WItC on Budget Beginner Teaching Decks (#2 Red)

Update complete. Chandra's Spitfire to replace Impetuous Sunchaser. This and Twinferno has given red some good reach and it remains a strong deck without the Kiln Fiend +3 combos.

I also added Skyship Stalker to the maybelist. I good basic red dragon with stereotypical red abilities. It could replace Jeska, Warrior Adept to cut down the cost, but she is sort of a figurehead for the deck and I am reluctant to remove her.

Sme4: Thank you

Baileybelson2: The Festival Crasher is a great idea, as is Twinferno. Art is better with Twinferno and as a bonus, so is cost. However, it toned down the power of the red deck a little too much, so I decided to switch the Impetuous Sunchaser as well. New updae to follow. Thank you for the good ideas.

Thanks again for making these- a brilliant resource.

A previous commenter mentioned the explosiveness of the deck might be too high with the turn 3 synergy of Kiln Fiend into Rush of Adrenaline + Assault Strobe + any other instant/sorcery = 24 damage.

I can see the idea that this is the point of the deck, but also that losing to this feels like it was barely a game and wasn’t fun/interactive.

Suggestions on how the deck might just slightly slow down whilst retaining explosiveness with some substitutions from newer sets:

1. Festival Crasher stands in for Kiln Fiend, has a more modest +2/+0 per instant/sorcery. The turn 3 combo becomes 18 damage instead of 24.

2. Twinferno stands in for Assault Strobe. Costing 1 more to cast, the turn 3 combo becomes 18 damage instead of 24. Personally I find Twinferno to have more thematic art and flavour for a red deck, and the modal casting adds some more gameplay depth too. A further alternative is Two-Headed Hunter as an adventure instant, but ungainly complexity.
