Hmm... So, reanimator (only deck I know that has Iona), is just a bad matchup. Typically you want to stop or win before Iona, Shield of Emeria comes into play, there's not really a way to answer that...

I was wrong about Skewer the Critics. Tried it last night (4 Skewers), seems great. I'm trying out 3 Light up the Stage (LutS), I only drew 1, hit a bolt and land off of it. It didn't feel good or...
I don't think Legacy/Modern Burn really wants this. I like Rift Bolt over this still. Spectacle doesn't change timing restrictions, and there will be some "AH HA GOT YOU!" Moments, but I don't think...
No.
I mean... In these slower matchups, how is it better than a card that does burny things? There's vortex, firecraft, etc.
EtW? Empty the Warrens?
Hmm... You shouldn't pack matchup specific cards in the mainboard unless those matchups make up the majority of your meta. A card in the main you should expect it to be...
I haven't gotten a chance to try it (couldn't find it in foil...). I'll try to pick up some copies and try it out, I just feel it's a better late game card where we try not to go to the late game...
I think it's interesting. I've thought about running something closer to modern Burn in legacy, but just haven't gotten to it (I'm lazy... and Plateaus don't come in foil...).
I feel the meta...
I play 3 in the sideboard.
I think in the main 1 or 2 is fine as well (in the past they've taken the slot of Sulfuric Vortex).
My caution is that in some matchups the card is a little too slow...
By Force isn't a good replacement for Shattering Spree in my opinion (if you even run Shattering Spree), the fact Spree has replicate, where By Force is just X targets, means one is easier to disrupt...
It depends on the matchup. Against Czech pile... maybe once. D&T a ton, Eldrazi a ton, Elves... until they hoof me. Miracles... maybe once to a ton. Delver variants 0-3 times. My favorite is against...
I'm actually trying a 3/3 split of Monastery Swiftspear and Grim Lavamancer. I feel swiftspear is still good, but I'm feel for fair matchups, we do want to be able to clear the board for Goblin Guide...
People brought this up on the LavaSpike sub reddit.
What match ups does it benefit? What spell does the opponent have that you're really after?
What are you taking out for it?
What's the...
Has anyone thought of just splashing blue for 4 Brainstorms? I think it feels bad with Eidolon of the Great Revel. But like, maybe take out Lava Spike for them? Or a mix of Lava Spike and Rift Bolt?...
It's definitely "viable", but you really want to side board for your expected meta. Reanimator is currently hiding and waiting for the meta to be too comfortable not expecting it (I'm told the chat...
I've gold-fished with it, but I haven't actually played it, I think I tried it once in pauper burn though just to make a point (I'm bias against the card).
I think it works better in a UR Delver...
It's not a bad option. The two biggest things against it are it's sorcery speed and Chancellor of the Annex. I think it's also the big reason we see Faerie Macabre and Leyline of the Void being the...
Yeah... I tend to just give up our really bad match ups. I'd rather improve all my other ones, especially with delver and miracles back on the rise and Czech Pile still being so popular. Reanimator...
I've tried it before. It's not that great.
Think about the matchups you've listed, most of them you're already favored (except Storm), where Price of Progress is already a house. Your opponents...
Do you even need to side board against Grixis Delver? jk jk.
1.
Here's my friends list from the CK invitational, which I think is pretty well rounded and good for a meta with D&T, Delver, and...
Your first point is actually an issue I've had with running Barbarian Ring, if it ends up being one of your two opening lands it's a really huge set back. You really want it to just be an...
No Eidolon of the Great Revel?
I've definitely felt that Legacy Burn has a lot less instants than Burn in other formats, but if you're going to color splash, what are you gaining?
Skullcrack I...
Dabatebro's side is one I've commonly seen. It has 8 cards in the side dedicated to the combo match up (Pyrostatic Pillar and Leyline of the Void). Smash to Smithereens, artifact hate is a must have....
I went down this path once... Ended up building Jund...
Your meta seems to have a lot of creature match ups, where I feel Sullivan's list is more geared for taking on a Combo heavy meta. Also, the match ups tend to be very difficult for burn.
UR Delver...
Infect is favorable, but still very swingy. You don't try to race them. You tend to play the control deck. They have 8 infect threats I believe (Inkmoth Nexus, Blighted Agent, Glistener Elf), and the...
