Technically this is Gruul Burn, but since the only card with green in it is in the sideboard, I went with what the main deck is. Obviously the land base supports the Gruul sideboard option.

I have found that Pauper burn plays extremely fast. Actually faster in some ways than Boros Burn does in Modern. As such I am trying for an amalgam. While I lose Boros Charm and Lightening Helix (sadly two great burn spells), I gain access to the explosive potential of Firebrand Archer and Thermo-Alchemist. Played correctly these cards are insane in burn deck. Eidolon of the Great Revel is fairly standard in burn as they should be losing life faster than you will, especially with this package. Monastery Swiftspear and Goblin Guide provide fast early damage, and sometimes can get through late game. The actual burn package has 4 lava spikes, 4 lightning bolts, 4 magma jets (also provides scrying), 4 rift bolts, 3 Searing Blaze (for creatures), and 3 wild slash.

The side board is 2 blood moons to hose tron and other multi-colored decks, 3 destructive revelry to fight enchantments, especially Leyline of Sancity, 1 more searing blaze for creature heavy matchups, 3 smash to smithereens for afinity and lantern control, and 2 tormod's crypt to give you some graveyard hate.
