Red Core Set Combo Help

Deck Help forum

Some buddies of mine want to do a star match (never done one) and I'm with red, and we've restricted the matches to being from 2010, 2011, and 2012 core sets to prevent some godmode vintage combos we usually run into with our casual play.

So far, my deck looks like this Zed is Red, baby and it really needs help!

My two opponents are going to be blue and white, and I'm pretty used to playing goblin sac/burn decks, so I mostly stuck with what I know.

The majority of my technique with this deck just revolves around a simple burn ping with the Goblin Fireslinger to pump up all of my creatures with +toughness and swing, with Reverberate in there to counter or to double up on the big damage with Goblin Grenade. The only other "combo" would just be to steal creatures with Act of Treason then Fling them when I'm done. That and/or flinging Ball Lightning once it's done

I'm not familiar with what blue or white would be throwing back at me as I'm a relatively new player, and any weakpoints people who plays these colors could point out to me would be much appreciated before our first game Friday. The main weakness I seem to have is that I just can't get mana fast enough; something I've always had a problem with since I usually run weenie decks.
