Building this deck 4 fun... But I believe that this KTK block can make Mono Red competitive.
Yet, I'm having problems with the mana curve. At the point that the deck works, turns out to be on 5~7 turn.
The wincons are simple: dashing Flamerush Rider creating a token of Goblin Heelcutter(dashing too), attacking with Sarkhan and some creature control.
The deck looks good, It's on the right way, but to be really competitive it needs to be faster.
1) This should be in 'Decks for Critique' not here. This section I for established decks/archetypes.
2) Building a deck with spoiled cards but not released cards can be problematic because there's no way to test without proxies.
3) The curve is much too high for only 20 lands. I'd say you need at least 22.
With all that being said, i'd do something like this:
Point: To overload your opponent with an aggressive curve and burn out your opponents blockers. Maybe use Humble Deflector in place of the Instigator
and Act of Treason instead of voice. If i'm not mistaken, it's combo potential. Draw 2 off Deflector, he switches sides. Act of Treason on him, draw 2 and he remains on your side. Could be wrong though.

Thank you all.
