Just your standard big red affair.

ember swallowers are solid in providing a big wall to aggro and then huge threat if left alone.

Flames of the Firebrand I like these main board as they can bring back Chandra and take out an x/2 in one go. They're also one of the few sources of card advantage.

Hammer of Purphoros playing big red with 25 land mean that these are essential I think.

mutavaults would potentially find a place here however I'm running 4 zealots and 3 reckoners which could make things a little more inconsistent. Also I'd rather buy other things at the moment.

Act of Treason a lot of concerns with big red at the moment are centred around big creatures like desecration demon and blood baron. The acts are my attempt at an additional solution to them. Others include blocking with Phoenix/zealot and burning, using storm breath to stop the white creatures and prevent their damage and therefore lifelink or just trading a pumped weird, emberswallower or reckoner.
