If you want to play a longer more mid-to-lategame style deck in Mono Red that interacts more with the table, well, it gets more challenging because it makes Mono Red's inherent weaknesses more glaring: subpar card draw and ramp, subpar answers to creatures, minimal options for enchantment removal, commander protection, and recursion, things that get more pronounced as the game progresses
