Red Deck Redemption

Standard* Devotion Mono-Red

***Looking for recommendations on improvement. I am currently torn on some of the choices, but the aim is to keep devotion up. That's why I opted not to use much burn or instant/sorcery cards.

After waving goodbye to the RtR block, I was sad to see my Red Deck Wins devotion deck go out the window. With the Fate Reforged addition to the Khans block, I am hoping to see a revival in mono-red devotion.

Flamewake Phoenix looks to be an excellent replacement to Chandra's Phoenix and with our Titan's Strength, every creature in the deck can trigger the ferocious ability.

Purphoros, God of the Forge will not only be great as a creature from the devotion, but will also trigger plenty of times when creatures come in. It will have opponents second guessing whether they want to kill your Flamewake Phoenix or not.

Monastery Swiftspear starts us off fast, especially if we can get a Titan's Strength or Dragon Mantle out turn 2. Eidolon of the Great Revel will get in for some quick damage, but the 2 red devotion makes him an excellent candidate for this deck.

Generator Servant seemed out of place at first, and there may be better replacements, but landing a Sarkhan, the dragon speaker turn 3 will definitely have most opponents cringing.

Hammer of Purphoros helps us avoid drowning in lands and can help with the devotion.
