Very rough climb. I demoted many times over the course of the month. Demoted from D1 3 times including from D1 to D4. After that happened, I cheated and switched to another deck from D4 to D2 before switching back to this from D2 to M5.

There are many tough matchups against meta and rogue decks right now. We also want to go 2nd but we have to compete with Tenpai for that.

Main Deck

I had Pot of Desires early in the season and during my final push. Going to 41 cards slightly reduces the chance of opening multiple copies of HOPT cards. One downside is that it might banish Trap Trick targets.
Lord of the Heavenly Prison (LOTHP) was important in many matchups. 2 LOTHP can make Gustav Max -> Liebe but that didn't come up. I try to summon it during the End Phase or during the Battle Phase to block an attack. I usually set Secret Blast with LOTHP in case it gets destroyed. Boo-Boo Game is a budget option.
I briefly tried Timelords but they weren't as good as Lava Golem.

Hedging against Tenpai:

2 Threatening Roar. The most replaceable card. It was OK overall and sometimes a life-saver vs Tenpai. I wished it was a burn card in many other games. I'd normally run a 3rd Ring of Destruction or 2 Dimension Walls in their place.
I had 2 Lava Golem, 1 Jizukiru for most of the season to tribute Spheres if going 2nd vs Tenpai. I found myself wishing Jizukiru was a 3rd Lava Golem in nearly every other matchup so I switched it.
3 Bad Luck Blast, 2 Ring of Destruction. Bad Luck can burn under Sangen Summoning when targeting FIRE Dragons while Ring of Destruction can't. I also didn't want to have too many targeting cards for other matchups like Melodious, Voiceless or anything that can play around targeting.

Extra Deck:

Most of it is unnecessary. I only used TY-PHON.
Ideally, I would have 2+ TY-PHON, Gustav Max and Liebe to be less likely to banish all copies with Pot of Extravagance.
Ideal to have Gravedigger Trap Hole to protect Gustav Max/Liebe from monster hand traps. You can also Trap Trick into Gravedigger but I'd only do that in a simplified game state.

Other Tips:

Enter Battle Phase before making other moves to pretend you have Evenly Matched. Not as effective right now because Evenly isn't played as much.
Account for Maxx C if using Secret Barrel. It can be chained to Barrel to make it do 200 less damage. Consider Effect Veiler too if you control an Effect Monster and it's your Main Phase.

Standard Chain Burn Deck. Alternated between this and Sky Strikers to get to master 5. Lord of the Heavenly Prison and Boo Boo Game are better than Timelords and Dimension Wall because there's a lot of backrow hate in this meta

The extra deck as always is mostly useless but there are a few rarely used tech choices in there. any two effect monsters can link into Camellia which can link into hayate who can attack directly for 1500 or Kaina who can cut off an attacker. This will rarely happen but it's neat. Two Lords can go into superdreadnaughts and I've had two Lords on board one time before I added them and had wished I did. Charmers might be handy one day. Used the attributes of my 3 non kaijus. the other strikers just to maybe trick kashtira into thinking its a different sort of deck.

Making Odion proud !

Chain Burn is an anti-meta blind second deck. Opponents won't see it coming, won't be ready for it and will scoop faster than ever when they realize their 15 HTS can't help them.

BEST MATCH UPS : Snake-Eyes, Rescue-Ace, Tear, Branded, Kashtira, Stun...

BAD MATCH UPS : Labrynth, Purrely

TECH CHOICES : 3rd Lord, 3rd Trap Trick, 3rd Dimension Wall, 3rd Gravedigger's Trap Hole, Boo-Boo Game, Marrella + Rollback, Michion the TimeLord, Volcanic Queen, Magic Cylinder...

EXTRA DECK : Gustav Max, Juggernaut, Seven Sins, Garura

Lots of mindgames with this deck so be patient at start. Understand each MU, always bait Battle Phase (forcing IP), calculate dmg output in Draw/Standbye Phase and if you can't OTK wait for your opponent to commit more ressources. Bluff/hide delays when you open Chain Strike/Mourner and use combos like Mourner + Ring or Dimension Wall + Mahaama to inflict tons of dmg. Only summon Lord within the BP (to block an attack) or, better, in the End Phase to get your follow up...

extra deck can be whatever you want, the one of maxx c is only because i dont want to craft a third mourner.

