DESCRIPTION OUT OF DATE

Vexing devil is my favorite card by far so I had to make a home for him. This deck has gone through a lot of alterations and changes over its life. It began as a really bad mono red Chandra planeswalkers burn deck (because I was so against net decking), then I had to make it faster and I dropped the PWs for the sake of the curve. It was winning T4 very consistently without the eidolons and it was uber budget (~$60). Everything changed with one matchup at my LGS.... I got leylined.... Leyline of santicity is the most ridiculous card to be printed.... I couldn't do anything, my burn spells only target was my own dome and I flopped around like a dying fish til they got off the ad nauseam combo. From there I splashed green for D revelry and atarkas command. It was still good, however I lost speed and a lot of games from fetching and shocking for my mana base and not having the right mana at the right time. Also Blood Moon is a thing and oh boy did it show up and own my deck. In fear of blood moon, I went back to mono red and it was slower than before but still good. I found the current build after talking with a seasoned vet of magic (he's one of those people who has all of his modern decks foiled out and has been playing for like 20 years....). Boros charm is by far the best card that I was not playing, and with the new fastlands from Kaladesh, I had a cheap manabase that would almost never ETB tapped anyway because if I have more than 3 other lands, odds are Ive lost anyway. RW also gives me access to lightning helix, wear/tear, and a few other cards that I am currently looking into.

I refuse to just netdeck the naya burn list because I want this deck to just be mine and my own (precious- gollum). Mardu looks like it could be fun but once again I want to be relatively budget (hence no guides). Magma jet is relatively underwhelming but on T2 it almost always assures a T4 or 5 win due to setting my next few draws. Figure of destiny is a card that I put in the deck compared to eidolons due to eidolons being a great card when Im ahead/ideal situations but terrible when I am a few points back vs another aggro deck. Shard volley I have included before and it does make the deck fast but at 17 lands, its a big tax on my tempo unless its a finishing shot. Searing blaze would be good but would need fetches to make it worth.

If anyone has any suggestions for a Boros burn I would love to hear it!

Thank you
