All right I updated the deck more over the past while.

Added Feldon's Cane to try to keep a grip on the late game. Took out Book Burning since it seemed to have too little impact on the game, at least compared to other things in the list. Took out Mogg Bombers for Lavaborn Muse for repeatable damage. Still going to keep the two beaters in the deck, but Took out Butcher Orgg for Kamahl, Pit Fighter. The fact he can tap to do a lighting bolt is better than the former. Another addition is Devastating Dreams as the finisher. Cards like Jayemdae Tome and (hopefully) Browbeat will draw me enough cards, and might even luck out & shuffle my graveyard into my libary afterward.

While I do agree with opponents choosing two different options a terrible idea most of the time, the thing is with damage and fairly low cmc means that eventually your opponent will just have to do what I want. It's not like Library of Lat-Nam, where its too expensive to play too much, and it's always going to be the far worse option. Least the way I see it. Also I'm going to replace Dwarven Ruins with Balduvian Trading Post when i can. Thing that sucks is I already ordered the cards before these recent revisions. So I guess I'll live with it until I see one. Same goes for the most of the other replacements.

A few things to consider:

• Swap Browbeat with Brass's Tunnel-Grinder  ^Flip. You can exchange it. It can dig deeper. It doesn't generate card advantage but people can't pay life to counter it either.
• Swap Springjack Pasture with Mirrex.
• Add Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance.
• Seasoned Pyromancer could be good.

SufferFromEDHD Thank you for the recommendations!

I was initially running Harness the Storm but as much as I found it hilarious to play in a singleton format like Commander, I didn't like having to pay the full spell cost for each copy.

I might have to put one more ramp spell in the deck and even though it's technically not ramp I very much like Expedition Map to grab Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle or War Room.

Gamble would absolutely win more games as I guarantee I would use it to find Thrumming Stone 9 times out of 10. I'm trying to show restraint so this doesn't end up being even more of a combo deck.

I really like the punisher cards you suggest like Browbeat for card advantage or damage. I dislike giving opponents the choice of which is the lesser evil though even with the double damage upside. For now, I think a few looting draw spells and "draw 7 cards" wheel effects work well enough because I can discard Dragon's Approach and speed up cheating a dragon into play.

Breaking Point, Browbeat, Blazing Salvo, Molten Influence, Skullscorch the rattle snake cards get a serious boost alongside Solphim.

Expedition Map to get that Valakut.

Gamble get whatever you need.

Bonus Round win the game.

Final Fortune possibly, maybe?

Harness the Storm similar jank to Pyromancer Ascension that has no place in EDH but Dragon's Approach turns it into an engine.

TheMeadiator I like Browbeat and Risk Factor, used both in other decks. I've decided to mainboard 2x Lead the Stampede as it can draw me more cards than Browbeat.

Colossal Majesty is a bit too slow for me, and Dawn of Hope doesn't make much sense here since I dont use Lifelink

I agree that more craw draw is necessary, but it's hard to find good one in these colors for a tribal deck

If you're going for Sligh, have you thought about Bonecrusher Giant? This offers you Stomp for 1R, which cancels damage prevention and deals 2 damage, then when you've got nothing better to play it's a 4/3 for 3 with upside. I think it's a better Flametongue Kavu, though both might be worth looking at.

I'm not sure about Jackal Pup in this age and day, there are 2/1s that don't have a drawback you could be running in mono-red, Falkenrath Pit Fighter and Falkenrath Gorger both seem better, Pit Fighter can turn into new cards when it's too small to matter.

I think if you ever want to run Shock, you should probably run Seal of Fire first, Seal can come down turn 1 and is damage on board until you need it, which can let you snipe something like a Thalia, Guardian of Thraben or Eidolon of the Great Revel without hassles. I added x2 of it to my Burn deck to help my Dragon's Rage Channeler work better, but there are a lot of tough matches where I really love the card.

I can't decide if a Browbeat or two would work in here, there is also Risk Factor, 'damage or cards' is pretty scary if you've got 4 Mountains and might pull 2 Fireblasts.
