I just made a quick mono-red stax list that may be worse than good ol' dragon stompy or painter, but here it is:
3 Ancient Tomb
2 City of Traitors
4 Ghost Quarter
4 Rishadan Port
4 Wasteland
2 Great Furnace
8 Mountain
4 Quicksmith Rebel
4 Chandra, Torch of Defiance
4 Ghirapur Aether Grid
4 Chalice of the Void
2 Crucible of Worlds
4 Ensnaring Bridge
4 Mox Diamond
3 Trinisphere
4 Winter Orb
The payoff cards are Quicksmith Rebel (symmetry breaker), Grid (symmetry breaker), and Chandra (which both draws you cards and ramps you into your spells under orb effects).
I've changed the list from the original post by going -2 Tangle Wire for +2 Ensnaring Bridge. The sideboard is looking for cards like Tabernacle, Phyrexian Revoker, Kozilek's Return, Sudden Demise, Tormod's Crypt, Blood Moon, Tangle Wire (vs Eldrazi in particular since so much of the deck is dead against them), Sphere of Resistance, Lodestone Golem, Boil, and/or From the Ashes.Someone had also mentioned a blue splash for Trophy Mage, to get some of the lock pieces, like Crucible of Worlds and Ensnaring Bridge, in which case Static Orb seems like a great inclusion as a 1-of. Metalwork Colossus might also be workable in this shell, too, as a finisher, but that seems pretty far-fetched.
