Sorry, I’m not exactly sure what you’re asking about the color ratio, but when putting together my mana base I figured most things were colorless so didn’t matter too much what color, but the main thing I wanted it for was the Commander’s activated ability, so wanted to make sure all 5 colors were evenly represented. Then I added in Chromatic Lantern, Chromatic Orrery, The World Tree, and Cryptolith Rite as my main mana fixers.

As for the cards you suggested, truthfully I didn’t know about Pia's Revolution until you mentioned it here. While I do think that Sai, Master Thopterist is the more reliable card, only needing itself to work and not relying on opponents avoiding the damage, I don’t like having the extra Thopters not getting much else unless Mirror Entity or Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer are in play. Since I already have a Sarcomite Myr in this deck, I might just work Pia into it. Thanks for letting me know about it!

(Also, that would give me more cause to also add Kuldotha Forgemaster to the deck as well)

Also, Pia's Revolution/Sarcomite Myr vs. Sai, Master Thopterist… Which would be more effective?

Poly_raptor no worries! I totally get life happens sometimes. :) I appreciate the suggestions a lot! I definitely wanna find a place for Pia's Revolution- Ghirapur AEther Grid as well. It's tricky finding cards to cut but I will definitely add them to the Maybeboard! Thank you for the suggestions!

Hello, sorry for taking a while to post feedback, I was busy at work and then a family bbq made for a hectic weekend!

This looks like a well thought out deck. Unfortunately I am not particularly good with mono red so I don’t know lots of cards straight away that may be of any use. Having said that, I do think Pia's Revolution could be a good option at some extra recursion for when you sac artifacts.

Biggest question - how competitive do you want to be? Cause there are great sacrifice cards and effects for competitive play that just shouldn't mix with things on a more fun casual level.

On the competitive end, I'd look at CMC 1 and two, with a focus on card advantage and disruption; Bomat Courier for refilling the hand, Cabal Therapist as ersatz thoughtsieze, Carrion Feeder and Ravenous Squirrel as a chunky creature and repeatable sac outlet, cards like Dockside Chef as extra squirrel copies, there are a lot of really good options.

The hard part is what you are trying to sacrifice - cards that like being in the graveyard and come back tend to get pricy, meaning that you'll probably get more from token value - Mogg War Marshal is about the best budget option, but even there its only 3 triggers for two mana. An artifacts matter list is an option - bomat courier, Glaze Fiend, the dog from the new set and so on would let you run Oni-Cult Anvil or Pia's Revolution for a lot of value, while also taking advantage of treasure, blood food and other 'artifact tokens' as they are printed.

Young Pyromancer is a classic for a reason, but it does need instants and sorceries - more value from Dragon Fodder, but less from return from graveyard effects.

All told, a lot of it is about the kind of deck you want to build. All in elemental awakener is great, trying to loop changelings with awakener and stuff like Prowess of the Fair is hilarious if you want to go that route too.

The most annoying card (in my opinion) to play against in red affinity is Pia's Revolution

This is such a cool deck idea! My only thought would be maintaining enough cards in hand, especially given your number of 0 CMC cards that will likely be depleted immediately after Pia's Revolution is cast. I might consider adding some draw strength like Dangerous Wager or Magmatic Insight to supplement this, and keep you dropping artifacts on your opponents at a dangerous pace!

Honestly this is a really cool deck, great work!

Interesting deck built around Pia's Revolution , I didn't actually know that card existed.

Some suggestions:

Terrarion over Chromatic Sphere

Shrapnel Blast / Kuldotha Rebirth as extra sack outlets
