Mono-Red Voltron with Chandra's Spitfire

Chandra's Spitfire is a very well designed card. The art and flying mechanic allude to the Spitfire planes used by Allied countries in WWI & II while the damage mechanic and knowledge of Chandra's story speak to her fiery mouth and temper. The premise of the deck is simple: get Chandra's Spitfire out and deal some damage. To that end there are myriad ways in the deck to proc damage on each opponent at once, as well as some repeating effects and fail safe cards like Claws of Valakut for when dealing damage doesn't boost her enough. Striking a balance between creatures, artifacts, and non-permanents for the various pingers was hard but I believe the deck is tuned enough to never have your type-limited pingers (like Impact Tremors , Embraal Gear-Smasher , and Firebrand Archer ) be useless. Being Mono-Red there is not much in the way of card advantage so most of the non-damage effects double as blockers or cantrips. You'll most likely only get to cast Spitfire 2-3 times before you die so make sure the damage is going to stick before you commit. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
