I would drop one reforge for another dragon. Why no bonfire goodness? Other than that, this deck has the official Jynx burn seal of approval.

dont own any bonfire (pouty face). But I would love to have some.

I would consider {Hellrider}
It can be a pain with all haste creatures.

Mauler over freak any day. The freak sucks. And what other burn would you suggest I use smart ass, my {Lighting Bolt}s aren't standard legal.
You want me to put {Explosive Impact} in here don't you.
See before you post think about your comment first. In standard there isn't much good burn ATM. So you have to try the few good burn spells and see what's rite for you. What you think is situational mite be a must in the meta were I'm at. Oh, and the mortors are the only situational burn in here. The rest specify "creature or  player", so they will never be sitting in my hand.

I like the idea of running four of each of the {pillar of flame} and {brimstone volley}

They are def the most effective burns, also, I'd consider running a cpl {guttersnipe}s

My roommate has a "red wins" an it's clutch for sure, other than that this is solid! Ash zealot is so perfect

Oh! And if you run gutter' think about {reverberate} too, it gets pretty silly

 Sorry, I should rephrase that.... What makes {lightning mauler} better in this deck than {rakdos shred-freak}?

Because for two you could potentially have two haste creatures, one drop vexing devil + mauler is sick if they don't take damage, can also be saved for big creatures late game. Say like desecration demon once played swing and potentially go for 8 or make them sac a creature. Mauler isnt seen as threat unless played properly.

Either way nice idea on burn deck, hope in future it does good and gatecrash gives you better/more burn!

Karrthus for a guy who I don't normally see posting in standard I must say I approve of this deck.

Thanks guys, after GateCrash releases ill update and let you see how it turns out.

I second this, {Hellrider} is insanely fast, he also kills Planeswalkers with ease. I like this deck a lot dude.

I've got 3 {Hellrider}s, so the first obvious choice would be to take out the dragon. What other 2 cards for 2 more riders?

How well does {Reforge the Soul} play? Giving an opponent that many cards doesn't seem too great, I may be missing something entirely though.

The only object of {Reforge the Soul} was fill my hand back up because RDW empties your hand fairly quick.

It's an insta mulligan if it's in your opening hand, but for burn it's a fantastic card as a 1-2 of. Running mono red typically empties the hand faster than most other deck types. And a seven card reload is normally enough to win that round or the next.

And with the {Lightning Mauler}, he ensures that you win that turn. Damn. That makes sense, idk what to take out for {Hellrider} then.

I think I'm going to drop the dragon, 1 reforge, and 1 stromkirk. Make it 3 hellriders.
Also going to drop {Flames of the Firebrand} to add play sets of {Pillar of Flames} and {Brimstone Volley}.
