Maybeboard


Mono Red commander deck. Straightforward right? Suggestions always welcome!

My maybeboard are either cards I want to add but don't know what to cut, or cards I swap in and out depending on the situation/opposition.

How the deck works:

Torbran is a great commander, adding damage to any red source. Letting pingers like Cinder Pyromancer, Syr Carah, the Bold, Guttersnipe, and the Chandra's deal more damage. Using Torbran, Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh can transform into Chandra, Roaring Flame in one turn. Pyromancer's Gauntlet has a similar effect as Torbran so these can stack the damage pretty quickly.

Obviously burning is the focus here. I have a lot of mana production. Sol Ring, Mana Vault, Mana Crypt, Palladium Myr, Caged Sun, Gilded Lots, Seething Song, Vessel of Volatility, the tron lands, and walkers like Chandra, Bold Pyromancer and Jaya Ballard all provide massive mana fuel for spells like Burn From Within, Banefire, Jaya's Immolating Inferno, Electrodominance, and Mamaquake. The fuel lets these spells be potentially game ending one-shots, especially if Fire Servant and/or Satyr Firedancer are on the battlefield.

Dual Casting, Pyromancer's Goggles, Reverberate, Repeated Reverberation, and Primal Wellspring are also very useful, giving me new copies of any instant or sorcery. This helps smaller spells like Lightning Bolt, Magma Spray, Magma Jet, be more useful in multiplayer formats.

Chandra's Regulator is mint for this deck, especially when I use it to copy giving myself Ult Chandra Emblems or doubling the Chandra Awakened Inferno emblems to my opposition. I can also use it for card draw, especially when I can discard the Squee Goblins, then get them back easily.

The Chandra's and Jaya can all burn individually. Some make mana, some help with card draw. Jaya's ult is especially helpful late game, letting me recast the burns from my graveyard.

Evolving Wilds, Terramorphic Expanse, and Myriad Landscape, Burnished Hart, and Solemn Simulacrum help me get more mana faster.

The Leylines prevent lifegain and deal damage when my stuff is targeted. Akroma's Memorial, which might look out of place here, prevents my creatures from being hit by Magmaquake or Blasphemous Act.

Token production is not massive here, as I wanted more burn, but Young Pyromancer gives me bodies as I sling spells. Dragonmaster Outcast gives me attackers. Drakuseth, Maw of Flames both attacks and deals heavy damage. I almost made him the commander in all honesty.

Hoard Smelter Dragon and Treasure Nabber keep my opposition from being reckless with artifacts.
