Deck discussion for Burn

I still don't understand eidolon of the great revel every spell you play costs 2 life now because your entire deck is under 3 mana. Care to explain why you use it I've seen a lot of people do this.

The reason is you're doing more dmg to your opponent that the 2 dmg to you is irrelevant and it makes your opponent think twice about what spells they should cast.

The thing with Eidolon is, your deck does 3 damage for pretty much every spell in the deck; it's the entire point of the deck, so doing 2 to yourself in order to do 3 to them is fine if it means they're gonna hurt themselves if they try and play magic/run scared of playing spells. Furthermore, you're locking them out of playing cheap spells because you can "get them dead" any time they go to low on life. Lastly, If you play this guy, and are ahead on board, you're not the one committed to playing a spell first; you can lay beats. This has been one of the best printings for modern burn in a while. Watching some modern burn after this guy was printed might give you a better understanding of why its played in the deck and what its objectives are.
