Strategy
Torbran, Thane of Red Fell leads a deck built from the cards players most often run with it, pointing repeated damage at players. The list holds 12 ramp pieces, 9 pieces of targeted interaction, 4 board wipes and 9 sources of card draw, at an average mana value of 3.11.
Early: Use the early turns on mana. Chandra, Torch of Defiance and the rest of the 12 ramp pieces are what let the deck cast Torbran, Thane of Red Fell on curve and keep casting after it.
Mid: Once the commander is down, the deck wants to be doing two things at once: advancing its own board and answering everyone else's. Lightning Bolt is the first answer you will usually reach for, and Tectonic Giant keeps the hand full while you do it.
Late: Hold Fiery Confluence for the turn the table gets ahead of you - with 4 in the deck you can afford to use one early and still have an answer later. At 3.11 average mana value the top end is middling, which means most turns hold two spells.
Win conditions: Wins by pointing damage at players until they run out of life.
