Some thoughts:

• You probably want to be running 3-4 Fiery Temper so that you can fully abuse Party Thrashers effect.

• neither Vexing Devil nor Chandra, Dressed to Kill are any good in burn, or modern in general. I’d suggest ditching both. The above mentioned Fiery Temper makes a good replacement for some of these slots, you could easily run Goblin Guide, or maybe even Blazing Rootwalla to get back up to 60.

I was half-expecting Chandra, Dressed to Kill to be in here somewhere...

Another possible 3MV card I've been considering has been Chandra, Dressed to Kill... the idea is that is your mana flooded and pay {3} on turn 3 her first +1 can ping for 1 damage and provide a {R} for casting a Lightning Bolt/similar and if out of gas possibly use her second +1 to just get that last burn spell... might not be worth it but thought I would bounce the idea off a fellow 2023 burn player.

I never get tired of threads like this... the artwork is one of my favorite things about this game; even when I was a child and had no clue how to play I used to love looking through my older brothers rubber banded together cards and just look at them... Memory Lapse always intrigued me for some reason.

Now as an adult I tend to get drawn into art for 3 main reasons

• sheer awesomeness Keldon Marauders

• pretty ladies Vulshok Sorcerer

• outright adorable Canyon Jerboa

In recent sets I think my favorite would probably be Chandra, Dressed to Kill... it's my first alternate/borderless art that I've ever picked up and I'm pretty fond of it.

Xica on Chandra or Blood Moon?

I have to point out that Chandra, Torch of Defiance is not what she used to be.

In my estimation she was up there head to head Jace, the Mind Sculptor as the most powerful walker at 4 mana. Then planswalker targeting rules got "errata-ed".

Before the errata, her 1st ability (like all damage aimed at players) could be redirected to hit walkers - which couldn't be targeted by damage spell, instead you had to redirect the damage you aimed at the player controlling the walker.



As such Chandra, Dressed to Kill is "THE" red planeswalker.

In regards to Blood Moon i would say that its likely to become more and more powerful, as effective zero deckbuilding cost domain decks are likely to become more and more common due to cards like Prismatic Ending & Leyline Binding. Which make things like aspiring spike's self mill combo borderline immune to hate.
I would also like to note, that said deck is likely to become the Tier0,5 to Tier0 format warping force. Free counters + t3feri + 2 playset of universal removal + instant win?
...i have hard time immaginig hate cards that could work.

Yes, blood moon is not an auto win.
However it delays your opponent enough to give you a fighting chance.

What do you think about switching Chandra, Pyromaster for Chandra, Dressed to Kill? Lower mana cost, similar effects, but you lose the creature damage from this source.

Just my opinion but I think the sideboard could be tuned a bit better. So, Leyline of the Void is a good card and everything, but because you don't have any looting/discard effects you just can't afford to draw it. I would run 3 Surgical Extraction or Tormod's Crypt instead because it isn't a dead draw and will activate prowess effects on your creatures. Then, Magus of the Moon can be 3 Blood Moon instead because playing the noncreature will activate prowess. With 2 extra cards in the sideboard now I would say cut a Kozilek's Return for 3 Dragon's Claw. Finally, Chandra, Dressed to Kill is good in those more grindy matchups but I feel like Shrine of Burning Rage would be better in that situation but also Roiling Vortex is something to be highly considered just because of the current modern META.

For the flex slots, all I can say is that 2-3 Bedlam Reveler seems to be fairly standard for prowess, but its up to you if you want to get experimental with it :)
