With Firebrand Archer being like a 5th-8th Thermo-Alchemist I was wondering if there might be a fast mono-red budget deck out there.
Here's what I'm starting with:
Creatures (14)
4 x Soul-Scar Mage
4 x Firebrand Archer
4 x Thermo-Alchemist
2 x Bedlam Reveler
Spells (26)
4 x Shock
4 x Incendiary Flow
4 x Expedite
4 x Renegade Tactics
4 x Crash Through
4 x Fiery Temper
2 x Collective Defiance (or maybe Open Fire or Lightning Axe)
Lands (20)
18 x Mountain
2 x Ramunap Ruins (Figured it won't hurt you most of the time, and can do just a little extra if you flood)
This was just kind of off-the top of my head. I'm sure a UR version of this would be better, but the options get a lot more complicated (though I'd be happy to see what might go in there and still keep things low to the ground, Slip Through Space, Stormchaser Mage, Negate)
Obviously it's completely vulnerable to sweepers but it's also budget mono-red.
I think it's going to be too slow. Soul-Scar Mage into Earthshaker Khenra into Ahn-Crop Crasher is a really nice curve to put early pressure on your opponent while you bring your burn package online.

Let me know what you think, any suggestions, etc.
I want to see the Firebrand Archer + Thermo-Alchemist deck work, but I'm not sold that budget mono-Red is the place for it.
