I'm trying to update Skred Red to play in the current meta.There are a few cards I'm not sure about.- [[Karn, the Great Creator]] - I'm just not sure if this would be right Karn to use. He doesn't really get me to a win. He can get utility artifacts from my sideboard. He can also replay [[Relic of Progenitus]] to good effect.- [[Boros Reckoner]] - I still like how this card interacts with cards like [[Skred]] but maybe there is a card that does this better?- [[Chandra, Acolyte of Flame]] - I like that Chandra speeds up the ultimates of [[Koth of the Hammer]] and [[Chandra, Torch of Defiance]]. I also like getting increased utility from [[Skred]] with her -2 abilities. But is this more like a "win more" card and not actually advance my plan?Thanks for checking it out! Any ideas are welcome

So, looking at this deck, I can kinda see why you're interested in using Skred as your big finisher. Issue I have in general is that it is a slow process in mono-red, as you have no ways of actually searching out lands and putting them onto the battlefield quickly enough to really ramp that Skred damage, besides an actual land.BUT without changing your entire deck to Red/Green and rebuilding it as a ramp deck, here's some notes on the cards you're not a fan of:Karn, the Great Creator - This card is not great for your deck, unless you're heavily relying on that -2 to fetch cards from your sideboard. But if you wanted to really abuse that passive, add in the card Mycosynth Lattice! It literally shuts down your opponent since EVERYTHING is now an artifact, and your opponent cannot use them. If I had to pick a card to replace from the SB, I'd have to go with Walking Ballista. Yeah, it's an absolutely devastating finisher, but that requires you to have already ramped heaps.Boros Reckoner - It's a decent deterrent tool, like Phyrexian Obliterator. I think it's fine in any sort of burn deck.Chandra, Acolyte of Flame - She's actually a good fit for your deck! If the goal besides Skred is red Superfriends, comboing with Sarkhan to give everyone more counters, I'd run more of her! I'd drop a Mind Stone and maybe a Relic of Progenitus to add another copy or two of her. It's always a good idea to have a backup plan, because if you use an early Skred, or it's countered, and someone has a card like Surgical Extraction, there goes your entire deck.Koth of the Hammer - I know that you didn't mention this one, but I think it needed mentioning. If you swamp Hammer for Fire of the Resistance, then it'll add more of that ramp to find more snow lands. Same mana cost, but fetches lands instead of transforming them, so they can't be killed off like a creature and fuel Skred faster too! Just worth considering. Ult/Emblem is a side-grade, but main ability is a boost.Hope that helps!
