Deck overview

This is a mono-red spellslinger/burn storm deck helmed by Urabrask // The Great Work. The core plan is to chain instants and sorceries, using Urabrask's front face to refund {R} and ping opponents on every cast, while a swarm of "whenever you cast an instant or sorcery" creatures - Guttersnipe, Kessig Flamebreather, Erebor Flamesmith, Electrostatic Field, Coruscation Mage, and others - convert each spell into table-wide damage. The deck wins either through a critical-mass storm turn with Grapeshot, Empty the Warrens, or Elemental Eruption, or through incremental burn amplified by Torbran, Thane of Red Fell and Ojer Axonil, Deepest Might. The back face, The Great Work, provides a one-shot recursion window to recast spells from graveyards. Copy effects in Chandra, Hope's Beacon, Leyline of Resonance, and Pyromancer's Goggles multiply the damage per spell. It is a glass-cannon deck that wants to resolve a critical mass of spells in a single turn before opponents can interact.
