New take on Burn, need veteran advice
Modern Deck Help forum
Posted on Dec. 2, 2015, 9:53 p.m. by Serendipitous_Hummingbird
So after getting tired of playing Rift Bolt and other subpar burn spells I decided to make a deck that was the best burn spells plus free draw spells, making sure I only got the best burn. Turns out free draw spells like Manamorphose and Gitaxian Probe go VERY well with prowess cards
I was wondering if some experienced burn players (quesobueno123 perhaps?) would be willing to take a look at the deck and weigh in on it. This is either a brilliant idea or a total dead end, and I don't have the experience or expertise to know which.

I think the major flaw is assuming the other burn spells are sub par in the fist place. Yes Rift Bolt is not as good as Lightning Bolt but it's still one mana 3 damage and doesn't make you go into more than three colors. And searing blaze is so far from sub par it's crazy. Yes, in some situations (facing down a goyf) it's only three damage to the face for two mana. But it puts you so far ahead against any aggro deck. It's also technically 6 damage for two mana. Which is a lot. Skullcrack is in no way bad as it shores up your defenses against stuff like siege rhino. You're also not running eidolon in your list which doesn't make any sense. That card is one of the main reasons burn is tier one. It's an auto win against so many decks and puts you so far ahead against every other deck you just can't not run it.
Basically your list looks more like suicide zoo than burn. So I suggest you check suicide zoo out. It's great that you where innovative but I don't think it will work out. My creds are that I've been playing burn since the mono red days so I think I know a thing or two.
