The basic idea behind this deck is to shut down ur opponent's land and then beat them to death with creatures and instant damage. 19 land may seem kinda low to some people but with sol rings, ruby medallions, and the relative inexpense of the cards in this deck in general i assure you that it is quite fast. rishadan ports, strip mines, and all the land destruction rigidly controls the land on the board and it is rare that a powerful creature or spell resolves. besides the fact that i love lightning bolt  and wouldn't build a red deck without it, they deal damage to keep the life total down and kill creatures if necessary. sol rings (the most broken mana producing artifacts in history) and ruby medallions make this deck go insanely fast, there isn't much more to say about these two cards. cursed scroll is excellent for smoking weenie creatures, lowereing life quickly, and draining counters off pesky phantom creatures. seals of fire are used for a similar purpose.  skizzik is simply used as a beating stick against opponents, its fast, it  tramples, and is a 5/3, no more said.  lava runner is good becuase when damage or any ability targets it they lose even more land.  enuff has been said about flametongue kavu that everyone knows it is good, period. mogg fanatics i have found to be very useful at taking out elves, sorcerers, and just annoying ur opponent in general. feldon's cane is good at recharging ur deck with all that lovely land destruction. when u are running out of steam and the opponent has too many lands and seems to be getting control you'll be glad to see it . if you have any suggestions for improving this deck feel free to email me.
