Yes, but if you're going for a burn deck, you will want as many burn spells as possible. Vexing Devil does this. And, it is just as useful as Monastery Swiftspear in that if they can remove a Vexing Devil, then they can remove a Monastery Swiftspear. 1 mana for 4 damage is the best burn card available. Also, the Monastery Swiftspear will at most deal 3 damage on turn 2 if you cast it on turn 1. Yes, it gets better as it goes on, but regardless you're going to have to keep her on the field. This is why I find Satyr Firedancer a fidgety card. It has to stay on the field, but it's a 1/1.

And yes! Mutiny is a rarely used card, but it's pretty good on its own. I also love Deflecting Palm as my very favorite card. No one expects it, and it really ruins some people's plans.

Perhaps you would like something like Mutiny?? I love that card! Helps a lot with creature heavy decks.

BTW, I think Vexing Devil is always better than Monastery Swiftspear. That's because if they do have creature removal, they will use it on the swiftspear just as much as the vexing devil. Then, if they don't want a 4/3 in the beginning, they will choose the 4 damage. If you draw this early in the game, just as much as you would draw a monastery swiftspear, then it's worth it.
