Deck overview

This is a general-power mono-red deck built around Etali, Primal Storm. The main plan is to develop mana, give Etali, Primal Storm haste with Lightning Greaves, Hammer of Purphoros, Anger, or another haste source, then attack to cast free spells from the tops of all four libraries. The commander can create a large swing, but the revealed cards are random and the deck does not reliably convert that swing into lethal damage or a lock. Ramp is functional, though much of it is slow or one-shot. Interaction covers creatures and artifacts reasonably well but has limited stack and enchantment coverage. The largest weaknesses are access to haste, protection, card selection, and recovery after the commander is removed. Possibility Storm and Vexing Bauble provide situational disruption, not a dependable asymmetric prison.
