As the Burn Deck is becoming increasingly popular, so is there a general incentive to build a deck that can counter it. The Counter Burn Deck negates, switches the damage,and/or increases your life points when your opponent makes a direct damage attack against you. It also (a technique used by most Burn Decks) stalls the other player whilst counter attacks are made. The Counter Burn has mainly been inspired by Prime Material Dragon, the only monster currently able to transfer any type of effect damage into life point gain.
