Can you win a game of modern by only playing burn and cantrips?

The deck is essentially creatureless game one, in hopes of leaving cards like Path to Exile dead in our opponents hand.

The game plan boils down to controlling the board in early game. Using the initial instant speed burn such as Lightning Bolt and Burst Lightning to remove creatures and protect our life total, while holding up Remand.

Once Pyromancer Ascension goes active we try to close out the game by generating massive advantage from copied spells, and copying burn spells like Forked Bolt to bring their life total to zero.
