The overload of Burst Lightning actually always came too late for me or just ran into a counter. Additionally I think the potential of 2for1's with Forked Bolt is incredibly high atm and with a YP on the field a 3for1 is easily possible. I missed the early FB vs. Pod, in the mirror, vs hatebears and vs affinity a lot. Edit: Even against Junk (which is a pretty easy matchup, still great vs Souls or Confidant)

I've been reading this Thread for several months now, even before Khans. I really appreciate the work of Zem and the other guys here. Im playing Delver since march and the input from here has helped me much more than any other forum. Kudos.
So I was wondering why Zem is playing Burst Lightning over Forked Bolt. I tried the exact 60 of Zem 2 Weeks ago and I wanted to draw Forked bolt nearly every game and NEVER actually wanted Burst Lightning. After exchanging that I got 6th in a 40+ player tournament and was very impressed by DTT. My Meta is pretty mixed with UWR/Pod/Delver/Junk/Hatebears/Burn/Zoo being the most represented.
Besides that, what do we actually do against the current RUG Control lists with Shackles and stuff? I played against that deck in the mentioned 40+ player tournament and got destroyed. It never felt like I really had much of a chance. Tarmogoyf, Huntmaster, Shackles, Forked Bolts, Electrolyze, Counters and after Sideboard Thrun and other stuff. The deck is played by only 2 people in my region (which are both good players and one being a former PT competitor afaik), but I'm most of the time doomed to meet one of them in the later rounds, since we run pretty good most of the time. My SB currently looks like the following:
2 Blood Moon
2 Combust (Sometimes gets exchanged with Flame Slash when I predict to see more Zoo players)
1 Dispel
1 Negate
1 Batterskull
1 Shatterstorm
1 Engineered Explosives (has been Electrickery before)
3 Magma Spray
1 Spellskite (due to some bogles players mostly and still being decent vs burn and affinity)
2 Dragon's Claw
