Syr Carah is one of the most exciting Mono-Red commanders in quite some time. She looks like a burn commander, but you don't have to build her as that at all - in fact, you shouldn't, since Burn is terrible in EDH. It's much better to treat Syr Carah as just a value engine.

You're getting a one-sided Howling Mine. In Mono-Red. And that's the baseline.

This deck does run a few burn spells, since Volcanic Spray + Syr Carah works out to "Ancestral Recall with Flashback" in a four-player game. Mostly you want spells that can deal damage to multiple opponents at once. There's also a few big X spells that can end games, but still: Not technically a burn deck.

To support this, we need mana, and a lot of it. There's some conventional ramp in Red, but the "mana doublers" are a lot more important. Mana Flare is somewhat questionable, since it ramps your opponents as well, but Caged Sun and the two Gauntles help a lot.
