Thanks ExNagol for taking the time to check over my deck and provide a solid comment! I've made some revisions and playtested a bit; i like where its coming to. I'll expound on how the mechanics of the deck work when I get a chance. Have you play-tested it? Any other recommendations?

+1 for the originality
- Shock / + Galvanic Blast - No downside, and if you happen to have metalcraft it's a big plus
Other than that, the card that seems like it would help you the most in this is Reverberate . You have a ton of good targets, and often it will be just game ending.
Here's my own take on it: Budget RDW

I like the idea of Reverberate and have played around with the idea in the past but it just didn't give enough punch when I needed it to. I still have the ability to copy via Chandra, the Firebrand 's -2 ability to pack an extra punch on Brimstone Volley or Volt Charge (which is really fun!). On Galvanic Blast , I had it as a 3 of with Shock with 2x Incinerate in an older build but traded them out for Infernal Plunge and Brimstone Volley respectively. Thanks for the suggestions!

I'd take out the Shock and put in Galvanic Blast . It's better than shock. If you don't have metalcraft, it does the same thing. If you do you have metalcraft, it's better than bolt.

I have had metalcraft only a few times in my playtests, but you both bring up a good point. It has a huge possible upside rather than no upside at all. I swapped out Shock for Galvanic Blast .

This is the speed I like to see in RDW. Drops are well paced and it's hard to see a bad opening hand. Thanks for all the thought and effort you put into my deck. +1. This is the kind of community I was looking for in Tappedout. P.S. This almost looks like it could go goblin tribal if it wasn't for Stromkirk Noble . Goblin Grenade is your friend with Brimstone Volley and Chandra, the Firebrand

Thanks hygroscopicguy for the encouraging words and comments! I have found that Tappedout users are mostly friendly and extremely helpful in their criticisms and input. I have seen many decks with the Goblin Grenade into Brimstone Volley combo with Reverberate or Chandra, the Firebrand . Its pretty explosive but often times inconsistent. My attempt with this deck is to have it run as efficiently and consistently as possible. A turn 7 win is usually an accurate measure with turn 3 possibilities. Thanks again for your comment and good luck to you =)

With the new undying mechanic around, I have decided to swap out Devil's Play for Red Sun's Zenith once again. Comments?

I would almost replace Galvanic Blast with either more Shock or Incinerate and that's only because you have 6x artifacts. The Immolating Souleater worries me because of that 1 toughness that it's gonna get plinked possibly and you lose metalcraft.
I do like Volt Charge though cause it helps the planeswalkers out.
The other thing is land, you're spell heavy so you might end up getting mana screwed sitting at 20, but Infernal Plunge might fix that in a pinch. Plus the most you need is 4, so I dunno really, red decks are tough to build in standard lately if you aren't going vamps. You might look into Traitorous Blood as a more recent Act of Treason plus it gives trample. Not sure if this comment was helpful or not, just thinking of things that stood out as i looked over it.
