NOW THAT'S A LOT OF DAMAGE

The general idea is to generate massive value early on with Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh (and also build your commander damage). Keep in mind that this deck is catered towards 1v1 situations.

Of course, as with any partner deck that plans to be competitive in the slightest and also has Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh and Jeska, Thrice Reborn, there is the infinite mana combo with Dockside Extortionist and Cloudstone Curio. Add complementary mana sinks with Leyline Tyrant, Obsidian Fireheart, and our ever-frightening Jaya's Immolating Inferno.

Now, let's do some explanation of the first and most obvious strategy here: swing fast, swing hard. That early value I was talking about earlier primarily manifests itself in our low-cost equipment for early swinging, but also in our ability to generate large amounts of mana early with the usual commander-staple Sol Ring, alongside Springleaf Drum, Infernal Plunge, and Jeska's Will.

Now, let's talk about the worst case scenario for a mono-red deck: the late game. It's bound to happen; some decks will just stall us too hard. All is well, we have ways around it with our small, sometimes large and abrupt pings showcased in with the inclusion of Rampaging Ferocidon, Heartless Hidetsugu, Obsidian Fireheart, Valakut Exploration and Leyline Tyrant. And, of course, we need to interact with the board occasionally, so insert obligatory Nevinyrral's Disk and our beloved Blasphemous Act.

Overall, this is meant to be a decently competitive deck that won't break the bank but also won't make your friends hate you when you pull it out. I intend on continuously updating this deck and likely building it in real life relatively soon after I do some more research and get some advice, so feel free to leave a comment. Thanks for taking your time to look at my weird brew!
