A red deck wins that just loves Lightning Bolt. But if we can't recur it, why not just run 12 copies that do the same thing?

Our Bolts:

• Lightning Bolt the true OG. All others are imitators.

• Wizard's Lightning, with 10 wizards in deck it becomes a bolt.

• Fiery Temper, when discarded it is a bolt.

• Skewer the Critics. This is a bolt at sorcery speed at the cost of dealing damage to our opponent first.

All our creatures are aggressors to get pokes in.

The Flame of Keld and Faithless Looting are there for card draw and discarding Fiery Temper.

Young Pyromancer, with us essentially being a spellslinger deck, why not make an army of tokens per spell slung? Agreed.

Grim Lavamancer helps with shocking damage and utilizing our graveyard as a resource.

Side Board choices:

• Alpine Moon kills tron and cards like Itlimoc, Cradle of the Sun, while being cost effective over Blood Moon, but in truth, Blood > Alpine.

• Goblin Chainwhirler, this guy is a beast! Kills token decks, and is a champ defender with his first strike.

• Harsh Mentor hurts non-mana abilities on cards.

• Eidolon of the Great Revel hurts storm, weenies, or fellow burn decks.

• Spite of Mogis, a underrated card because we can easily throw 3-5 spells between our first two turns due to our curve being really low. All those spells can add up and kill bigger creatures for just .

• Tormod's Crypt, a drop graveyard removal, yes please!

• Gut Shot kills weenies and gets that last damage in by burning ourselves. (Usually the first thing I side out).
