Remove RSZ, +4 Lightning Bolt. Also, find place for Lava Spike.

4 Lightning Bolts and 4 Lava Spikes... but I'd have to drop something like Pillar of Flame for Spikes. Any recommendations? And why should I remove RSZ? It's quite good, I think. Recurring damage thanks to shuffle of RSZ. And the X cost makes it more fitting to various situations, since I can pay Mana depending on the amount of Mountains available at the time.
Because in a burn deck, you usually don't have large amounts of mana. Spending 4 mana to deal 3 damage is a waste, considering that most 3 damage spells cost 2 mana like incinerate. And you don't have to put 4 spikes in. 2 is enough in my opinion. Also, check out Shrine of Burning Rage, it's quite good.
Ok. RSZ gone forever. Heh. Added more low mana damage dealing spells. Shrine is quite interesting, so I did put 2 in to check out it's synergy with Chandra's +1 ability and of course burners. If it won't work out I will get rid of Shrine to put something else in. In the meantime I removed 2 Dual Castings. It was supposed to be played on Guttersnipes, but the chances of drawing them both in opening hand.
Good job, I like it a lot more now!
I'm glad. But from what I've tried... It has NO chance of winning against decks based on healing. Gah. And there are times when you end up with, let's say, two Reverberates and one Dual Casting in hand with no creatures on the field against 2-3 or even more opponent's creatures eating your life away.
Well this is a common problem when making burn decks. Main problem is, you have limited damage supply. Sure they are more than enough to do 20 damage and win, but if the opponent gain life in the meantime, most burn decks won't stand a chance because of limited resources. I know it sounds lame, but that's one of burn decks weak spot, so it's normal. One strategy is to wipe the opponent creatures with burn spells. You protect yourself and can attack with your own creatures. Problem is, you have few of those. Again, this is a common problem in burn decks. As for Reverberate, my advice is that if you don't find it useful, just replace it.
Reverberate its better than increasing vengeance cause it does the same thing except any instant our sorcery not just yours and it cost 2 mana as well
Thanks for the suggestion on Reverberate. I must admit that it is a hell lot better than Increasing Vengeance,
