After seeing 2 million Mono Red Burn style goblin decks, I decided to rebel and make one with Elementals. Turns out, they can dish out just as much hasty damage and have the perk of being much harder to stop.
The only creature you play that won't die is the one that kills. While that means you will likely never block, you'll likely never have to. Turn 1 Spark - life now 17. Turn 2 Hellspark - 14. Turn 3 Incandescent - laugh maniacally. Turn 4 Nova Chaser for 2 from Incandescent and Assault Strobe for 11 double strike haste trample - dead. Really those first few turns can be anything; Spark elementals, bolts, passes, whatever. This is the preferred win con, but at the end of the day, it's just heavy beat down. Strobe or Fling anything with power 6 or more. Collateral Damage whatever they try to kill. Cast Browbeat when your hand runs low, they almost always take the 5 damage which is every bit as bad as the 3 cards.The confidence this deck has is incredible. People see these creatures that all die at the end step anyway and have trample and they have a hard time justifying blocking them. Nothing sticks around so only instant speed removal works. If you're in a post side board game and you've played defense grid... they won't be instant speed removing anythin... not until it's too late. The only big threats I've found so far due to the incredible speed of the deck are other burn decks and first strike, first strike more so. That's why the side board leans so heavy in that direction. Cinder Wall to actually have a blocker. Dragon's Claw to be sure that you don't lose to something as simple as not going first against Burn. And again, defense Grid to be sure they can't burn your Creatures. Act of treason helps when you play big decks like Eldrazi that take a beating until they get that big blocker down, well it's mine now, and board wipes are extra effective in this deck because you don't really have to worry about losing your own Creatures. Nothing surprises people more then a 3 Mana win from 1 swing with 1 creature. I hope you enjoy Straight Through the Heart. Please comment below, I'm always open to suggestions.

Thanks, for as cheap of a deck as it is, it's a whole lot of fun to play.
I betI made a red Elemental deck of my own, check it outIt’s called “I Was Never Here...”
I like it, I'd definitely play that cat if it were a Modern legal card.
YeahIt’s really good, 7/1 for 4 with haste because of some other card effects
