iMtG Server: Gathering

Mono Red Beats/burn 60 cards, 9 sideboard 4 {Bloodstained Mire} 1 {Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx} 15 {Mountain} 20 lands 4 {Goblin Rabblemaster} 4 {Firedrinker Satyr} 4 {Monastery Swiftspear} 3 {Frenzied Goblin} 3 {Lightning Berserker} 18 creatures 4 {Stoke the Flames} 3 {Hordeling Outburst} 2 {Break Through the Line} 3 {Ordeal of Purphoros} 3 {Lightning Strike} 3 {Wild Slash} 4 {Dragon Mantle} 22 other spells Sideboard 4 {Magma Jet} 3 {Dragon Fodder} 1 {Lightning Strike} 1 {Wild Slash} 9 sideboard cards

Need some help with the deck and sideboard. Until lightning berserker is release:
Lightning Berserker {R}
{R}: +1/+0 till EoT
Dash: {R}
1/1

why do you need Bloodstained Mires here?

Deck thinning. I'm also considering swapping them for  {Wooded Foothills} And splash the {R}{G} command From the side

Deck thinning really isn't a thing.  By the time you realize any card advantage from the 4 fetches, the game will be over one way or the other.

Maybe useful if you Magma Jet, leave a card on top, then decide it's a bad card for you...

If I keep a three land hand I have 17 lands in my deck. If I crack a fetch turn one I have a little over 26% chance to draw a land. If I don't crack a fetch its a little over 28%. Yeah I maybe over thinking it a bit but if I crack two fetches in a game that's two less lands I don't draw that turns into gas to kill someone faster. I know i wish I could run some delve spells or that lava mancer was standard but I'll settle for better odds not drawing a land sometimes

I support this. Also, {Break Through the Line} targeting {Goblin Rabblemaster} before he swings? Ew.

That's what I was thinking but I want one more of them in there but also drawing two sucks...

It's actually 26% without a fetch and 25% with. Take a damage for a 1% less chance?
Like the linked article says, the damage isn't worth it.
