Molten Man, Inferno Incarnate

Molten Man is a straightforward aggro commander that ramps you into big red threats while growing into a solid beater itself. Every Mountain you control makes him bigger, so you're naturally incentivized to play lands and mana acceleration. The deck rewards you for doing what red wants anyway—casting spells, making mana, and attacking early and often. Your core gameplan is to ramp aggressively (especially into Mountains), grow Molten Man into a 5+ power threat, and close games with combat damage supported by red's removal and burn suite.

The sacrifice clause on his exit is a minor drawback that you'll mostly ignore in casual games, but it prevents him from being easily bounced for value. Focus on protecting him once he's online and threatening, or lean into land-heavy ramp strategies that naturally generate value. You're not looking for complex combos—just a fast mana engine that doubles as a growing threat. Red's rituals, artifact mana, and land tutors all synergize beautifully here.