General idea: don't shotgun your traps when they have a full board (since they may have a sacrifice outlet or negates). You need to: Shut your opponent out with MaxxC/MoonlitChill and simplify the gamestate (easier path to play, slightly lower success) OR you must allow them to get a LITTLE bit of advantage so you have more damage on cards like Ceasefire or BarrelBehindTheDoor (skillful path, riskier).

-I elected for Bad Luck Blast and Boo Boo Game because I simply did not want to craft Heavenly Prison

-Fix the ExDeck: You need this for when your opp bricks and you open MaxxC/MoonlitChill, Dogmatika, and edge cases like Knightmare Phoenix. Synchros come up more often than you think.

-I have not experimented with Transaction Rollback

My experience with matchups

Branded is laughably easy but you just can't let them put a Quickplay fusion monster onto the board, it'll make your RingOfDestruction/etc whiff.

Snakeye players have NO self control and will put 20 cards on field and in hand. They cannot interact with our backrow meaningfully. Free win

Kash is easy, but Ariseheart popping our backrow is an absolute pain. This is counteracted by Kash players being greedy and tutoring resources more than a Magic the Gathering player, so our burn Traps are approx 20% stronger. We lose if they play carefully.

Traptrix is laughably easy due to us simply not running monsters and their proclivity to pop our landmines with Myrmeleo.

LAB makes me want to scream a little, and is usually a 50/50. MaxxC, Ring of Destruction, LavaGolem, are unreliable & your win-con will be Mahaama and a sneaky Boo-BooGame/Landmine.

Exosister plays like Kash but has two qualities that make them very hard: they gain a little bit of LP sometimes, and do not accrue NEARLY as many resources as Kash. If they don't end on the Rank 8 on turn 1, we can win.

Tear and their Vsauce Starfrost friends are easy because they haphazardly put 4-6 monsters on board and usually set up 2 chain-links for us.

Swordsoul is interesting because I can't seem to win against it, but you practically STOP seeing it after level 17, because it's a bad deck (sorry). You don't need to beat them.

Dinomorphia lol

Mathmech is predictable, but still losing. If they set up, we go next (they usually full combo). If they don't fully set up, it's our game.

Runick is not something I've learned how to engage with yet, I simply cannot pinpoint the win-cons.

Going second burn is the art of letting your opponent cook before you cook them yourself
\n

One thing about playing this deck, bring a calculator.

3rd duelist cup in a row where I got the max lvl with Burn.

This time, we're ditching maxx c. There are a few reasons why. It usually gets negated anyway, so minus 1 for us. and then if it goes through, you get only 1 draw or two. Plus using it will make you susceptible to TTT, you never want them to know you're a Burn deck. Also, if they stopping cooking because you maxx c'd, it could backfire on you because they wont have many cards on the field.

But this is still not conclusive, a lot of other burn player will still stick to it.

NEW TECH #1: We're playing with two Lady Labrynth! Replacing two Lord of the Heavenly Prison (but I could have played one more lord). The idea came from Rykker (who also had a version submitted). They played 3 but you really dont want to draw two of them so I choose to play 2 only. Incorporating her to the combo can take some getting used to but I think she fits really well. Some noteworthy synergies (aside from the trap search) is that she can add to the chain (for chain strike). Also, theres, by chaining to Ceasefire, we get an additional 500 damage.

NEW TECH #2: Bad luck Blast. Honestly wans't too convinced of this card at first. It looks like a worse Ring of Destruction. But give it another read and you'll see that it doesn't require the target monster to have lower ATK than the opponents LP. Also, it calculates based on the ATK from the field. That means that 5300 accesscode they just summoned would give us 2650 damage! The 1000 burn upon destruction is icing on the cake. It definitely deserves a permanent slot here.
