Mono-Red Oil Counter Burn

A mono-red Historic deck that turns oil counters—and the burn spells in the same deck—into direct damage, ending games with reach and aggressive creatures.

Urabrask's Forge gains an oil counter each combat, so with All Will Be One, every combat counter trigger becomes a damage spell. Solphim, Mayhem Dominus doubles all noncombat damage, which turns Lightning Strike and Shock into huge burn. Imodane, the Pyrohammer punishes the opponent even harder whenever you use instant or sorcery burn. Koth, Fire of Resistance and Sarkhan, Fireblood give extra mana and board presence while contributing to the red mana plan.

Keep hands with three lands and a cheap creature or enough burn to clear blockers. Hands without red mana are unplayable. You generally want to start with Scorch Spitter, Fanatical Firebrand, or a burn spell that can remove an early blocker. Mulligan away slow hands filled with only six-drops and no early pressure.

Early: curve into a one-drop attacker and start burning opposing creatures or damage to the opponent. Mid: resolve a planeswalker, Solphim, Imodane, or Urabrask's Forge. If All Will Be One is also on the battlefield, Urabrask's Forge becomes a repeatable source of damage. Late: close out with big dragons, Immortal Phoenix recursion, or a large Shivan Devastator. Use direct burn to finish the game when the board is stalled.

The deck has almost no card draw, so if it runs out of gas, it can struggle against control. All Will Be One is a one-of, so do not build around it as your primary plan. Lifegain and cheap blockers can slow the early aggression, and artifact/enchantment removal can shut down Urabrask's Forge.
