Fireblast is by far the best card in the deck

You don't know much about legacy burn do you?
Flame Rift and Fireblast are two of the best cards in the deck.

If you have the budget, I'd cut the arsonists, the Magma Jets, a Price of Progress and two Mountains for four {Goblin Guide} and four {Monastery Swiftspear}.  Those guys are just absolutely nuts.

You need 4 {Eidelon of the Great Revel}, they're great.

Best card in the deck is actually {Price of Progress}.

Needs fetches and {Searing Blaze}.  Vexing Devil isn't that good IMO.
Devil sucks big Beetlejuice. Get some!

The problem with {Vexing Devil} is that it will die before doing something productive 9/10 times. If they don't have removal they take four, which is pretty sweet. But think about this. You play a {Goblin Guide} and immediately swing for two. Then they {Path to Exile}/{Lightning Bolt}/{Whatever Legacy Kills Stuff With} it. Sounds bad right? Well if they {Path to Exile} it you're up a mana, which is badass. If they {Lightning Bolt} it they didn't {Lightning Bolt} you so you're up three life.

But Link, if I play the {Vexing Devil} and they remove it the same thing happens!

No, you dealt two damage thanks to haste! Plus if they /don't/ have removal then you have a 2/2 to keep swinging with while they could just take 4 and be done with {Vexing Devil}.

The problem is not that {Vexing Devil} is bad, per say, it's that it's easy to play around and {Goblin Guide}/{Monastery Swiftspear} are better.

This is legacy. Nobody runs path. That is complete garbage in legacy. They run {swords to plowshares}

My bad. I don't play Legacy. xD

Not to be rude, but then why are you suggesting things on a legacy deck? :/

Well, the logic of the removed and attributed nothing still stands. Card advantage is a thing wether legacy or Tarkir block constructed.

True. Card advantage is a little odd in legacy right now. It always really has been. It's more about filtering than actual advantage.

Because the difference between Legacy and Modern is not whether or not {Vexing Devil} is good. Besides that, I understand card evaluation and deck theory and am trying to constantly improve in those areas. If I was wrong somebody would correct me and I'd learn. I'm not overstepping my boundaries by commenting on a Legacy deck when I don't play Legacy. If I am, show it to me and I will stop doing so.

TL, DR: I know enough about magic to share my two cents on something. I'm not the end all be all just somebody trying to help and learn.
