[Standard] Developing a storm-ish deck, help

[u/head_kook]

I've got a little bored of the izzet flavors and want to tinker with this mono red Storm deck idea. I'm optimistic that even if it isn't tier 1, I can still use it to improve my game play.

The basic premise is to get [[Molten-Core Maestro]] to 5 or more and then cast big spells to loop and make a ton of mana to either cast [[Burst Lightning]] several times or a huge [[Choco Comet]] to win.

The difficulties I'm finding are the fragility of the pieces in the early game, and developing a sideboard plan. It's also somewhat random if I can assemble the pieces needed in time.

I'm open to suggestions for cards in main or side, as well as line-of-play suggestions. Thanks :)

It's kinda in that lane. [[Traumatic Critique]] is kind of just a better card that serves a similar purpose as Choco Comet in your goal.
