So long as Modern maintains its unspoken 4-Turn Format lets give Burn a try. The fantasy version of the deck being 40x Lightning Bolt 20x Mountain basically the math works out for a burn deck like that to win consistently will need 4 turns to do so.

Tips: Show

• Aim for 10 points of damage in the opening hand. I have the Mindset that draws tend to alternate between land, burn spell, land typically.

• Creatures like Goblin Guide/Monastery Swiftspear/Eidolon of the Great Revel are the most powerful cards in Burn. In an opening hand sometimes those creatures can do 4-6 points of damage by themselves.

• Keeping hands with one land: Ask yourself if "If I draw my second land by my second or third turn will I win the game?" paying attention to hands with creatures in them.

• If the opponent is playing discard spells be as efficient as possible. {R}{R} its better to cast double Lava Spike than a single Skullcrack because you are just leaving behind more cards to be taken from you by Grief/Inquisition of Kozilek.

• Skullcrack makes it so damage cant be prevented; this can be relevant for protection when up against Kor Firewalker. Against The One Ring if you target a planswalker or yourself you can get damage through.
