Splashing with Fire
Modern Deck Help forum

card:And A Splash of Fire is my new burn deck. Its testing super well. It doesn't have all those extra cards mashed in. It's 3 damage for 1 mana burn, 4+ for 2 mana burn and only the most elite creatures. I need some help tho.
If you wanted to, you could potentially include an x/Island shockland and then look at running Tribal Flames. Just a though since you've already got 4 land types.

You can copy and paste that and it will link your deck properly.

And A Splash of Fire thanks guys. Tribal Flames is a lot harder to get the mana for than just the 4 color. I splash green and black. only one of each color in main. im just trying to make a burn list that only has the best cards, like affinity.

I would concur with the others about your sideboard. Soulfire Grand Master really isn't what you want against aggro or in the mirror. Kor Firewalkers backed up by Path to Exile to deal with your opponents' Kor Firewalkers is where you want to go. You also want Path to Exile so you don't just scoop to a Wurmcoil Engine on turn 3 from a Tron player.
I'd probably change your sideboard to look something like:
1x Anger of the Gods
2x Deflecting Palm
4x Destructive Revelry
2x Exquisite Firecraft/Wear / Tear/Rest in Peace/Molten Rain/Sudden Shock/Relic of Progenitus
3x Kor Firewalker
3x Path to Exile
The other thing is, if you're not playing Tribal Flames, there's no reason to play a 4th. color for Bump in the Night. Lose those and go up to 4 Skullcracks and 4 Searing Blaze in the main.
You also don't want basic Forest because of how hungry your deck is for red mana. With Bump in the Night gone, you can cut your black sources and the Forest for additional Mountains or fetch lands.
If you are wanting to build up a Tribal Flames list, you play black for Bump in the Night and blue for Geist of Saint Traft. I play Tribal Zoo myself with Siege Rhino, Noble Hierarch, Tarmogoyf, and Wild Nacatl. I'll post my deck here if you want or you can find it in my profile.

You also have Lightning Helix as an option over Bump in the Night. A bit more expensive but they can be helpful in the mirror match.

Your deck is fine. Don't play Forest and don't play Soulfire Grand Master. If you want to beat the mirror, play Dragon's Claw or Kor Firewalker if you can cast it.
