{"ops":[{"insert":"My take on a Mono-Red Spellslinger Burn that wants to win by turn 5.\n\nKeep a hand that has 3 lands, either a cost reducer and/or a mana producer (ideally both), and at least one impulse draw or loot spell. You can afford to mulligan down to 5 and keep 2 lands at worst, but there is a lot of redundancy built into this deck, so it shouldn't need to.\n\nTurn 1 is just Mountain Pass. You can cast DRC here, but it doesn't do much and may just get removed.\n\nBest turn 2 plays are Ruby Medallion, Helm of Awakening, Braid of Fire, Runaway Steam-Kin, Firebending Student, or Artist's Talent in that order, but you can play a 2 mana pinger as there are back ups in case it dies early. Avoid playing Hexing Squelcher or Spider-Punk turn 2 to prevent early/cheap removal hitting them, as people should know they are threats and you won't be able to use a protection spell. Don't worry about getting pingers out right away if you don't play one here. The goal is to focus on getting to a mana positive board state for turn 4 or 5. You will natural draw into and play them as you sling.\n\nTurn 3 play Electro, if you played Ruby or Helm on turn 2 and have a 1R permanent from the turn 2 list, play one of them (Note: Play the Steam-Kin before Electro for the +1/+1 counter). Only play Squelcher or Punk if you have Deflecting Swat.\n\nTurn 4 is the decision moment. Play a reducer or producer if you haven't already. Then evaluate the board. The \"ideal\" set up for a turn 4 pop off is Ruby/Helm turn 2, Electro and Steam-Kin/ Firebending Student turn 3, then Birgi/The Vision and Scarlet Witch/Treasonous Ogre turn 4 and you should have 1-2 mana at your disposal. If you have a ritual in hand, especially Jeska's Will. You should be able to go for it. Hex Magic is also insane here, depending on what you hit it can help you pop off now, or store those exiled cards for turn 5. The other impulses other than Zenith Festival are also safe to play here. BUT FIRST check that degenerate blue player's board for untapped mana. If you are clear, you can risk it now (or float/store the mana with Electro for turn 5. If you turn 4 reducer is Primal Amulet, wait for turn 5 unless your turn 2 was helm. Also, if you aren't going to pop off, don't play Aetherflux Reservoir here, it will increase your threat value too much. Cast it as some point during turn 5 when you have accrued enough mana to keep storming off after.\n\nIf you made it to turn 5, this is were you pop off. Play Squelcher and Punk if you have them. Play out 1 pinger if you have it, don't worry if you don't yet. From here, we bet it all on red and LET IT RIDE! Start slinging those impulses, rummagers, cantrips. Wheel to refill your hand. If you somehow get in a tight spot mana wise. Go to combat and use Firebending Student to refill your coffers. Burn the table down and show your victims how solitaire works.\n\nNotable mono red infinite combos in Maybeboard to bump to bracket 4, Reiterate can go infinite with Jeska's Will or Mana Geyser and Grinning Ignus go infinite with Birgi. I don't have them in because I like the non-deterministic nature of the deck. Pros: Hitting them ends the game and speeds up getting to the next one. Cons: It's not as cool or fun IMO.\n"}]}
