I have never maked a burn deck because I usually like to go aggro on my opponent,but now I have a urge to make a burn deck,so any suggestion beside buying the sd(already have it)
 
The possibilities are varied and endless. The most common Burn Decks run Solar Flare Dragon, Gravity Bind and Level Limit - Area B as a standard. Since most of your Burn Cards are 3-Star Monsters, stall is a large part of the deck, though some people manage to work in a bit of attack in if they can. I advise building the deck with a three part balance, Defense, Destruction, Burn. And make sure to spread that out amongst your three types cards, Monster, Spell, Trap. Cards that cover more then one of those functions are always a preference. Solar Fare Dragon for instance has the added ability of becoming a lock with one or more on the field aside from the fact you'd be doing a 1000 points of damage. Defence and Burn. Nightmare Wheel will stop the attack of one monster and prevent some those pesky battle position change monsters, but does an additional 500 points of damage each of your turns. Defence and Burn. Depending on the how often people use Spell Card destruction in your meta, then Judgement of Anubis has a two part use, Defense and Destruction. Both the Defence and Destruction aspects of your deck would easily be grouped together as stall. I separate them because you don't ant to overlook the fact that stall comes in two forms and that you need to be balanced between them Sometimes your just going to need to stop ad attack. Sometimes you need to get rid of an attack altogether. In my opinion, the best burn deck should be able to stall to the point of aggravating your opponent into quitting. Waboku, Threatening Roar and Sakuretsu Armor are essential in a deck like this.

I would also be cautious about trying to work in the advise of players who, although well meaning, may be convinced that only one type of deck is competitive and as such, have never given burn the serious consideration that a true burn player has. They often try too hard to make the deck just another beat down, with some burn thrown in, when in reality, the less attacking you do in a Burn Deck, the more likely that half of your opponent's cards are going to useless to him. CC, beatdown players may only play burn casually, and never worked all the angles of a true burn deck. Look for the hard core burn players and see what their insights are. Burn players, conversly, might be stuck on a certain kind of burn deck, but bear in mind that burn can have many variations. The possibilities have not yet been fully explored.
 
My favourite kind of burn is in the form of bad reaction to simochi and as much life point giving material as possible. 3 bad reactions and a snatch steal 2 upstart goblin an eye of truth or two. Rain of mercy even. Burning algae is nice too. Its some very good stuff. of course you need to add in a stealth bird or two if youre going for overkill on stall. And the one godly card you need to have is lava golem.

Like the ideas so far?
 
You know it's an aggro format...what I learned the other day in a tournament though was quite interesting. It's also a good format for Lava Golem....and the new card of Misfortune makes it doubly fun. I'm really considering using this along with bind and possibly even Spatial Collapse and Ojam Trio.

I'd side decked a pair of Lava Golems in my Ameba deck recently....boy was I glad I did that. I ran into an unexpected Horus deck which shut down everyone else in the tournament. My Creature Swaps and Mystic Boxes weren't going to do a great deal this time.....but after first game (which I managed to just slip by and win) I side decked in the Lava Golems. The funny part was Lava Golem hasn't seen action anywhere in so long most of the players didn't know what it was or did! <laffin>
 
i know. I gave a guy my lava golem and said ok your two monsters are tributed have fun and he just looked at me looked at the card looked at me again and asked me if i was serious. Its such fun seeing that reaction.
 
...and then you need to flip up the Mask Of Restrict...which is ANOTHER unexpected and effective card in this format.
 
Burn in the side deck won a young man the

I've noticed a decrease of about 50% of the play of Mobius The Frost Monarch since the play of chainable traps is rapidly on the rise....this is very good for players who enjoy playing burn.
