So which is better in a Burn Sideboard?
Blood Moon vs Molten Rain
Leyline of Sanctity vs Kor Firewalker

Blood Moon is way better than Molten Rain.
The others are interchangeable.

Timely Reinforcements isn't bad. Easier to cast as well because it only requires 1 white.

TThe firewalker seems sub par, I would play Timely as Chief suggested.
Do you expect Burn to be siding Leyline against you? If they do it will more than likel eat a Destructive Revelry

I would say Blood Moon, better than Molten Rain.
Also, depends on your meta for the second two, but if it's for the mirror, Kor Firewalker. Remember, they can still kill with fast creatures every once in a while.

In your Burn sideboard?
Molten Rain is far and away better. Blood Moon often hurts you fairly badly and doesn't deal damage.
Kor Firewalker is better than Leyline because you can actually cast it and it's still just as game-winning.

Off topic but I've been considering siding some Kavu Predator? Thoughts?
I don't run either Molten Rain or Blood Moon because of the CMC. Same reason I use Pyroclasm over Volcanic Fallout
Smother is a viable choice as well for dealing with Manlands.

What you use really depends on your colors here
Are you also splashing for green? You might consider doing so but if you do bloodmoon is off the table. If not, then yes. Run 3
Others have said it but don't bother with leyline. You're pretty much forced to run 4 so you can opponening hand it consistently but that's too much sideboard real estate for a burn deck not to mention you don't want that top deck. Like ever.
Definitely play timely reinforcements. Vs gbx decks it buys you time with chump blockers allowing you to top deck you burn into a win and in the mirror it gives you extra life to blank out at least 2 bolts. That's value
Kor is only trully good in the mirror. That being said pick which ever your meta calls for.
