I'd go something amongst the lines of this, on a simpler Mono R version

Creature Base

1. 4x Brighthearth Banneret
2. 4x Fire Urchin
3. 4x Kiln Fiend
4. 4x Lavakin Brawler
5. 4x Goblin Smuggler
6. 4x Pyre Hound

Spells Base

1. 4x Built to Smash
2. 4x Brute Force
3. 4x Titan's Strength
4. 4x Infuriate

There's a cheeky combo you can throw in if you'd like as well with Brighthearth Banneret + Brighthearth Banneret + Grinning Ignus for infinite mana, and use Fiery Hellhound or Igneous Cur or Inner-Flame Igniter or any of those Pay : gains +x/+x

I find it really wierd you have no elementals (almost none) in this deck, the whole point of omnath is to flood out whith elementals, on that note some cards that do some serious work with omnath include Animar, Soul of Elements, Chandra's Spitfire, Fire Urchin, Forgotten Ancient, Guile, Lavakin Brawler, Scampering Scorcher, and especially Risen Reef is a power house, these are just a few that are good across the board then depending on your theme you can add others to make it truly insane, omnath can get out of control fairly quickly.

Fire Urchin / Thunderkin Awakener and Firebrand Archer or Thermo-Alchemist make nice additions alongside spitfire. Nivix Cyclops saw play in Temur Battle Rage combo lists.

Soul-Scar Mage & Immolation Shaman might have sideboard spots. Satyr Firedancer has always looked far better than it is-don't bother.

Foundry Street Denizen , Goblin Piledriver , Goblin Instigator , Hordeling Outburst and similar goblin spam does a lot.

Burning Prophet is interesting card filtering, as is Magma Jet . Kari Zev, Skyship Raider is efficient, and Tilonalli's Summoner is cute af.

Dreadhorde Arcanist / Young Pyromancer ; strong and meta, but end up defining any deck they are in. Break Through the Line is an interesting enabler, but cards that aren't dealing damage are a little weak here.

Are you new to Magic, RandomAsian137? If so, Welcome to the Fold!

Standard... budget mono...

I'd run Shock and Lightning Strike over Shivan Fire and maybe drop a few of the enchantments. That can go to the face as well as removing creatures. Fight with Fire is another good option that can hit a larger creature early on, or dome them for 10 late... can even one-shot kill if The Flame of Keld procs 3rd saga goes off with the kick.

Fanatical Firebrand is also one of the best 1Drops. I'd consider adding just for the utility of having another aggressive play and can just tap-sac to ping damage.

I like all the spell-play opportunity with Fire Urchin. I'm wondering if using that and something like Maximize Velocity to give it haste would be worth it... could discard a land, and cast it again for another trigger. I don't know if it's better than your build... but it's got me thinking.

Regardless, looks fun. Hope this helps.

Any thoughts on sideboard?

I think i‘d cut/remove the Fire Urchin and Goblin Electromancer in favor of Enigma Drake and Crackling Drake, they are a lot of airborne pressure, the - for spells is Not really vital in this Deck, the drakes are better threats than the Urchin. At 22 Lands this won‘t Hurt your curve,... Good luck with your Deck!

Fire Urchin could be interesting in this deck.

What about any of the following? Dual Shot
Integrity / Intervention
Mutiny
Blazing Hope
Fire Urchin
Guttersnipe
Healer's Hawk or Hunted Witness
Ajani's Pridemate ???

FastIsFaster The real reason is they really don't benefit much in casting spells. Sure, they work well with Adeliz, but the only one who doesn't is Fire Urchin
