Love the card in general, can't see what a creature that costs 3 mana and requires something else to be going on to be playable works at all in Burn.
These are the only Legacy decks I've played to any degree:
The Gate (my old standby, sadly sucks donkey in this meta)
Maverick
Elves (love it, now it's mad popular though)
Oops all Spells
UWR...
O-Ring is legitimate hate for Show and Tell, but I don't like it because it's so utterly narrow. 3 mana is a pretty tall order in a burn deck, and so you're almost never going to get any use out of...
Boros Charm, basically.
Well, that, and the fact that Erase or Wear // Tear nuke enchantments for only W, which leaves you more room to keep burning at the same time. Or, and this is sometimes...
Yeah, I'm still not sold on the arguments that a splash is really all that bad. In mono-red, you run the risk of an opponent simply dropping Leyline or some new anti-Delver tech like Energy Storm,...
My experience is no substitute for the combined experience of the community, sure, but I do take issue with the idea that a deck running "soft counters" beats burn on a single land. Spell Pierce /...
Variance at the top end.
Let me explain. The guiding principle in my build is to play Burn like a combo deck; one that uses burn spells to kill the opponent without interaction as quickly as...

Round 1 - Win...
I'm a huge fan of using Faerie Macabre, because my preferred Burn list is designed for speed and to be ready to take massive advantage of good variance instead of running a list that maximizes...
So, I took my Red/White brew, with full playsets of Guide and Swiftspear, to an 8-man sanctioned legacy tourny today. I won the tournament at 3-0, so the deck works fine. But, my pairings were......
So I've been goldfishing a WR burn list lately with Monestary Swiftspear, and I'm liking the results. My only actual matches so far have been against Lands, though, so take that for what it's worth!...
