16 Lightning Bolts, Great blockers and damage to the dome from creatures, a faster clock than any deck in standard and a difficult to interact with gameplan. Sounds like RDW is back baby!
This list functions remarkably like Modern Burn, a deck I've played for years. RNA gives burn a lot of new playthings, including a new sorcery bolt in Skewer the Critics, a red thoughtcast in light up the stage, and a standard-sized version of sulfuric vortex with a 0/2 butt in spear spewer.
Areas to work on:
SB, Ghitu Lavarunner and Wizard's Lightning. SB is far from final and will depend on how the meta resolves itself, but i've included a couple great catch-alls that should be fine for week 1 and 2. Ghitu lavarunner is there as a wizard lightning enabler and another 1-drop, but is definitely one of the weakest cards in the deck. If there is a version with fewer wizard's lightning, I would drop these.
The scariest part of this deck is that it’s so ridiculously cheap to make and straightforward to pilot that you can fully expect to see something like this all over Arena and FNMs as soon as the set releases. The rares are not that crucial, although Risk Factor in particular is super strong, so a no-rare version can be built and played by basically anyone.
What about Rix Maadi Reveler instead of The Flame of Keld? Its spectacle cost is high, but it’s a way to refill your hand without having to wait a turn to get cards back. It can also pitch Risk Factors early and let you cast hem later, when they are more likely to draw you cards and win after the opponent tries to stabilize. There is a black splash there, but you can cover that with Blood Crypt and Dragonskull Summit with very little cost.
