2 big weaknesses for Mono Red: 1. Card Draw. Red suffers with getting cards into hand, so anything that will allow you to get access to cards to play is essential: Outpost Siege. 2. Recovery. This deck is majorly setback because it lacks card draw, so if a board wipe happens, you’ll struggle with getting back into the game.

These two weaknesses make the deck fragile, the only way to combat this is to win fast and throw caution to the wind. Play strong, big plays as fast as you can while your opponents are ramping up for mid to late game.

Once you have 5 sources of Mana in this deck, you’ll be able to cast most everything in your deck, so a lynchpin is the Goblin Recruiter, which will then load you up with Goblins to play. Boggart Shenanigans is technically a Goblin card, so if you have a way to make Goblins (Krenko), then use Purphoros to deal 2 damage each time a creature enters the battlefield, then as you swing in with your Goblins, Boggart Shenanigans allows you to do damage on the back end.

Another idea is to use Altar of the Brood and Purphoros to have maximum setbacks to library size and life total to your opponents once Krenko starts doing his thing.

You have to protect Krenko from targeted removal at all costs, or you will be set back so far you will lose.
