9-lives on burn deck help to refurbish

What's so bad about Yavimaya Iconoclast if I cast it at least on turn 3? Haste and 4/3. That's not bad, considering that vanillas would normally be 3/3, not considering the best vanillas like Leatherback Baloth and Kalonian Tusker.

9-lives well, you know my opinion on the competitiveness of either option already based on my above comments ;)

This new version is at least closer to 60 cards, so that's one bonus going for it. However, none of the cards you've added in are particularly useful for the speed a burn deck is hoping to acquire - if you're going down this direction it might be better trying to turn this into something more midrange.

• Play with Fire only deals 2 damage, making it unplayable at any level above the absolute most-casual of play. There's zero reason playing it when you're not even playing the full playset of Lightning Bolt

• Atarka's Command is a decent card, but typically better as a sideboard option as a lot of the time it's not going to give you enough value to warrant its inclusion. It's effectively a slightly better Skullcrack, but considering that card already doesn't make it into current burn lists, i'm not sure how useful it is running 8 copies of this effect. This card is much stronger in builds tending-towards midrange (or straddling between aggro-and-midrange)

• Yavimaya Iconoclast... I'm really not sure what you're hoping to achieve with this card... it's neither fast nor powerful? Just a vanilla creature??

• I'm also not sure what the purpose of Black Market Tycoon is... you don't need mana, and this card is actively hurting you while also not helping to kill the opponent.

Personally I think you're previously rendition was better, in that the cards at least slightly-more resembled traditional burn. This version seems slower but for no apparent gain.

I replaced Boros Charm, Lightning Helix, and Deflecting Palm. Switched them out with Atarka's Command, and Play with Fire. Removed Risk Factor and Light Up the Stage. Put into play Yavimaya Iconoclast and Black Market Tycoon. Got rid of Satyr Firedancer. I'm not asking if it looks fun, haha. I'm wondering if it's so-called competitive.

Yeah... the only thing that comes to mind is possibly going more of a gruul zoo playstyle going with Legion Loyalist and Reckless Bushwhacker and maybe some Play with Fire for some added removal or face damage. Yavimaya Iconoclast might be neat? But I'm not sure if thats in explorer yet?

Considering the high costs of all your cards I would Highly suggest Skyclave Relic to provide you ramp and still have kicker synergies for the deck. The card is also great as the artifact is indestructible, so not many cards will remove this mana source.

A number of your cards are not very strong and you may want to consider cutting for the purpose of splashing a color for more affordable (mana value) cards. Pending on if you want to make your deck more agressive or controlling would change up the suggested cards. I tink you could make a decent control deck splashing black, but also a decent creature focused deck if you went for red/green splash.

Control options splashing black: Bloodchief's Thirst, Skyclave Shade, Inscription of Ruin, & Rona's Vortex.

Creture deck options splashing red/green: Vodalian Mindsinger, Inscription of Abundance, Untamed Kavu, Yavimaya Iconoclast, Battlewing Mystic, Hallar, the Firefletcher, Verazol, the Split Current

Cards I would definetly cut: Cunning Geysermage, Field Research, Sea Gate Stormcaller (<-unless you splash black)

The suggested cards are just me showing some options you may have overlooked. I think your deck is built to easily go with the black splash suggestios and the creature variant would be a different deck entirely.

Best of luck with the deck.
