So, Monastery Swiftspear is awesome and a bunch of people are exploring numerous ways to exploit her, but what about running her in an aggressive RW shell?
4x Monastery Swiftspear
4x Steppe Lynx
4x Seeker of the Way
4x Young Pyromancer
4x Orim's Chant
4x Mutagenic Growth
4x Lava Dart
4x Lightning Bolt
4x Path to Exile
3x Skullcrack
2x Rites of Initiation
4x Plateau
4x Arid Mesa
3x Scalding Tarn
3x Marsh Flats
3x Mountain
2x Plains
The only card I'm not too sure about is Rits of Initiation. I've only seen it a couple of times, and the potential is there, but I'm not sure that the random discard is worth it. Skullcrack is there mostly to mess with True-Name Nemesis blocks, but it may be better off as a sideboard card. Orim's Chant has been outstanding here as it works well with 3 of the 4 creatures, sets up big turns, hurts storm combo, and stops a miracled Terminus. I think that there's definitely something here, but let me know what you think. Comments and criticism are always welcome.
I could see a fit for Blind Obedience here, it give you that extra turn against chump blockers and gives you a little more reach for your burn. Also triggers Prowess.
Purify the Grave is good against Deathrite & Goyf and triggers you twice. Maybe a board card.
