Great quality post, that is meant to bring everybody together, doesn't weaken actual facts and keeps the peace, cheers.

@Sidneyious
I recently posted my "new" updated List adjusted for a...

So after quiet some testing and vivid discussions this is my final decklist for the time being.
It is tuned for a Meta where neither maindeck Grim Lavamancer nor Searing effects are worth it (and...

Pretty much my reasoning, thanks for the post. Also illustrates why this is not about playing around counters, but a strategic decision we have to make.
Keep it coming guys.

So I've read...

Interesting as that is the opposite of what I have been doing so far.

I am well aware of PSullivan's general article on the subject of burn vs counters,
but I'd like to talk...

I was under the impression that the situation is narrowed down enough already to deserve more specific answers.
As I said we are on one land for the one drop creatures or two for the two drop...

Hey people, i'd like to hear your opinion on how to deploy your threats againt daze.
Monastery Swiftspear, Goblin Guide, Eidolon of the Great Revel (and to a lesser extend Sulfuric Vortex) are best...

Lately I have played quiet much of "Burn without fetchlands".
My impression is that it works quiet well indeed. I didn't play the mirror though.

My decklist:

4 Goblin Guide
4 Eidolon of the...

I already had Pyrostatic Pillars boarded in against Omnitell (in addition to pyroblasts), and they are indeed quiet nice.

So I thought I might as...

When running searing effects main, they very much do nothing in helping you achieving the goal of winning first (no targets when targets are needed).
So I'd call it reasonable to side them all out...

So I did decide to make a doublepost for this as it is a new topic. Whatever.

How the hell are we supposed to act against Standstill? (I won the match 2-1 against UW Landstill, but I am still not...

So the great talk about which gravehate to choose and why starts here and goes on till my last post.
Not sure if that's worth a link but those two pages are the best way (imho) to get an opinion...

Thanks to bigwerds for the part of the article, where you explain what kind of niche the burn deck exploits.
Pretty much sums up the way I was behaving with and understanding the burn deck...

Looking at the Pro Tour (wich was Modern ofc.) the players choose Swiftspear over Lavamancer in 4-1 or 4-2 splits.
Looking at this thread it seems the opinions are not that clear.
Is that cause of...

I have 4 slots to fill and am not sure about what card(s) to run.

Whats the best out of this 4 in a legacy burn deck or what are the advantages and disadvantages of them? Hellspark Elemental,...

Great that the fetchless build also can get reasonable finishes. Compared to Brainstorm or 3+ color decks the gain of using fetchlands in Burn boils down to be able to support 4 Grim Lavamancers...

That's indeed a good point.
We won't win a counter war against Sneak and Show, but Pyroblast's are probalby disruptive enough to buy us the time we need.
(I think burn has in general not many outs...

I think time will show if Eidolon is suited for the main deck or not.
It does indeed it's work against decks like Delver wich are mostly >= CMC 3 as we are, but it eventually opens a window where...

To be honest i tried to create something that beats the most problematic Decks in general. Show and Tell and Storm are faster, stoneblady stuff gains life and the REB also helps against counter top...

Hello everbody,

I have messed around quiet some time with a burn deck and want to join the Discussion.

First things first, this is the decklist I settled on:

4 Lightning Bolt
4 Chain...
