Well, nice deck you've here!, IMHO Barbarian Ring can perform a good job for you, also, as mentioned before, i know it's a burn deck, but you can add Titan's Strength and/or Brute Force and of course the good'ol Fireblast, you can't miss if you run it! +1

Love Kiln Fiend. How about Nivmagus Elemental sideboard against control? I like him in these style of decks.

This is an amazing burn deck! I would suggest a (Pyromancers Goggles) to help deal extra damage.

For starters: thanks to all of you who have commented and upvoted the deck. It is much appreciated!!!
Sometimes late but I deliver!:
- DERPLINGSUPREME: Wooohooooo yes! Kiln Fiend
- Cole6000: Yes, I'm tempted to add Pyromancer's Goggles, maybe soon in the future. Thanks for the suggestion !
- Nixin72: Nivmagus Elemental has blue on it, and I'm a purist hahahah
- kriggi: Guttersnipe doesn't really go with the theme of the deck, but you can add it in a build of your own or a mod of this one :) Thanks for the support.
- GeraldM: hell yeah this is nice! Thanks for posting.
- Sandman1278: Now the price went up but yeah, it's still legacy under 100 bucks or so.
- Shoug: Well... Burst Lightning has instant speed and can grow into a 4 damage spell for a late game kicked-spell. :D!
- Pedosaurus: thanks for the love man, I'm happy you liked the deck!
- Castform: Soul's Fire was the spell I was looking for! Thanks for stopping by man :)
- Babuchas3000: I'm tempted to add Barbarian Ring, but sometimes that 1 or 2 life points can make the difference. Thanks for the suggestion though! <3
- TheFanatic: Gut Shot is a nice surprise but 1 card for just one damage is not worth it... I put Shard Volley. Also 4x Assault Strobe proved to be 1x too many through extensive playtesting (since design). Thanks for the love and advice!
- Mikeroni & Vyxil: Nor Titan's Strength nor Rouse the Mob made it to the last build... I'm using just an extra 3x Shard Volley and 1x Thunderous Wrath. Also Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle is useful but I'm gonna test it again with this build.
- withoutdoubtlongestusernamever & cbr600rr: Breath of Darigaaz pls. Such burn. Much damage. Wow. Thanks for stopping by, both of ya!
- Colgate: Chandra is useful here as a finisher and long term survival. And yes, this can be legacy-competitive except against a full control deck.
Be sure to check the other decks in the cycle. One deck for each color! Spread the love.

Breath of Darigaaz makes it mandatorily Legacy. You could change that for Earthquake if needed.
Also this performs well against anything, be it Legacy, Vintage or Modern. It's pretty dangerous.
Thanks for the vote too!

Thanks Sweepea38!
RDW decks rule, and they are cheap too.
I will check your red decks, so I'll leave you a comment or something if I find anything interesting!

This is such a cool idea and I dig the cycle. Huzzah, +1!

Thanks for the love man! And this deck works like a charm.
Check the others if you are in the mood. the deck's design was finished a couple of weeks ago and promises some weird outcomes... kinda fun
See you around!

Try Avaricious Dragon you appear to be low on cards by turn 4 and maybe the extra red draw could help not to mention it is a cmc4 4/4 with flying and anything you draw is playable by turn 4 any who so it just grants extra card draw

Thanks skull_kid, I'll consider that dragon... I had never seen him.
I'd be more inclined to Dangerous Wager and those kind of cards, but I'm still not sure. Card draw is always a tricky aspect to consider, and even worse: to solve.
Thanks again for the vote and suggestion!

another card to look at is Searing Blood allowing you to kill and burn simultaneously more often also try Temur Battle Rage granting double strike AND trample for only 1 colorless more the one mana may hold a difference in this deck for you 3 turn kill but in a longer game you would likely enjoy it allowing you to kill stronger creatures and get trample damage battle rage is probably a card to sideboard for decks that play larger creatures

Grim Lavamancer? Chain Lightning instead of Burst Lightning? Pyromancer Ascension Maybe instead of Breath of Darigaaz? Just a few thought like what your doing +1 just because I love Klin fiend

titanreaver: hey man! Well, Grim Lavamancer doesn't pair too well here because: 1: it doesn't buff Kiln Fiend (main win con) and 2 it depends on what's on the graveyard and has to be tapped... so it's not very good in relatively slow matches.
Chain Lightning's problem is PRICE and SPEED... Burst Lightning is instant and acts as a mana sink in the late game, when I can have lots of lands, and possibly allowing me to Reverberate a kicked Burst Lightning for 8 damage. Also the second ability of chandra would allow me to pull off the same combo with just one spell.
Breath of Darigaaz is on the balance right now against Earthquake for the sake of the format. Breath makes this deck mandatorily Legacy, whereas Earthquake would make it Modern.
mzl: Thanks! I sacrificed one!
Godhead_Initiated: Thanks dude! You should see how many hours took me to choose some of them hahahah. Cheers!

Legacy under $20? I didn't know such a thing was possible!
