I love taking a mediocre card and trying to make something out of it, so here goes. Like most of my EDH's, it revolves heavily around the general.

There was really two ways to go with it. The first was that you could go with a sort of artifact approach, with Goblin Welder and Slobad and Daretti and Trash for Treasure and Bosh and Feldon and stuff.

The other way is to really leverage the fact that opponents never really know if you're going to buff Lannery, or if you're bluffing. Attack confidently and keep mana open, and they'll be extra nervous to block.

The most obvious fun thing to do is to combine sac'ing treasures with firebreathing for a bit of a double-whammy. So we did that with the help of some mantles and Ghitu shiz: Dragon Mantle, Fiery Mantle, Ghitu Firebreathing, Ghitu War Cry. We also sweeten that with some first strike stuff so opponents will be doubly wary. Claws of Valakut works doubly well for that in mono-red, but we also have a bunch of equipment for that. Deathtouch pairs well with first-strike, so let's throw in Basilisk's Collar. Prodigal Pyromancer pairs well with that, so heck, let's add him too.

Now you know I'm all about Flavortown, so let's see what we got. Must haves include:

• Treasure Map  
• Wily Goblin
• Prying Blade
• Curse of Opulence - sure it's not treasure, but damn we can't not have this one in there!
• Trove of Temptation - oof, what can we do about this?

Sure, Trove of Temptation isn't that great. Some might say it's downright terrible. Don't care. So what can we do about it? Slumbering Dragon is a good match, and perfectly on-message, what with it's horde and all. Stone Idol Trap is equally terrible but fun, so screw it, let's throw that in. Maybe we can even make them pay a bit with Stuffy Doll. There's a bunch of fun pairs it with Shivan Meteor or Star of Extinction.

Now normally, burn is kind-of a no-go in EDH but let's do this. In general, X-cost spells work well here, and since so much is instant-speed we'll throw in Braid of Fire (which we can also vent to Firebreathing). Inspiring Statuary works really nicely too, letting us re-use treasures. Pyromancer's Goggles (maybe even paired with Strionic Resonator?!?) and Fork and Reverberate can lead to some hilarious swings. The mono-staples of Gauntlet of Power and Caged Sun help here too.

Is this deck good? No. Is it fun? Hell yeah!

Biggest improvement to make would be mono-red staples like artifact destruction and stuff: https://edhrec.com/commanders/r
