Braid of Fire doesn't really do much for burn decks. It does gain momentum, but you're left with a pile of mana and nothing special to use it on. It also takes away the option of reactivity, which can be a concern in certain matchups. It's much more of a combo card than an aggro card.

Braid of Fire seems pointless:

  • It's one-less burn spell in hand

  • Burn only needs 2 mana to do everything it needs to, and so by the time you can cast this you already don't want/need more mana

  • it can only help you cast instant speed stuff, so not even universally helpful at ramping you.

Do y'all think Braid of Fire is useful? Seems slow, but gains momentum.

The issue with Braid of Fire is that it adds all of the red at the start of your upkeep. Which is then lost as soon as you move to the next phase. So unless you deeply care about casting any of your instants with it, none of which are mono-red, I don't think Braid will do too much for you.

Radiant Destiny feels underpowered for this deck- it's not like adding +1/+1 to the Avatars is gonna be a big swing.

Have you considered adding Braid of Fire for ever increasing quantities of mana?

As Imodane is rather powerful in a deck like this, I'd recommend adding in some stuff that either prevents Imodane from being countered (maybe some counters of your own like Pyroblast/Red Elemental Blast) when he's cast and/or stuff to protect him from (targeted) removal (the boots (Lightning Greaves/Swiftfoot Boots).

Also, I should point out that currently the deck has very few resources available to draw additional cards with. You can add some utility lands to help you out (Bonders' Enclave/Mikokoro, Center of the Sea/War Room) or maybe some more non-permanents (my favorites in mono-red include Seize the Spotlight/Valakut Awakening  Flip/Wheel of Misfortune)

Last but not least, would care to hear your thoughts on also including Braid of Fire. I'm thinking it might be worth it, considering the amount of damage-instants you're running.

Neat. While looking at this pile I saw a synergy I've never noticed. Braid of Fire is PB&J with Hammer.

Thunderblade Charge this is the most powerful buyback/flashback/jump-start spell in the game. It's an expensive Lightning Bolt but it never leaves the graveyard!

Hi grumbledore, I've noticed that quite a few of the following cards are uncategorized, and figured they could fit into some of the following categories you have on site:

This is not an exhaustive list, but some of the ones I noticed from looking at my own deck categories.
