after. Scarlett, Mo, Tenshin, Detonation Pact and Fire Orb finish.
Mulligan
I keep two 1-cost bodies like Cinderwake Seer and Alley Thug, plus Hokuto or Tenshin. Throw back hands with nothing under 3.
Key cards
Once a turn on my turn, after she attacks an entity, I untap her so she gets a second swing! Let her cook.
Charge, and its On Play deals 1 to itself so Ragefire Gate can pump it the turn it arrives.
Once a turn, copies effect damage it takes in the Garden (up to 2) onto another target.
Charge, and she can take Infiltrate and +1 attack when swinging to punch 4 past Defenders, then is sacrificed at end of turn.
Under Zero, Mo deals 2 to a leader on play AND leaves a 4/4 behind.
Tips
- Cinderwake Seer pings itself every turn, so portaling Hokuto, Tinkerer or Ritualist through Ragefire Gate always pumps it.
- Count your own life before stacking Zero's ability, Detonation Pact and Fire Orb — dropping both leaders to 0 loses you the game.
- Tenshin deals up to 1 to their leader on play and lets Zero swing for 2 more.
