Although Blue may have more potent devotion creatures, Red's had a bigger impact on the board. The spells I decided to run had to have a large effect, or protect the Experiment. Luckily, the boardsweep we are worried about here is an instant, so Dispel should suffice as the counterspell backup, as it hits the Fated and anything they throw at the Experiment. Young Pyromancer keeps you alive early, Burning-Tree is the devotion enabler, and both Guttersnipe and Nivix are your win cons. Dangerous and Teleportal make sure you are getting in, and Armed makes sure it's lethal.

Post sideboard, you can move away from the Epic Experiment plan, removing the Epics, Armed, Nivix, and Teleportals to put in whichever package most disrupts the opponent at hand. On more creature based matches, cut out the Dispels and Lightning Strikes for the Guttersnipe, Young Pyromancer, Mortars and Rifts to better control the boardstate and make the Experiment more potent.
