I've never really done a lot with red before outside of premade decks, so I thought I'd give it a shot building a burn deck with Torbran as commander.

I've included a lot of the typical instants and sorceries that go in a burn deck, as well as cards that let me reuse them loke Isochron Scepter, Chandra, the Firebrand, Howl of the Horde, etc. Young Pyromancer seemed like an obvious add on as a cheap way to make tokens.

Most of the creatures included are those that deal etb or triggered damage, with Torbran adding on to that.

I also included cards like Burning Earth, Spellshock, Harsh Mentor, Immolation Shaman, Manabarbs etc to punish players for tapping lands and using abilities. I threw in Dragon's Claw and Staff of the Flame Magus for a little lifegain and maybe as a way to add back some of the life I'll lose from Burning Earth, Spellshock, and Manabarbs.

Cards like Faithless Looting, Thrill of Possibility and a few cycle lands were obviously added to help with card draw. I've considered cards that let me discard my hand and draw a new set, but I don't know if I want to add those in yet.

Captivating Crew and Insurrection just seemed like fun cards to play, so I threw them in.

If anyone can look over my deck and give me suggestions on what to take out or put in, I'd appreciate it.
