What are the best Burn spells in Modern? Splashing red for a deck, and I thought I would ask what everyone thought

Lightning Bolt obviously but Rift Bolt , Lava Spike , and Lightning Helix are some of the best. Magma Jet is great too.

Bonfire of the Damned isn't very good in modern at all. Lightning Bolt and Lightning Helix are probably the two best burn spells in modern

He's running a myr combo deck xlaleclx so he has infinite mana. Yes it's not all that good but when you get the mana....

I didn't mean it as a good card, I meant it as no one suggest it, because you're right

I was actually going to run it in a different deck, but now that I think about it, its not so bad in the Mry deck at all. I might add some Mountains for the red X burn spells

If you're in modern Comet Storm is better by far with infinite mana since it's instant speed.

Lightning Bolt Lightning Helix are solid, Slagstorm and Pyroclasm are solid removal, I prefer Slagstorm over Anger of the Gods because of the utility

No love for Lightning Strike , Searing Spear , or Incinerate ...?

Lightning Strike and Searing Spear would get replaced with all the one drop burn spells, or creatures like Keldon Marauders or Grim Lavamancer . Incinerate is good though, because there certain creatures which are a bitch to deal with. Lotleth Troll and what not.

Searing Spear will probably never really see real play in Modern. I'd rather suspend Rift Bolt for a turn than pay 2 for 3, especially if it's to the dome. Also, Lava Spike for to the face use only.

Boros Charm is up there, as well as all of the aforementioned.

How about Flame Javelin in mono-red?
And Searing Blaze, total six damage turn two?

Both great, though Flames of the Blood Hand is a touch better in mono-red usually.

Thank you for bumping a 3 month old post to suggest an unplayable crap card in Flame Javelin

And you were so ticked off at the inconvenience that you gave up your time and commented? Why?
January 27, 2015 1:16 a.m.
Thanks Excaliber213. Flames of the Blood Hand curves up nicely from Skullcrack.

I spent maybe 5 seconds to tell someone not to bump posts because it's annoying for everyone who's subscribed to the thread...
