High Octane

you need that card that doubles the damage of red spells you cast. also that new artifact the has red spells deal an additional 2 damage.
Pyromancer's Gauntlet and Fire Servant

May I also suggest Barrage of Expendibles for all your little 1/1 elementals and Browbeat to replace Wild Guess?

How about Vexing Devil or Thunderous Wrath?

If you're going for modern burn then there are quite a few better options than some that you have picked. I am mostly a Legacy player but I have extensive burn experience.

Goblin Guide comes out fast and does a ton of damage in most cases. Also knowing what your opponent is drawing is a better upside than giving them the occasional land draw a down side unless your up against scapeshift. Its hard to evaluate how good he is if you have never tried him. trust me, he is a power in legacy and he is in modern too.

Annihilating Fire is just way too costly and slow, much better options.

Curse is also too slow. It will take 3 turns just to be a searing spear but can't target creatures.
I like magma Jet but there still may be better options. If you do run Jet I would consider a couple Bonfire of the Damned or a Thunderous Wrath.

Wild Guess. I don't think you need any card draw in burn but if you must I think Dangerous Wager or Faithless Looting will be better in the long run. Wild Guess is a horrible card to top deck when you have no hand.

I don't play modern but looking at Metamox tells me that Blood Moon should wreck a lot of decks and should be in your sideboard or possibly main deck. It may help slow your opponent when your tempo starts to slow from turn 4 onward.

I like Guttersnipe but I don't know if he comes out quick enough to be useful enough. Considering he doesn't do anything the turn he comes out. May be worth experimenting but not sure if he needs 4 slots. If you want a 3 drop creature go with Ball Lightning and I am not sure if he is even good enough.

Young Pyromancer is the new kid on the block but hes already showing up in legacy and will probably be a good add for you here. He gives you defense you don't have and can give potential swingers. He may end up being a Staple, but possibly not in burn.

I also rather like Vexing Devil and he is borderline legacy playable so I can see him being just fine in modern.

1 option is going a grim lavamancer and searing blaze package, but do that only if you run 8 fetch lands like arid mesa and scalding tarn or you wont get the most use out of them.

Lava Spike should be in here.
Rift bolt should be in here.
Skullcrack can stop life gain and is better than Searing Spear and probably Incenerate.
Incenerate is better than Searing Spear.
Burst Lightning is pretty nice.
I rather like hellspark elemental because you get to cast him twice.
Keldon Marauders is kinda nice. For 2 mana you get 2 dmg guaranteed and possible 5 damage if he swings next turn, or hes 2 damage and a blocker for 2 turns.
Shard Volley is nice burn for later turns so consider 1-3
If you cut out guttersnipe and Annihilating fire you will get your mana curve down and can cut down to 18 or 19 lands safely.
Pillar of flame isn't bad but for sorcery speed I would consider Forked Bolt, regenerate isn't that relevant most of the time but splitting damage can be.


As for Sideboard I see no reason for Pyrite. Colorless damage isn't that relevant unless there is a protection red card that's prevalent in modern.
I would go with stuff like :
Blood Moon, it tears up legacy and modern seems to run just as many uncommon lands if not more.
Grafdigger's cage or Faerie Macabre for graveyard hate, not sure which is better Cage is a lock against a lot of relevent cards but faerie macabre shrinks goyf and eats deathrite shaman's fuel and is also uncounterable.
Smash to Smithereens or Shattering Spree to deal with artifacts. I like shatter Spree cause it murders affinity.
Pithing Needle stops all kinds of nasty stuff, like birthing pod and aether vial for example.
Volcanic Fallout and Flamebreak are good wipes if you are light on creatures but not that good if you run Young Pyro.
Torpor Orb Hurts a lot of decks, Splinter Twin, Melira Pod, stops snapcaster mage, and all kinds of other good stuff.
Combust is a decent removal.
Molten Rain could be okay but im not completely convinced for the 3 mana.


I think thats about all I can advise, good luck with the deck!

Curse of blood letting, Infernal plunge, and Battle hymn might be nice additions. I like it!

nice. been wondering about a deck with both gutters and young pyro.
add 4 vexing devils for creature nukes.

either they take 4 or u play a 4/3 for 1 mana.

My suggestions are Lava Spike and Rift Bolt.
You may tilt your head at Rift Bolt, but its actually quite strong. You can suspend it for 1 red, which most certainly isn't as good as being instant, but its still 3 damage for a single mana, and can make your opponent hestitate over casting their combo creature cards with a suspended rift bolt floating in their face.

BURN!!!!!!!

What about brimstone volley go for the 5 morbid can he be huge drop vexing they take 4 hit with brimstone take 5 all on turn 4 with gutter out add 2 more

If your thinking ahead a little, Puruphoros will go nicely with the young pyromancer token generation, itll deal an extra 2 damage for all the spells you play :D

hey guys sorry been really busy. i understand every suggestion yall have given me. the only reason it is designed this way, is b/c i dont want to be a copy of every other burn out there. perfect example is using lava spike, no doubt an incredible card but everyone runs the thing. this may not be a bash face tourney deck, but its different and my own.

I'm currently trying to build a deck using miracle burn and noxious revival.
Can I get an overhaul from someone experienced with burn?
