I'm playing legacy burn and I have everything decided but I cant choose between Flame Rift and Magma Jet My main pros of each are below, please let me know what you think
Flame Rift - 4 damage for 2 mana, 2 more damage than magma jet, burns life faster
Magma Jet - Still 2 damage, Helps to scry away 2 potential bad cards, can hit creatures

Maximize damage always. Legacy Red Deck Wins never wants a burn spell to deal less than 3 damage, hence Lightning Bolt , Rift Bolt , Chain Lightning , Lava Spike , and Fireblast .
So, Flame Rift :-D
I run two in my RDW as in an Aggro mirror I may not want to see too many. Are you running Price of Progress ?

Yeah all the legacy staples are in, I play this deck well I just was told so many times about magma jet and I just wasnt sure what other people thought. Like sure each of them have their ups and downs but flame rift is more of what I want. My motto for burn is always "if your worried about your own life total then your playing burn wrong" so im not worried about taking 4 from flame rift

Right on and agreed.
Magma Jet may be good in Modern though.
