iMtG Server: Gathering

RDW 60 cards, 0 sideboard 20 {Mountain} 20 lands 4 {Goblin Fireslinger} 4 {Stromkirk Noble} 4 {Chandra's Phoenix} 4 {Grim Lavamancer} 2 {Stormblood Berserker} 18 creatures 4 {Brimstone Volley} 4 {Shrine of Burning Rage} 4 {Gut Shot} 4 {Arc Trail} 2 {Slagstorm} 4 {Shock} 22 other spells Sideboard Notes: Let me know what u all think. My first attempt at red deck wins in standard. I need sideboard help and general advice on the deck. I am considering running goblin chiefden instead of nobles and some other goblins as well so that they have haste and then add goblin grenade

Swap the numbers on Lavamancer and berserker.
Sideboard could have {manic Vandel}, {Voshok Refugee} ,{nihil Spellbomb}, {surgical extraction} just to name a few possible cards.

I say it alot but {volt charge} over shock any day I hate shocks :p

I have been considering volt charge a lot but it just costs so much more

I think I've said this elsewhere, but why not {Galvanic Blast} instead of {Shock}?  It is strictly better, even if you don't get metalcraft it's exactly identical.

I mean this is true but but there is almost no chance of getting 3 artifacts in the deck so why even worry about it. I mean there isnt really a difference if metalcraft isbt happening right?

well you have the possibility why not have it just incase you do? And as for the volts they do so much in this deck, shrine it gives it two counters and pumps up your stromkirks and storm bloods and deals 3 dam!

True, but with zero loss and potential gain, I'd certainly make the switch.  Heck, maybe add both.

Also, I like your idea of more moggs and {Goblin Grenade}.  It'll be easier to force morbid on your {Brimstone Volleys}.  {Reverberate} or {Increasing Vengeance} might not be to bad either, if you are using those.
T1: {Goblin Arsonist}
T2: {Shrine of Burning Rage}
T3: {Goblin Grenade}+{Reverberate} = 11 damage (w/ arsonist)
or T5: {Goblin Grenade} + {Brimstone Volley} = 11 damage.
