Reasonably strong deck, although even with 4 orbs, I have trouble with blue
 ophidianish decks, especially with shadow creatures and/or Teferi's Veil.

(Four Color Red Derived From A Crappy Sligh Deck I Used To Have)

4 Mogg Fanatic
Very strong. Built in Goblin Bombardment.
3 Shadow Guildmage
A Tim of Brass, as I like to call it.
3 Fallen Askari
Very useful. Flanking kicks ass.
2 Barrow Ghoul
Good with Moggs. Undercosted.
3 Suq'Ata Lancer
Celerity good... mmm, celerity.
1 Ball Lightning
Too good to miss. Three cost it not that big a deal since all my lands can
 produce red in one way or another.
1 Nekrataal
Really should play more if any, but all I had.
4 Incinerate
Very basic.
4 Kindle
Really good, and it gets funny if your opponent is playing with these. I kindle
 you for 2. No, I kindle YOU for 3. No, I kindle YOU for 4. No, I kindle YOU
 for 5.
2 Gerrard's Wisdom
Incredible... good with Undiscovered Paradise and against early beatdown.
2 Disenchant
Well, duh. 4 seemed too many in a deck built for versatility.
3 Propaganda
Now hear this: PROPAGANDA IS BROKEN. Combos well with Worb, too.
2 Memory Lapse
Poorer replacement for Arcane Denial.
4 Winter Orb
Helps against slower decks. Doesn't hurt me all that much, especially with
 Undiscovered Paradises. Combos well with 2-3 Propagandas, as well.
1 Reflecting Pool
1 City of Brass
One becomes the other, but which to choose? Help me out on this.
3 Undiscovered Paradise
Almost obvious. Annoying of course, but simply the best at what it does.
4 Gemstone Mine
Really really really good. Kind of like a Black Lotus.
The rest is Mountains.

1. What do you think?
2. How can I make it better?
