    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    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...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    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...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    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...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    No.

    I mean... In these slower matchups, how is it better than a card that does burny things? There's vortex, firecraft, etc.

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    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...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    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...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    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...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    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...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    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?

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    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?...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    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...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    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...

    Re: [Primer/Deck] Burn

    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...

    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?

    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.
