Instant (11)

Finished for tournaments. I still need 3 Arid Mesa but I am fine without it.

Mainboard

Lands: I feel that 20 is the right number here. Any less is tough to function on because you DO want to fire off 2 spells for 3 mana on turn 3.
Creatures: The big 3 (Monastery Swiftspear, Eidolon of the Great Revel, and Goblin Guide) are obvious includes as 4-ofs. I am choosing to play 2 Grim Lavamancer because it can do work in a lot of matchups, but topdecking it late game is awful because it can't do anything for a turn. I may cut it out of the deck if somebody gives me a good reason.
Spells: Playing the full set of Rift Bolt, Lightning Bolt, Lava Spike, and Boros Charm as those are the obvious includes. I am currently running 4 Lightning Helix as a way to give me an edge against other aggro decks. I have 2 Searing Blaze because it can really turn games around, but I often don't have the land trigger. Skullcrack is necessary because I'm consciously not going Naya for Atarka's Command (and it kills Firewalkers).

Sideboard

Deflecting Palm against Tron, Bloom, Affinity (Cranial Plating), and Infect
Destructive Revelry against A LOT of things. They include Tron, Affinity, any control (for Leyline of Sanctity), rare Dragon's Claw in the mirror, or any other random brews involving artifacts or enchantments.
Kor Firewalker comes in against any aggro decks playing red. I will play it against Burn, Goblins, and often Zoo. If the burn player doesn't have a Skullcrack ready it's often gg.
Rending Volley is for Twin.
Path to Exile is very strong against opposing Firewalkers, Wurmcoil Engine, Primeval Titan, and Twin.

Swapping Things Around + Considering More — Dec. 12, 2015

Edit

After coming back to look at the list I had up on the site, I realized I had changed it around a bit. I also realize that I sounded kind of pretentious in my last update so I apologize about that, I guess I thought I had 'solved' burn when it does fluctuate (and I clearly had some wrong elements in the deck). Anyways, I have gotten to a point where I am a fine burn player, I Anticipate what my opponents have well, and sequence spells correctly. However, I am now looking to expand from my LGS to some larger tournaments and really hope that any experienced modern burn players can help me out (and explain to me why Naya is better, I know it is but would like to see what matchups it improves, etc.)
