So long as Modern maintains its unspoken 4-Turn Format lets give Burn a try. The fantasy version of the deck being 40x Lightning Bolt 20x Mountain basically the math works out for a burn deck like that to win consistently will need 4 turns to do so.
Tips:
-
Aim for 10 points of damage in the opening hand. I have the Mindset that draws tend to alternate between land, burn spell, land typically.
-
Creatures like Goblin Guide/Monastery Swiftspear/Eidolon of the Great Revel are the most powerful cards in Burn. In an opening hand sometimes those creatures can do 4-6 points of damage by themselves.
-
Keeping hands with one land: Ask yourself if "If I draw my second land by my second or third turn will I win the game?" paying attention to hands with creatures in them.
-
If the opponent is playing discard spells be as efficient as possible. its better to cast double Lava Spike than a single Skullcrack because you are just leaving behind more cards to be taken from you by Grief/Inquisition of Kozilek.
-
Skullcrack makes it so damage cant be prevented; this can be relevant for protection when up against Kor Firewalker or The One Ring.
Maybe:
These are just a list of cards that can easily come in as the Meta evolves.
Hopes For Modern Horizons or whatever random set that can print/reprint cards into Modern:
-
Fireblast: The card is an amazing finisher.
-
Price of Progress
: This will become a BIG damage spell with how greedy Moderns Mana bases are. -
Chain Lightning
: This is honestly "Meh"... Its basically a sorcery speed Lightning Bolt but I would be happy with getting closer to a 40x Bolt deck list. -
Sulfuric Vortex: Its comparable to Roiling Vortex Big cumulative damage and stops lifegain without needing to keep mana open.
