A Burn Deck is comprised of instant damage such as a card that deals damage once it is played like Fireball, Lightning Bolt, and creatures with haste. My Burn Deck is all red, but there are other colors you can use as well.
Pyretic Ritual is perfect for a deck like this because once you pay the cost to play it, it adds more mana to you mana pool until end of turn. Therefor being able to play more cards in that turn. Since your best bet is to play a lot of cards that do damage without costing a lot you will be able to play a couple more in a turn and making it even that more effective.
Cards like Act of Treason and Mark of Mutiny allow you to gain control of target creature until end of turn and give them haste. This is just to humiliate your opponent even more by using his own creatures against him! All of my creatures in this deck have haste and even some of them have to be sacrificed at the end of the turn. So in that sense, I like to use Fling and Assault Strobe. Using Assault Strobe to give the creature double strike to deal even more damage, then using Fling. To use Fling, you have to sacrifice a creature and it deals damage equal to its power to target creature or player. If your opponent doesn't have any creatures on the battlefield, let's say you attack with a 5/1 creature. Use Assault Strobe to give it double strike dealing 10 points of damage to your opponent and then casting Fling will deal another 5 damage. Your opponent is already down to 5 life! If you have a creature with 7/1, you can definitely call that game over!
