I was thinking about Lightning Berserker in burn, could that be a thing? Maybe as 1-of?
Yea I have no clue, it was just a thought since the berserker can hit pretty hard

I'm inclined to agree. My first instinct is to push him into a deck that's not committed on a splash and test him as a max of 2 copies. He seems a tad too commitment-heavy for RDW.

Aren't you just already winning any game that you have enough time to repeatedly dash and pump Lightning Berserker in for value?
If your opponent is giving you that much time to find all the various Lava Spikes in the deck, I don't see what edge Lightning Berserker is really getting you and it makes you even weaker to cheap removal like Lightning Bolt since you need to pump.

Personally I would say it's not worth it. Far too commitment heavy for a deck that does a lot of EOT instant damage. Committing 3-4 mana for 3-4 damage during your turn just seems like too heavy of a mana sink for a deck that already runs light on the land base.

What would you take out? The lavamancers? The eidolons? I think it has decent potential, but these lists are pretty compact. I'm at a total loss when thinking about what you could take out. Lightning Berserker also becomes worse in lists that splash green for Atarka's Command and the like.
