I know the blanking lifegain is nice, but in the first five turns where most burn games are played, the only life gain you are gonna see is deathrite, jitte, and finks, unless I'm missing something, and of those, finks aren't even popular any more, and jitte still takes time to get on line, Deathrite being 2 toughness is easy to deal with, so I just don't think its necessary maindeck.
