Answer 1

i agree you can cu the black out and u can add things like spikeshot goblin, more incinerate, rift bolt, barrel down sokenzan, i play 4 in my burn deck they are cool and combo with seismic assault, and pyroclasm against smaller creatures with my glitterfang and viashino sandscout w some ashling the pilgrim, also taurean mauler its an awesome red creature, pyromancer's swat is a good enchantment w some seal of fire, there is litteraly hundreds of direct damage cards in red, i personally lyke the lava axe cause thats 1/4 of a person's life, it may be heavy but is sure worth it when its needed, add some simian spirit guide for the all out "i dont give a hoot about your damned card advantage" feeling that u can get from the red, thats why i love this color, and keep all the artifact destruction on the side board, 1/2 akroma?  

4 or 2 lava axe

4 volcanic hammer

2 shock  

1 beacon of destruction

1 incinerate

1 fireball

1 flame javelin

2 shard volley

4 barbed lightning

3 magma jet

1 lava spike

3 brute force

2 mudbrawler cohort

2 shivan wumpus

1 reckless worm

1 heart cage giant

1 aetherflame wall

1 spark elemental

this is a good start but u need some more cheap creatures,

hope this helps have fun thats what red does.

Answer 2

I knew instantly when you said "damage deck" to cut out black. Burn is pretty much exclusive to Red. I don't think your black cards help enough. You seem to be using some tough red cards and burn cards. One thing I notice is that if you run all red, you'll have trouble fighting White decks. I suggest adding Green rather than Black and run Red for mostly the cheap burn and green for tough creatures. Red isn't much of a "tough creature" deck. Now that I have that thought, maybe instead you should try turbo land. It runs tons of ruids to produce mana, cards to get lands, and Disintegrates and/or Demonfires to quickly burn the opponent. Tranquility can destroy Circle of Protection: White. As for your deck, I would just say take out the black cards and put in more red burn. Also take out Slice and Dice and some of the more expensive red burn cards.

Might want to look into replacing Lava Axe with Tarfire as its a better mana/damage ratio...

Its Shock but with tribal: Goblin...  Its from the Lorwyn Block
