The deck

A mono-red spellslinger build of Ashling the Pilgrim highly based on this article (https://articles.edhrec.com/monomania-nuclear-codes/) on EDHRec. The aim of the deck ramp to big red mana using rocks, mana doublers and sorceries like Mana Geyser and Brass's Bounty . Ashling works as a boardwipe-on-a-stick and also doubles as a lifegain mechanic with Basilisk Collar , Batterskull and Loxodon Warhammer .

Main wincons

• Ashling herself can produce a lot of damage, especially coupled with a damage doubler like Dictate of the Twin Gods
• Mana Geyser + Reiterate and Brass's Bounty + Reiterate produce infinite mana and infinite storm provided there is enough mana to start the chain (11 needed for Mana Geyser ). After infinite mana is achieved, any damage spell can be copied indefinitely using Reiterate  with buyback.
• Dualcaster Mage + Twinflame for infinite hasty 2/1s

Where I need help

The deck just seems quite inconsistent. Often at early game I'm unsure whether to pump Ashling or set up pieces. Also looking for more ways to draw cards in mono red going with the spellslinger theme. Suggestions welcome!
