Atarka's Command in Burn

Legacy forum

What do you guys think about Atarka's Command in Burn? I think it would be ok with maybe 2 in the main and 1 or 2 in the side. Is it good enough for Legacy play?

There just isn't space for it. Burn gains a lot from being a monocolored deck, and doesn't need to splash to have enough very strong cards. Evading Wasteland entirely is great, and having PoP be at its best is important as well.

When it comes to newish cards, Exquisite Firecraft is the only playable one.

Also to expand on GlistenerAgent's post. In Legacy, there are simply better cards, 4 damage for 2 mana is really subpar when price of progress can hit for 8-10 damage against the greedy manabases of Legacy. Burn as it is needs cards to be matching in the efficency of bolt/chain lightning or be something like eidolon of the great revel, and provide protection against burn's bad matchups.

atarka's command isnt good at all. there are at least 8 better burn spells figthing for the slot, the options it provides arent that relevant in legacy, and forcing you to splash green for it is the cherry on top of the shit cake
