BURN ALL THE THINGS! ALL SUGGESTIONS ARE APPRECIATED! BUDGET IS GUDGET!

I've been a huge fan of Red burn since I started playing magic. I was lucky enough to get in on 2011 in Standard before it rotated out and have missed having a Red deck that really felt like it toasted the opponent alive. Thanks to Thermo-Alchemist, I feel I can realize this again!

I didn't realize his potential at first, but when building a Rakdos deck for draft a few weeks back, I came to realize how nasty Thermo-Alchemist could be. Prying Questions, Savage Alliance, and Thermo-Alchemist (all in pairs somehow!) completely destroyed when played together. This deck is quite a departure from that initial draft deck, but its kept the feel intact.

Be kind, its my first deck on here. It may look similar to a number of Red burn decks, but that's what I expected would happen :p

I am aware of the upcoming rotation at the end of September, and as such, have dropped any rotating cards from my Maybeboard. The cards currently in the deck will have to be replaced, but I'll have to wait to see what Kaladesh holds.

Dropping Dragons and Origins — Aug. 25, 2016

Edit

Before Kaladesh hits, I'm going to drop the rotating items of the deck and exchange them with SOI and EMN madness cards. I'm also tossing in some Goldnight Castigators to have some nice flying support.

Here are the changes I am doing temporarily to test out madness focus for this deck:

OUT

The idea is to try to retain the card advantage gained from the Abbot battlefield trigger using Tormenting Voice and Stormkirk Occultist, and maintain creature control with Lightning Axe (as well as enabling more madness combos). Goldnight Castigator is a simple "I need a flyer who can also get in some damage" replacement for Thunderbreak Regent.
