Also on looting. Its a good card for decks looking to do stuff. You are not trying to do stuff though. You are trying to kill. Kill > stuff. Pretty simple. If you want to filter use looting. Trying to reanimate use looking. Trying to get to your bomb use looting. But if you are trying to kill use brimestone.
I went 2-2 .Lost to BR zombies 2-1 and only because i kept drawing lands for 5 turns.
Also lost 2-1 to some kind of life gain GB with Jarads, Boneyard Wurm and things like that.I only draw a Pillar and 7 lands in a row !!!
Won against Jund easily 2-0 and GW midrange 2-1 rather easy i think.
Since it was the first try of the deck i think i will cut a Hellion and a dragon , Bonfire just doesnt seem useful so this will be gone too.
My quick opinion on the cards , Stonewright is good , quite good actually. Ash Zealot is even better. Hellrider seems good but i only saw 1 all night. Thundermaw Hellkite , no need to say anything about it but i think 4 is too much. Stromkirk Noble works better than i thought . Hound of Griselbrand was in my SB and its good there.Used it against GW and was ok.
Need more work on SB i think and some minor changes to MB but this RDW is very strong in any variant.
We also talked about Vexing Devil after the game was over and although i dont think is so good , i might give it a try next week.
Hope this helps a bit.
I've played without Vexing Devil now and trust me its not even that good.
I play only 2 Thundermaws because they are basically just another finisher.
Stonewright is AWESOME.
I think 1 hellion crucible is fine. Stonewright is my main Mana sink and you really want the double red for ash zealot so thats why i prefer 1 hellion because you dont get screwed.
Mizziam mortars is more of a SB Card against midranged decks i find. I would definatly find a way to work in 3 pyrhearts and a SB slot of 3 Lightning maulers in case of a mirror where you need to race.
The deck looks pretty good. Just keep the dragon at 3 at the least. 3 is the # for wanting it every game. 5 quick damage to the face is a great finisher. 2 hellion looks like the right amount.
Not sure why the lists are still running bonfire. It is not that good in current standard. Brimestone is better in that spot. 3 of.
I'll save you some time, they're all bad, and you can't realistically run three Thundermaws on 22 land ~ there is an amazing article by hamfactorial explaining all the maths breakdown in the Rx subforum that explains in detail how to balance your curve.

The only reason i want to cut the lands to 22 is just because after my first 4-5 games , i was always drawing too many.Every single game i sided out a Hellion.
I know of course that you have played a lot more with this deck so you are probably right about land count but i just dont feel i need that many.
I might just be wrong but i will need to play more with it
Bad draws. It happens. I thought 22 lands was crazy running 2 Thundermaw Hellkite and dropped it to 20 and I drew less.
my best card purchase ever was those Thundermaws , i bought them for 11$ each this summer .I just felt it was too good to be so cheap
