1 of cards dont help much. As a general rule get 3-4 of cards so you can count on seeing them every game. This is especially important in burn decks.

i know that but, this is what i have currently.
Removed hellkite igniter, malignus, and concussive bolt. Added burst lightning, and 2x pillar of fire.
throw in some more Lava Axe, can't go wrong with 5 Damage to the face lmao
I know there expensive but they are good if your in a pinch and have a lot of mana
Legacy legal burn:
4 {Goblin Guide}
3 {Hellspark Elemental}
3 {Keldon Marauders}
3 {Vexing Devil}
4 {Lightning Bolt}
4 {Chain Lightning}
4 {Rift Bolt}
4 {Lava Spike}
4 {Price of Progress}
4 {Flame Rift}
4 {Fireblast}
1 {Reverberate}
16 {Mountain}
2 {Barbarian Ring}
Other cards to consider; fetch lands, {Grim Lavamancer}, {Incinerate}, {Volcanic Fallout}, {Searing Blaze}, {Flamebreak},
{Pyroblast}, {Smash to Smithereens},
{Flames of the Bloodhand}.
{Reckless abandon} and {fireblast} are my kill cards in my burn deck. Just whittle away with creatures and when they're low enough, fire blast will destroy your opponents life total. Who needs mountains when you're gonna win? Also you can sac tapped mountains to pay for {lightning bolt} or {reckless abandon}

You know what's even better than cards that are "good in a pinch and if you have a lot of mana"....
Cards that are good in a pinch and don't require you to have lots of mana.
To me aswell, burn that targets only players kind of defeats the purpose of burn in all but the most exteme cases.
{lava axe} is definitely not drinking enough mountain dew, cause that piece is so far from extreme.
Unless you are playing a real burn deck, then you want all if not almost all your burn going straight to the head.
Exactly!
Opponent: "I'll cast super huge indestructible monstrosity"
Red burn: "I'll deal you enough damage to kill you." Lol
In terms of a top deck card, {thunderous wrath} is strictly better than the axe.
