Legacy Mono-Red Sneak Attack deck

UPDATED MARCH/2022
Mono-Red Sneak Attack is a strategy that focuses on effects to put a creature from the player's hand onto the battlefield and give it haste. It receives its name from the card <c>Sneak Attack</c>.
==Overview==
This strategy uses two cards to put creatures into play: <c>Sneak Attack</c> and <c>Through the Breach</c>.
Since the deck is in Mono-Red and doesn't have access to neither discard nor counterspell, the players developed two major ways to protect the deck that is either to give some elements of prison to it or power through counterspells.
This is usually done with cards like <c>Chalice of the Void</c>, <c>Blood Moon</c>, <c>Trinisphere</c>. And while that does take up a considerable amount of slots in the deck, this also becomes a good opportunity to implement some <c>Karn, the Great Creator</c> strategies alongside with it.
And the way the players tend to power through opposing counterspells is to use <c>Defensive Grid</c> in the Main board and leave more slots open for the combo.
This strategy's core uses zero cards from the Reserved List, however it benefits from the ramp of <c>City of Traitors</c>
and this is the only Reserved List card usually present in Decklists. Despite that, some players choose to play the deck without <c>City of Traitors</c> and replace it with more copies of <c>Ancient Tomb</c>, <c>Sandstone Needle</c> or <c>Crystal Vein</c> - and sometimes even with <c>Peat Bog</c>.
Because of the possibility to play competitively without Reserved List cards, this deck is interesting for budget-limited players.
Additional support can be given to the strategy with cards like <c>Shatterskull Smashing</c>, <c>Valakut Awakening</c> and <c>Boseiju, Who Shelters All</c>.
Since both <c>Sneak Attack</c> and <c>Through the Breach</c> require the player to sacrifice the creature eventually, the most common player's choices for creatures are: <c>Griselbrand</c>, <c>Emrakul, the Aeons Torn</c>, <c>Worldspine Wurm</c>, <c>Ashen Rider</c>, <c>Woodfall Primus</c> or <c>Inferno Titan</c> (which can actually be cast at some point in the game).
