ok guys im not exactly new to T1 but i dont own power so dont tell me to buy it. $40 per card is about max for me. i have experienced/made gay/r fish, sui black w/sinkholes, FCG and a few other decks. this is a bit of a hybrid for me but yeah anyway im making a mono red burn and id like any suggestions so without any further ado here goes.

MONO-RED BURN

::CREATURES::
4x Ball Lightning
4x Blistering Firecat
4x Grim Lavamancer
2x Skizzik

::SPELLS::
4x Lightning Bolt
4x Incinerate
4x Shock
2x Volcanic Hammer
3x Chain Lightning
2x Cursed Scroll
2x Fireblast
1x Fork

::DRAW::
1x Memory Jar
1x Wheel of Fortune

::MANA SOURCES::
1x Chrome Mox
1x Mana Crypt
1x Sol Ring

::LAND::
19x Mountains

THE CHOICES ---->

Ball Lightning/Blistering Firecat/Lightning Bolt/Shock/Volcanic Hammer/Chain Lightning/Fireblast -

These cards are simply staple burn for me and thats all there is too it. The cats/ball lights are heavy dmg and the cats have the added bonus of morph so can be played turn 2. Most of this burn can also choose to target creatures and as my metagame utilises a large amount of creatures this is something i look for, nuff' said.

Grim Lavamancer - This is a utility, with so many cards going to the graveyards (instants, saccs, sorcs etc.) it almost never runs out of graveyard to fuel its ability. Again it is primarily a creature killer in this deck taking out WTF.dec creatures such as clound of  faeries, other lavamancers and bloody manlands.

Skizzik - Just incase they live for a while i need a consistant source of dmg to actually stay on the table, this is it...

Incinerate - basically to stop pesky masticores which are annoyingly prevalent where i live with their damn regenerate. Also another source of burn

Fork - i should be running more of these, they make all my burn do double dmg, need i say more?

Memory Jar/Wheel of Fortune - i really need a more stable draw engine but this is all ive come up with. i use draw 7's because i burn through my hand (pun intended) in the first 1 or 2 turns.

Mox/Mana Crypt/Sol Ring - i get mana, i win

Mountains - ....land

Cursed Scroll - like skizzik its something that actually isnt just a one shot, and with my tiny hand size most of the time it usually works. a wonderful pinger.

So thats my deck, any suggestions welcome, but plz only constructive criticizim. and im not splashing another colour so dont tell me to please.

Unfortunately, your archetype doesn't actually exist, because it's been too weak for quite some time.  I'm going to leave your thread open so others can explain exactly why, though.

Take a look at this old thread:

Ankh Sligh

Pay very close attention to the mana curve and the basis of the deck. After you've digested all that, you can try starting this thread again...
