A mono-red prowess/damage doubling build looking to smash past your opponent's defense with one of your prowess creatures for early lethal with the help of damage-doubling cards. This deck can reliably hit lethal on turn 4/5, and even when it doesn't there's nothing quite like smashing your opponent in the face for double-digit damage off of a 1-drop.

All suggestions and critiques are welcome!

Creatures

• Monastery Swiftspear our bread-and-butter haste and prowess beater for {R} that can hit for lethal off of almost any unblocked hit.
• Soul-Scar Mage is basically 4 more Monastery Swiftspear.
• Runaway Steam-Kin can quickly grow to 4/4 size and drop some of those counters for {R}{R}{R} to fuel a winning string of instants.
• Bedlam Reveler A late game 3/4 with Prowess that lets us discard our hand and draw 3 cards on enter, hopefully giving us the last bit of fuel we need to finish off an opponent.

Non-Creatures

• Infuriate is a cheap pump spell that can deal colossal damage when paired with a damage doubler.
• Wild Slash is a Shock with slight upside.
• Lightning Strike can help us clear away some slightly larger threats or chip in just a bit more damage than Wild Slash.
• Temur Battle Rage will trigger prowess and can quickly convert our damage to lethal.
• Thrill of Possibility helps us smooth out or hand by dumping our less useful cards for better options while triggering prowess.
• Light Up the Stage gives us a good souce of impulse draw to keep us running smoothly.
• Insult / Injury can double all of our damage for a turn (on top of any double-striking that we might be doing) and can chip in a little bit of damage from the graveyard after that.

Sideboard

• Abrade is a versatile answer to midrange or artifact decks.
• Cinderclasm can clear out tiny token creatures.
• Kari Zev's Expertise can let us take a large creature from our opponents for a turn, and cast an extra free spell afterwards.
• Skullcrack can fizzle lifegain strategies.
• Tormod's Crypt will stop graveyard strategies, and will also trigger prowess for free to boot.
