Hey guys, I'm new to this website however I've been playing magic for a while. I wanted some advice with this deck here, description is included in the link.

Too many cards, and not a lot of Creatures. I would suggest making the deck two colors. If you still want a Flashback theme, I would suggest you go with Blue Mana (:manau:) as your second choice.

It also gives your deck some utility beyond trying to burn everything in sight, which I don't think will work very well in the long run.

Here are some other ideas for the Red Mana (:manar:) part of your deck:

To add onto what Dbloch said, some great creatures to consider would be Chandra's Phoenix and Delver of Secrets. Running so many instant and sorceries allows delver to flip pretty reliably (along with Ponder you are pretty well guaranteed to flip him) and the phoenix leads to inevitability since you can keep bringing him back.

Hope this helps! :)

also I'm a big fan of Galvanoth but he might be a bit too slow as in mana cost wise for this style of deck(as also is charmbreaker devils imo.)

This actually started out as a red/blue deck but I found the blue portion to be rather effective so I decided it deserve it's own deck, which I posted here.

I know what direction I'm going as far as blue is concerned but I don't quite know what I'm doing with red.

I actually have a Charmbreaker's Devils deck that is red and blue. The devils are the only creatures in it. Here's the deck list if you want to pull some ideas from it:

Cackling Counterpart x 4 (Copy the Charmbreaker Devils OR Traitorous Blood an opponent's creature and copy it.)
Think Twice x 4
Disperse x 4
Gut Shot x 4
Reverberate x 2
Charmbreaker Devils x 4
Traitorous Blood x 4 (Take an opponent's blocker OR target the Devils to give them trample.)
Gitaxian Probe x 4
Brimstone Volley x 4
Ponder x 4
Fling x 4 (Toss the Devils at your opponent for really high direct damage.)
Island x 6
Mountain x 10
Sulfur Falls x 4

I'm also going to try Runechanter's Pike in it, but I haven't had the chance, yet.
