I've started building a red aggro deck for a local modern tournament that coming up. I'm wondering if I should splash some green into the deck. So far I have 4 {Ball Lightning} 4 {Ash Zealot} 4 {Lightning Bolt} 4 {Lightning Strike} 3 {Vexing Devil} 1 {Reverberate} 4 {Pyretic Ritual} maybe some For the green I was thinking about some {Giant Growth} perhaps {Burning-Tree Emissary} 4 {Strangleroot Geist} maybe {Domri Rade} ?? 4 {Birds of Paradise} {Ghor-Clan Rampager} just for the blood rush ability?? I'd appreciate any advice, thanks for helping me brainstorm. no not that {Brainstorm}
{Assault Strobe} can be fun but might not be a good card for modern since it is only a sorcery
That would be a great combo with the {Ball Lightning} ! Let me pull out my scars cards thanks!
{Goblin Guide}, {Figure of Destiny}, {Hellspark Elemental}, {Rift Bolt}

{Goblin Guide}, {Figure of Destiny}, {Hellspark Elemental}, {Rift Bolt} those are fantastic suggestions, I really like
{Goblin Guide}
Switch out {Lightning Strike} for {Searing Spear}, {Searing Spear} is SO much better.

No, its like how {Storm Crow} is better than meets the eye, so is {Searing Spear}...
That and {Searing Spear} has epic FNM promos
Any opinions on the green? Should I just go red all the way?
I would actually recommend splashing white and/or black to open up to better main board and SB options. Eg {bump in the night} {boros charm} and {lighting helix}
Also what's the meta like?

Red, all the way across the deck!
Stay red.

I'm leaning towards red all the way. Also maybe I'll put in 2 {Pulse of the Forge}

THIS is the way to go if you want to play modern burn. Gruul zoo is also a thing, but a very different deck.
I've seen a lot of people play Mainly red splash white and it does excellent, soooo good with {lightning helix}, {Boros Reckoner}.
Only thing that sucks is when the other person sideboards in a {Leyline of Sanctity} against you....
And {goblin guide} is boss!
Plus I've seen them play {teetering peeks}
