Rite of Flame-->Pyretic Ritual-->Seething Song=Yes, 5 mana first turn....
Thunderblust, maybe? Then Fling it turn 2?
@lukemol
Ah, good point. More than anything, I liked the this-->to this-->to this rhythm. Although, now, you're much more correct, and I should update that to
Mountain-->Rite of Flame-->Rite of Flame-->Rite of Flame-->Seething Song-->Geosurge
Hamletback Goliath...or...you know...Ember Shot
I prefer the Hamletback Goliath for the lols.
Red is so gross.

Pretty awesome mana exceleration in red. Though also nicely balanced. starts out worse than dark ritual but if you keep with it, it will become better than dark ritual.

@cplmontana
Why Pyretic Ritual? 2x Rite of Flame would net more mana.
The first Rite of Flame = spend 1 red mana for 2 red mana. The second Rite of Flame = spend 1 red mana for 3 red mana, which is strictly better than spending 1 red + 1 colorless for 3 red mana.
The only reasons I see for going Rite of Flame-->Pyretic Ritual would be if you're playing EDH and can only have a single copy of any given card or your opponent has graveyard hate.

For those comparing this with Dark Ritual... Dark Ritual is better because it's an instant, people. This is a sorcery! Still good, though. I just thought I'd clear it up a bit.
I thought that you could replicate this infinitely with Djinn Illuminatus, but freakin' copies' replicate costs can't be paid!

If you've got one in the graveyard, you can go infinite with Izzet Guildmage.
You copy the spell, then let the copy resolve, giving you 3 mana (there's a Rite of Flame in your graveyard), then pay the spell and copy again.
No, it doesn't give infinite mana, but you can get infinite storm.

Cards like this lead to annoying decks that let only one person actually play, while their opponent sits there and loses to that "lucky" hand. Thank goodness for discard. yay Duress

First time you cast :: Meh, RR. Woohoo.
Second time you cast :: Epic - red dark ritual
Third+ time you cast :: HOLY CRUD. GETTING 3+ MANA overall PER CARD.
