Modern isn't really where red burn decks are popular, but mmmcgill1232 took this one to a 4–0 victory in a recent Modern Daily Event on Magic Online. The interesting thing about this deck is the main deck is clearly just designed to burn the opponent from 20–0 as quickly as possible, but the sideboard is well-tuned in order to allow the deck to slow down the burn if it needs answers for specific metagame threats. Even to the point of splashing blue for a counterspell!
