Deck Description

Modern Burn with splash of Black, inspired by Ryan Mayo's build. The Black is added for bump in the night which helps with losing some important cards from the Legacy to Modern switch.

How to Play

Very similar to Legacy Burn, swing in with quick creatures and throw damage at their face.

Deck discussion for Modern Burn splashed Black

I would drop Thunderous Wrath to max out on Vexing Devil and Marauders. Then i'd drop Falkenrath and Burst Lightning for Eidolon of the great Revel, or Ash Zealot.

Eidolon of the great Revel looks like a great sideboard card, I feel it would be too risky to put it in the main deck though. Depending on my opponents deck, it could end up doing much more harm to me than to them. I am also nervous cutting burn spells for more creatures. There is a point in most matches where the creatures mostly become chump blockers since they are too meek to get in to finish them off. The burn is the main win condition. I don't know if making that smaller would be wise. Ash Zealot could be useful against dredge but I don't know if it would be worth replacing the Faeries in the sideboard with.

I have been toying with some other burn spells too, Flames of the Blood Hand, Searing Blaze and Incinerate mostly. It might be worth switching some things up to include a few of these. They may be too clunky though and slow the deck down.

Once I get a better understanding of my local shop meta those Eidolon's might be replacing something in my sideboard. I play Pyrostatic Pillar in my Legacy Burn Sideboard which is basically the same card. It's pretty much in there to help shut down the mirror match and Elves.

I decided to make this deck because my store plays mostly modern. I figured converting my Legacy burn to Modern was a cheap way to start playing something decent without spending too much money. I am also making a Mono Green Infect , also as a decent, cheap entry to Modern. Any advice you might have on that deck as well would be appreciated. The deck list is on this site.
