Single Scoop: Mono Red Phoenix (Historic, Magic Arena)

Gameplan

The deck is all about firing off a ton of cheap spells much like the Izzet version of Arclight Phoenix #91 but we get to be a bit more explosive thanks to our prowess threats and Kiln Fiend #137

$ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00 $ 0.00

These two creatures combined with spells like Crash Through #620 means we're going to try to close out games before turn five. With all the spells we're casting, we're hoping to have these threats backed up by a bunch of flying phoenix as we have numerous ways to discard in Faithless Looting #213, Lava Axe #197, Thrill of Possibility #146, and more. Of course, we sacrifice the consistency of the Izzet version for a huge glass cannon so this deck folds to a deck packed to the brim with removal. 

Conclusion

This version isn't as powerful as its modern counterpart as we don't have any spells like Lava Dart #134 or Manamorphose #208 but we sure as heck tried and we actually ended up winning a decent amount of games. For a deck like this to work in Historic, we're going to need a lot more cheap and free spells. For now, this is just a greedy pet deck that is hoping to catch an opponent being relaxed about removal.
