I'll have to try it out. Thanks for the idea.

My initial worries:

  1. Not enough room in the sideboard.
  2. Not a high enough red count.
  3. Pyrokinesis is an awful topdeck, generally even more awful for a deck that doesn't have a way to fill its hand with cards (lacking Goblin Ringleader).

People were actually suggesting the use of Cave-In in Burn to offset the possibility of drawing into a Thunderous Wrath in the opening hand, but this didn't sound too good for Burn. I realized that Pyrokinesis was probably the better option, but would be a better fit for decks that have a sligh-ish nature. It's also good against the current meta, as you mentioned.

Some thoughts about your concerns:
  1. [2x] in the sideboard sounds adequate.
  2. The burn-oriented U/R Delver builds would likely have a better red-card density than the ones that run Snapcaster Mage.
  3. As for the card being a bad top-deck... I guess that that's really just something that we'll have to deal with when using the card, as I can't really think of a solution for this drawback as of now.
