Delver

I guess but if you ask burn players why they don't run it they all unanimously say "because it's bad" to me that's enough to convince me not to run it

I have a rdw modern deck and I have experienced both sides of this scenario.  I am not a religious rdw player and never truly used it in a super competitive format.  I will say the card is good when it is at its best but it is a terrible top deck when you are behind.  I think I main board it as a 3 of.....but I have not played with the deck in a while.

RDW really does starve for card drawing and browbeat does a good-marginal job of it.  But a {treasure cruise} it is definitely not.

Agreed

I've been debating making a Modern counterburn deck focusing around {Young Pyromancer} and {Monestary Mentor} to just keep my opponent off the board, flood tokens and burn face. {Browbeat} is one of the cards I'm considering as three mana shouldn't be a problem. Just haven't gotten around to it.

I have been playtesting mentor in modern and he is just not what you want to do on T3.  He is powerful but he loses a lot of tempo for you.  I have found him a better T5 or later play so you can trigger him the same turn to guarantee something for your investment before he gets a kill spell sent his way.  Young Peezy still rains supreme IMHO.

What you say makes a lot of since. What do you think is the right number to play? 2 or 3?

I am running 3 as well but idk if this card is gonna be a thing.  In standard, rabble master is the better choice in a lot of scenerios.  It is just not turning out to be a reliable enough card.  But this is just my very limited experience.  No where near the time pros put into playtesting.

In my Jeskai Counterburn deck he is extremely dangerous if I can keep him on the board. I do agree that three of seems to be the best number, and you generally don't want to drop him on T3 so you can keep him alive.

Thinking about running a peasant version of UR delver, with my 5 uncommons being 3 {Young Pyromancer} and 2 {Taylor Swiftspear}
