Why does everyone run white in burn????

Boros charm is good, but not that good. Maybe run some {magma jet}s and {spark jolt}s?

4 dmg for 2 mana. Broken good. Modern playable even.

Deck looks exceedingly painful. Fast, low curve. Plenty of fast burn. Consider Chandra for her draw ability. It'll speed up late games by doubling the cards you top deck (really good for decks that deplete hands by turn 4-5). Or if you don't trust luck, burn for 1 repeatedly and swing with some midgets.

+1 for budgety burn deck.

Ya, besides the lands it is dirt cheap.  I was doing some solitaire play testing and it did lethal by turn 5 10/10 games and lethal by turn 4 on 3 of those 10 games.  I may consider cutting the {Young Pyromancer} for {Ash Zealot} or something but will have to see.

It is a great card, but I'm not sure I can justify taking out the low drops to add it in.

2 madcap skills? I actually like to side them once I know what deck my opponent is running. And then if he doesn't have removal, sucks when I boros charm next turn.

Ash zealot would prolly be your best bet, but hey, we can search around
