Damn dude, this is fiendish. It might not be the answer to Restoration Angel I was expecting, but I guess this would do it lol

I love this deck. It's just so fast g1, and g2 it has the sideboard to answer everything. If you can't race it, you're not beating it. Eradicate answers a lottt of the format. :) Normal rdw can gas out really fast, but bob helps out a lottt with the draws, and also having bump in the night rather than shock actually makes a big difference.
Ditto, I'd much rather have three of the bat. And this gives me nightmares for the project I have for Modern right now btw, if there's anything Fish can't deal with, it's burn. And using Eradicate is just plain cruel man, but I like it. People forget it and Pithing Needle exist sometimes it seems. Bob in a burn deck is a 50:50 thing for me, I like it because it means you're not going to gas out, but I hate it because it's four cards that aren't burn or mana. Outside of Legacy that doesn't have as much impact, I know, but it's still something that always leaves an itch for me.
I adore burn. It's weird, it's so mindless, and really only involves counting to 20, but I just love its 'balls-to-the-wall" game plan! I adore Bob. It's weird, I've heard a lot of people who love him, but also a lot of people who hate him. Yes- he doesn't burn their face, and a popular argument is that on turn 2 you could be dealing 6 to the dome, but that's costing you 2 card's (realistically 3, if you count the land drop) and then you're pretty much in top deck mode. I like Bob, because he CAN beat for 2, he's a hugee threat if left unanswered, and while I may have wasted a turn to deal 6 damage, I'm now garaunteed a turn to deal 9, and hopefully beat in for 2. :) I've been toying with the numbers a lot, though, and I feel as though a card I realllly want in the main is pillar of flame. I was thinking about cutting 1 vexing devil and 1 sudden shock for 2 pillar, but I'm not sure how I feel abut not having the two cards I'd cut in the main D: Vexing devil I enjoy seeing in my opening hand, but ONLY in my opening, past that, he's useless. I added in flames of the bloodhand because kitchen finks is lame, and for 3 mana I can deal 6 if that goes down, and also if somebody helixes one of my guys, or my face, I can pay 3 to deal 7. It's pretty sweet atm. Also added 2 faithless lootings to help reduce the flood late-game, and to make sure I don't gas out as easily if Bob just won't do the trick. Sideboard still needs a little work, I believe, but overall I'm enjoying its progress. How does the 75 look to you?
I always thought of Burn as the deck that's too simple to fail. It will always achieve what it sets out to do, set shit on fire, and it's only a question of how well it does the job. In Modern Bob Burn is the most efficient way to play it, there's no doubt in my mind about that, but in Legacy he's kind of lacking to me. I'm not a big burn player or anything, but whenever I got bored enough to play it, I always found myself disliking Bob in it. Pillar of Flame is amazing, it exiles Finks, and so many more that it's ridiculous. And while Vexing Devil is amazing in your opening hand, but like you said, he's worthless past that. Instead of getting rid of Sudden Shock I'd just wind up cutting both Devils if you want to know the truth, running just one Sudden Shock & one Vexing Devil is almost fruitless IMO. Flames of the Bloodhand, oh how I loathe thee. I play Melira POD in Modern, so I can't say I'm happy to see it in here. That card has in fact cost me games. Faithless Looting I'm on the fence about in Burn, haven't seen it in action enough to say much. Sideboards are always something I tweak in the last moments possible, I might use a basic framework for them, but they always get a meta tweak if I can swing it. The 75 is very slick man, it's not a burn deck I'd be smiling about seeing on the other side of the table to be honest.
If I were to play legacy burn, it'd definitely be U/R Delver. Hands down. And yeah, pillar is really good, but I think v.s. a finks you just need to accept that that's 4 life and play around it. Instead of burning their finks twice, deal 6 to the dome and hope they don't have a restoration angel. If they do flash her in, just burn the finks, though. Always. And if you have bros down, burnnnn that finks hahaha. Flames is really good, but honestly realllly high on the curve. So 2 is definitely fine. In the side, I honestly think I'm going to wind up cutting eradicates for 2 dismember and something else. I just want to be able to burn them before they untap t5, plus it HURTS off Bob and is wayyyy too high on the curve :/ Some board cards I do want are; 1-2 pillar, 2-3 volcanic fallout, and 1-2 dismembers. Numbers definitely need tweaking, but the main is solid. 2 vexing devil is definitely correct, and ohmygod faithless lootings is an mvp. Where it's only a 2 of, you see it justtt enough to filter your late game. It just makes a 4 land hand with loot, guide and bolt keepable. It's solid. However, the deck's actually a lot harder to play than I had expected. I guess some players consider it auto pilot, but doing the math in your head can be tough at times! Math's not the problem, just considering the odds and whatnot can be a task, and it's usually 50/50. Mess up once, you lose. :/ I love the deck, though. Very much :)
I've seen some Grixis lists for Legacy Burn, and they're surprisingly decent. It's no combo deck, but it's damn simple. Good logic is good. The board is looking pretty good, I'd still nix the Thoughtseize's though. It seems borderline pointless at less than three. Burn is harder to keep track of than some people give it credit for, but it's still a good deck for when you're only half conscious.
I feel like 2 thoughtseize is pretty good, it's needed v.s. combo, I feel. I don't own 3, so maybe 2 thoughtseize and 1 duress could do it? I'd need to test the match, but 2 feels comfortable, honestly. :O And yeah, it's no control deck, but it's still something you need to be half conscious for, as you said.
Two and a Duress would be really good, but if it's comfortable to you roll with it man. Each player has their own number, and sometimes what works for you doesn't work for anybody else. Agreed, now Zombies on the otherhand... I've been playing my friends Zombie deck all night, and I've been about to doze off the entire time.
Zombies.. kind of ironic in how easy it is. I guess all this time they were hungry for brains because the deck is simply.. brainless. Muahahaha so punny!!!!! Haha, And combo is definitely a hard match up, but mainly only the storm side of that spectrum. I find in comfort in the fact that storm is an excessively hard deck to pilot, so I feel as though 2 thoughtseize are enough, and a surgical. Surgical to hit their ramp when they're trying to go off, or simply getting their kill con. HOPEFULLY, I can race them, but if not.. that's it, really. :/
Is it bad that I laughed? Am I the only one who actually finds storm easy? It's more difficult than aggro, but damn it's easier than some of the more insane control designs, or Extraction.
