[deck] Suicide Red

[Strawberry Dwarf]

I have never played Vintage, but I decided to build a deck, just in case I would get an opportunity.

Idea: Temur Battle Rage and Immolating Souleater are cheap commons, but with Vintage potential: the first is red Berserk and the second is artifact creature with built-in Hatred. With Simian Spirit Guide they create 2nd turn kill.

20 Mountain
1 Ghitu Encampment
4 Simian Spirit Guide

4 Inner-Flame Acolyte
4 Immolating Souleater
4 Temur Battle Rage
2 Assault Strobe

4 Bloodfire Dwarf
3 Dwarven Berserker
1 Dwarven Warriors
4 Dwarven Bloodboiler

4 Lightning Bolt
2 Crackling Club
2 Skullclamp
1 Shivan Harvest

SB:
1 Gorilla Shaman
3 Duergar Hedge-Mage
3 Thran Foundry
1 Onslaught
1 Spawning Pit
4 Red Elemental Blast
2 Flaring Pain

This deck can (on paper) kill T1 (land, exile 3 SSG, Souleater, evoke IFA, Assault Strobe, attack, pay 14 life, win) and although it in reality never happens, T2-T3 kills are quite common. For mid-game there is dwarven shell with Bloodboilers to kill without Souleater.

I tested it in Forge vs AI playing preconstructed Vintage archetypes. Well, I must say, it is different experience than Legacy or Modern: kill ASAP or die. Ridiculous things happen quickly: Oath, SnT, NO, Craterhoof, Progenitus, Griselbrand, Belcher, Emrakul, and although (at least against AI) I win more, games are mostly uninteractive. Nevertheless, Vintage has a thrill.

Edit:
-4 Spark Mage, +4 Bloodfire Dwarf, -1 Fling, +1 Goblin Bombardment

Edit 2:
-4 Dwarven Blastminer, +4 Dwarven Berserker, -1 Goblin Bombardment, +1 Shivan Harvest
Still messing around and trying. Blastminers - nice ability, but slow and useless in combat. Berserkers can attack in more situations.

Edit 3:
Created provisional SB. Still considering playing without SB, sideboarding dilutes own strategy.

Edit 4: -1 Dwarven Berserker, +1 IFA, changes in SB (Revokers aren't available for this deck at the moment). DB alone does next to nothing, 12 dwarves may be enough.

Edit 5: -2 Fling, +2 Crackling Club. Flings were too risky, Dwarven Berserkers need steroids and a little more board control.
