I've quit legacy a while back and just now picking up, red was always a different option and starting with a R mono burn deck.
any tips?
Keldon Marauders and Goblin Guide are the all-stars, just add 20 Mountains and 32 Lightning Bolt s after that.

When playing mono red in legacy you have two ways to go, the cheap and the expensive route. The expensive route requires that you play fetchlands and Grim Lavamancer to continue to burn your opponent. The cheaper version relies on the smaller creatures that can attack while also utilizing a suite of instant speed burn spells.

so it sounds like creature burn is more cheap then the instant burn

I'm not in the mood for a complete review, but here you have a display of a very balanced combination of red burn spells and strategic nuking. *Azithromycin Cheers!

Cards like Goblin Guide may as well be instant burn if you get them out turn one, and are always valuable. Otherwise, instant-speed cards are generally more versatile, as they can also disrupt your opponent's strategy if you need them to.
If your plan is pretty much mono-red burn, go with mostly instant-speed spells and only include creatures if you can virtually guarantee damage with them.
