I've did a little googling and found older (3+years old) decks that are built around the 20/20/20 strategy, 20 lands, 20 creatures, 20 spells. It doesn't seem to be the go-to construction method of red decks these days. Most red decks are either burn (little to no creatures) or the creature-heavy RDW or Goblin decks, featuring 30+ creatures. What I'm trying to craft is nostalgic. When I first started playing MtG back in 1997, a friend of mine had a deck he steamrolled me over with. It had Bolts and Incinerates, Fireblasts and that --then-- new card, Shock. And it had Suq'ata Lancer, a creature with Haste and Flanking, and Viashino Sandstalker, and the mighty Ball Lightning. Here's what I'm thinking so far:
It's no means complete. I won't buy another set of Chain Lightnings. They'd be an auto-include.
There's plenty of great red auras worth considering.
Another route would be to add Fanatic of Mogis, a card I imagined crafting a mono red devotion peasant deck around.
4 Valley Dasher
4 Jackal Familiar
2 Oxxida Golem
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Fireblasts
4 Incinerate

Do you have any input?
