Here's a fun little control build for mono-red. It features everything one would expect from a control deck in kill spells, lots of mana, some draw spells, and 3-4 win conditions. It's quite fair, with no over-the-top shenanigans, preferring to slowly chip away with Purphoros, God of the Forge swinging and having his ability get triggered by Throne of Empires , Goblin Assault, Chandra, Flamecaller , Rite of the Raging Storm, and Akroan Horse.

In order to get to the point of actually, possibly winning, this beauty runs several land destruction spells backed up by mana rocks to ensure I can still cast spells afterwards while my opponents are without land. If there's any other heavy hitters in red to serve as finishers, or good utility cards please feel free to respond! This is still a bit of a work in progress and I would love to hear.
