DreadKhan on assault

Not sure if it's really worth the investment, but the old Kjeldoran Outpost and Balduvian Trading Post can lower your land count while offering either a decent token generator or a bad damage source, Trading Post doesn't cost you mana, just fixing. I guess you'd have to pull Aether Flash to put in Outpost, so perhaps as a sideboard card? Just had a thought, but Goblin Chainwhirler is a pretty fun card to play vs decks using small creatures, not sure if 1 damage would be enough to matter compared to Flash hitting stuff for 2.

I get that instants are better than sorceries in almost all situations, but I feel like Retribution of the Meek is just much bigger than Reprisal, while still being lower to the ground than Wrath of God. Also worth a look (and cheaper) is Slaughter the Strong, which will kill all of their creatures if none are small enough to survive, and solves wide boards of even Indestructible creatures, as it's a sacrifice effect.

It's a bit out there for sure (most people openly despise these cards), but I have had some luck using Risk Factor and Browbeat to just bulk draw cards for mana in Red, the key was using it in a deck that would seriously consider playing either as a Burn spell with no possibility of cards, but that's often what it will be (most people start worrying about Fireblast and hate to go below 9 life, and might start feeding cards). I feel like your Seismic Assault is pretty synergistic, they almost have to give you the cards to avoid taking more damage, and I think you win via damage usually?

Interesting deck for sure! I know next to nothing about Legacy but this certainly seems like a cool idea! I've never seen mono red cat tribal before and I would love to see this play out :)

In terms of advice, I would suggest crafting a sideboard that shifts your deck away from creature aggro into straight up burn. If you ever end up going against a deck with lots of creature hate (which has happened to me a LOT), you could swap some pieces around and surprise your opponent with a powerful burn package. If budget isn't an issue, the obvious includes are things like Lava Spike, Chain Lightning, Fireblast, and even a Thunderous Wrath or two. Alternatively, if you run against decks with a lot of non-basics, Price of Progress can cause massive blowouts!

Love this idea and deck!

How about Thunderclap or Fireblast x2 in place of 2 of your Burning Salvos? There is also Mine Collapse.

Thoughts on Light Up the Stage?

Not sure if you're looking for a little graveyard recursion in reusing spells, but thoughts on Faithless Looting, Volcanic Spray, and Firecat Blitz? Faithless usually helps with any gas issues--same goes with Burning Inquiry if you you're looking to go through the deck. I run those in my mono-red deck but utilize a lot of flashback. Your deck is more straight burn, but figured I toss those ideas out there! Again, awesome deck--cheers!

Legacy & Vintage are not "fair" formats. What I mean is, if you're not doing ridiculously "unfair" shenanigans, you're not going to have a good time..

I think Burn is the "fairest" deck in Legacy, and it likes to end things Turn-3 with Fireblast

Have you considered Fireblast in here?

FrankieG - yeah good point about Foil and Fireblast . Im coming from the point of view of PDH where foil gets a lot more play than Fireblast does. Ill add a section for free flashback costs and things like Battle Screech and Prismatic Strands

What about Prismatic Strands and stuff like that? Those ones actually see play (unlike Foil , but not unlike Fireblast which is below it on the list)!

ClockworkSwordfish Skewer the Critics would probably take the place of Magma Jet in this deck since Reverberate is much more useful when paired with Fireblast since I can get 8 damage with 2 mana and its drawn consistently enough to keep in in there. Rift Bolt is another good suggestion and would probably take the place of Flame Rift .
