This looks pretty sleek, can't really think of much I'd change in the mainboard. Nice work

I made some adjustments to both main deck and sideboard. Interested in what you think about the changes.

Boltwave, as if burn needed another 1-drop bolt effect option. Silly WOTC and their shenanigans.

Changes generally look solid. Only thing that comes to mind is Destructive Revelry looks good in theory but won't do much in the current meta because it only destroys rather than exiles, so you can't use it to deal with The One Ring, which is nearly ubiquitous in modern.

Now, this is a double edged effect, as the Ring burns the player for using it, which is what this deck wants. But it also turbocharges the hand and will probably let opponent overwhelm you with sheer material, so it's worth considering on that fact alone. As it is, this deck can only hope to outrace an active Ring. One way to deal that would be to swap out Destructive Revelry for either Cast into the Fire, Exorcise, or Haywire Mite, each of which comes with its particularly good matchups with the various popular decks. Cast deals with the energy build, Mite keeps you alive another turn, Exorcise also deals with the big blue threats that can overwhelm this deck if landed (Murktide, Oculus, as well as some Eldrazi nonsense).

Personally, I'd go with Exorcise, as I think it has a remarkably deep coverage for this meta. I'm actually working on a bunch of stuff that utilizes it mainboard at the moment (I love anti-meta strategies).

Just my thoughts.

Made some big changes, just went back to Boros Burn. Looks more consistent to me.

Mainboard looks good. I'm generally nervous about running 8 fetches and 5 targets, but it's burn, so you really want that deck thinning.

As for the sideboard, I legit have very little idea of a solid meta at this point, as the format is basically brand new and everything is all over the place. I assume things will straighten out over the next few weeks or so, and we can all proceed accordingly.

I'm just glad Frodo finally got around to throwing the ring into the fire.

Amen. I think Obsidian Charmaw would be a good consideration here against eldrazi that are gunna try to accelerate right over the top of you. I also really, really like High Noon as countermeasures against temur breach, ruby storm, affinity, hollow one, looting phoenix, and cascade builds. It stops them either cold or luke warm, hurts you much, much less, and doubles as damage you can build to for a finisher once you're done with it. And it's extra good on the play game 2 or 3 when you can drop it to slow down opponent's turn 2.
