Does anyone else ever feel bad about playing hyper aggresive burn decks in casual play with friends?

I recently put together a Red/Blue deck that literally dominated my friends all day long.  I typically play slower Green, White, Blue decks that have an interesting win condition.  I understand that because of my wins it'll make my friends into better players, and obviously it's fun to get the quick definitive turn 4 victory but I still feel like a jerk.

I think I'm going to leave burn alone for awhile (I'm looking at you brimstone volley and mystic retrieval ) and make an obscure merfolk lifegain deck or something.
If it ain't Baroque, don't fix it.

haha i run a / deck also but mines kinda sluggish and im looking to improve... i get lucky some games and get a 5th turn win but its getting rare.. mind uploading the deck if its not already up :P

But no i wouldn't say your being a jerk haha, i'd love it if i could beat my cousin every game as he runs a crazy mill deck haha

17 Creatures which were a mix of -
Delver of Secrets
Kiln Fiend
Chandra's Spitfire
Grim Lavamancer
Cunning Sparkmage
Seagate Oracle

21 Spells which were a mix of-
Lightning Bolt
Incinerate
Brimstone Volley
Increasing Vengeance
Mystic Retrieval
Faithless Looting
Curiosity
Think Twice
Foresee

And 22 lands, four of them being Evolving Wilds , so to provide Grim Lavamancer with graveyard ammo.  The idea behind all the card draw was to give my deck some serious sustainability.  Curiosity turned out to work pretty well, it makes your opponent sweat when a burn deck is getting a card draw each attack phase.  This is off the top of my head and I may have forgot something.

Fast burn doesn't bother me, but running dedicated Land Destruction does.

Try a GW deck based on Armageddon ; I bet your friends would love it.  Don't forget to pack your Terravore s and Knight of the Reliquary s!

Alternatively, monored Wildfire backed with Magnivore to finish them.  Pillage , Stone Rain , Roiling Terrain , and the like all have a home here.

Cheers!

If you wanna piss em off even more.. throw in a few Fire Servant and Curse of Bloodletting . A combo of those would deal 4x damage.
