Went out to my LGS last night and met the weekly group. I had a ton of fun, but got totally blown out in most of my games. This is fine, since I mostly just went to introduce myself and get an idea of the kinds of decks that people run, but I can see it getting old really fast if I keep bringing weak decks.

I built it this morning, and was hoping I could get some input on it.

Mono-Red Aggro/Burn

Creatures

Bloodfire Expert x3
Borderland Marauder x 4
Flamespeaker Adept
Frenzied Goblin
Minotaur Skullcleaver x2
Sigiled Skink x2
Soul of Shandalar
Valley Dasher x3
War-Name Aspirant x3


Instants

Fiery Fall x2
Lightning Strike x4
Magma Jet
Magma Spray x2
Rouse the Mob
Searing Blood
Shock
Trumpet Blast x2

Sorceries

Arrow Storm x2
Bolt of Keranos x2
Lava Axe x2

Enchantments

Dragon Grip x2

Lands

Ghitu Encampment
Mountain x17

The idea is to either use the creatures as a meat shield while burning their life points away with the spells, or to overrun the board with cheap, heavy hitting dudes early on and use the spells for removal. If the latter is the case, there's also some Synergy with all the spells and the Bloodfire Experts and the Flamespeaker Adept. I would love to add in some more Magma Jets and Bolts for extra synergy and more removal/burn, but I don't have any more to add, =/

I would really like some input on this deck; it looks pretty strong, but I'm not very well acquainted with some of the intricacies of the game yet.

Thanks in advance, smile
