My deck: That Lovin' Feeling.
as an 8rack player, burn is easily my most difficult matchup, because it's the only deck that flies over me without worry. I'm trying to think of sideboard cards against it, but frankly none of them are good enough. cards suggested to me/I've discovered: Bloodchief Ascension, Golden Urn, Dragon's Claw, Sun Droplet, and Syphon Life.
any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated. however it should be known that I have no intention of splashing white or blue, so please don't mention those.

You ever think about just splashing white for Leyline of Sanctity?

It's a bit on the slow side, but I've found Thragtusk to be extremely useful in my Gifts deck. I don't know how useful it would be in a different kind of deck though.

What about Leyline of Sanctity? :)
Sun Droplet is a game-ender against Burn. That's easily your best option without adding another color.

If you can play a Sun Droplet and get rid of their Destructive Revelrys, that's basically game. You don't really even need to splash for Leyline of Sanctity, so that's another option.

ThisIsBullshit, slovakattack, and GlistenerAgent: I know Leyline of Sanctity is boss, however I'm already splashing for red and green. Splashing a 4th color in a very black dedicated deck is basically impossible, and the other two colors are too valuable in what they do to cut them.

Dragon's Claw and Sun Droplet should also work.

I, for one, was joking. :)
Sun Droplet, again, is your best bet.

Not even for Leyline of Sanctity?
