ok so im trying different deck idea for the grand prix in dallas. this is a RW deck i put together off different ideas. i wanted to post it before i try it at FNM and to get input on it. i also wanted an opinion on if i should run the hawks so that way i can get 3 creature drops in a row to either protect myself or swing away or if i want to use Goblin Guide for early beat down. so heres my deck.
So what i was hoping to do with this deck is to use the mystics to get out a collar or 1 of the swords. I want to use the collar on the sparkmage to ping until i can get out the titan and put the collar on him to blow it up. not sure on a side board yet.
take out 1 collar, take out 1 inferno titan and 3 cunning sparkmage and use the goblin guides cause if they get a sword on them they are sick,take out pyroclasm and day of judgment for maybe some combination of mirran crusader and spikeshot elder, red suns is just bad in my opinion and change the stagershocks for burst or arch trail. maybe even geopede and/or steppe linx. but that just makes it more boros
Mimic Vat and Hero of Oxid Ridge. They give you a chance against valakut and control. Sideboard the pyroclasm because you only really need them against super aggro. Go up to more lands because u are a midrangy deck not an aggro deck.
He is so man, he is mario, and I will tell my opponents such. As and when I bounce their permanent I will exclaim "MARIO" as though he were stomped on by our mighty Jace. Every time someone kill him I will give them 99 USD (not AUS!!!) because their lightning bolt should cost 100 DOLLARS...
Jace even made it into the Teenage Super Hero Mutant Ninja Hero Turtles.
Slagstorm over Pyroclasm. It's going to be relevant most of the time, and Pyro fries most of your own critters anyways. I'd put the Pyro in the board personally. I like your list, I'll have to give it a try.
@akahigi : what good is a single Ratchet Bomb in your sb? just curious, the chances of topdecking it are pretty slim....

Its pyroclasm number 5. I prefer pyro over ratchet bomb, it is there because i feel like i needed a 5th sweeper against super aggros.

makes sense. Ratchet Bomb does totally wreck alot of decks out there. How's the Hero of Oxid Ridge working out for you? It has some good synergy with Koth and Squawks.

Hero is the best red card in standard right now no doubt about that. I originally had Elspeth/Gideon in place of Heros until someone suggested Heros to me. I tested it and never looked back.
It kills planeswalkers, gives me an alpha equipment strike against critter decks and it is so easy to race valakut alongside koth and ignus. They usually have removal for ignus and they open themselves to ridges and koth, it is practically the only way you can win against Valakut alongside with the pressure from the swords.
spark collar or koth/swords or koth/ridges or swords/squad or mimic vat/titans gives the deck a lot of angle to attack from.

I like the deck as is cause it seems very fast, but if 8 was going to add the Hero of Oxridge I would take out 1 stoneforge and 1 spike shot elder. But i think you should try this deck first
yeah i kinda wanna keep the titans and add the heros because of the abilities. if its a long game and i have a titan out. equip a collar and blow up creatures before i swing free. then if i got hero out no more chump blocking. But ill try it like this before i do any other edits.

I would also prefer Arc Trail over StaggerShock.
