Burn, baby! Burn!

I built a Red Deck Wins for my kid because he loves burn in equal proportion to my lack of money. This is an extreme budget build that relies on some cute little synergies. He's not winning a Grand Prix with it, but it can do some damage in the local meta.

This is a very straight-forward monoRed burn build that aims to pile damage on opponents as fast as possible and use some late game shenanigans to get those last few points of damage. To that end, Chandra, the Firebrand seems like a great fit for this deck. In the late game all you should have to do is get her on the board, tick her down 2 to copy a Bolt, and then GG. I may cut her down to 2 copies since she's pretty much a dead draw turns 1-4, and with only 18 lands I'm not even sure if the kid could pay her mana cost. Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle is there for that last few points of damage.

Kiln Fiend feels a little out of place since IMO it shines in Izzet decks where for one it becomes unblockable. I would appreciate suggestions on how to better use it or something with which to replace it. All in all, though, the deck works pretty well.

So it's basically budget Mono Red burn FTW. Suggestions are always welcome and please upvote and comment if you like what you see. Cheers!

The Sideboard is under construction.

Edit

I added 4x Searing Blood and 4x Skullcrack, along with 2x Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and Collective Defiance. These cards replace in order Lightning Axe, Fiery Temper, Looming Spires, and Incendiary Command. The last addition, Collective Defiance, was on the advice of a TappedOut user, and the other are simply Burn staples.
