Flame on! is a mono-Red Ritual deck that abuses the interactions between Past in Flames, Pyromancer's Swath and Grapeshot. The deck casts Ritual-effects, such as Rite of Flame and Pyretic Ritual to generate mana, then casts either:
a) Pyromancer's Swath and Grapeshot; or
b) Double Grapeshot.
Also included, as an alternative win, is Goblin Charbelcher
Here's a sample decklist (NOT OPTIMISED):
Land: 16
8 Mountain
4 Scalding Tarn
4 Bloodstained Mire
Draw: 8
4 Burning Inquiry
4 Goblin Lore
Fast Mana: 18
4 Rite of Flame
3 Pyretic Ritual
3 Desperate Ritual
4 Lion's Eye Diamond
4 Manamorphose
Combo: 14
4 Past in Flames
4 Pyromancer's Swath
4 Grapeshot
2 Goblin Charbelcher
Protection: 4
4 Pyroblast
Sideboard: 15 (rough guess, mostly meta based)
4 Tormod's Crypt
4 Red Elemental Blast
4 Ravenous Trap
3 Meta slot, most likely Blasphemous Act
I'm not sure how potent it is yet, but I suspect that it will have a goldfish of around Turn 3.
Alternative potential inclusions:
Gamble: Probably has a place here somewhere, but I'm not quite sure what to cut for it.
Burning Wish: Definitely potential for a Red Wishboard, but I'm not sure how likely it is that you'll fill it up, or what with.
Staggershock/Rift Bolt: for a more Burn-oriented list, you'd probably remove some of the actual Rituals for these.
Chrome Mox: possibly for more explosive Storming, probably in the LED slot.
Noxious Revival: for getting back Swaths discarded to the draw spells.
Thought and critiques are, as always, appreciated. However, I would prefer that this list stay mono-Red, if possible.
