Deck Description

My first deck I decided to make public. I guess it is sort of a cop out making a budget red rush deck though... I'm not great at this sort of stuff so feedback and suggestions are much appreciated.

How to Play

The most important thing to remember is that this is a casual deck that is meant to be cheap and fun to play as and against.
Just get there as fast as possible. If you're past turn six or seven, you've lost simply due to the fact there is no build up past turn three or four (except for maybe shrine). The Maakas are mostly there just to be red giant growths that have extra value in that they're creatures as well.
An ideal hand would probably consist of a Memnite+Signal Pest (Turn 1) then a Spark Elemental that has a Maaka Bloodrushed/Brute Force on it (Turn 2). From that point if you can get any more damage in like a big swing or just plain burn it's game.

[NOTE]
The sideboard is more of a list of things to add in if you were willing to spend a bit more time and money on a deck like this.

Deck discussion for Budget: Red Rush

I would replace Faithless Looting with Magma Jet, and add Madcap skills, and Elixir of Immortality to stay alive a little longer and recycle burn spells and some of your creatures. Rakdos Cackler is also a good 1 drop to add. Incinerate might be a better burn spell to add if you can't play 4 Lightning Bolts,and Fling is also available as an option if you are pumping creatures - Brute Force.. Try building the deck 2 ways - 1 Fast creatures with the burn being used to take out the blockers, and 2 playing spells and abilities that prevent your opponents creatures from blocking your fast creatures.
