I think we pick Knight here and keep our options open; Helix is great, though.

Lightning Helix

This early, we should simply pick the most powerful card.

We're a firing our Helix? Even if we don't end up RW, take it away from our opponents.

Picking Lightning Helix. Even if it was Lightning Strike it would still be the best card in the pack.

Weaksauce. I'll take the Kinsbaile Balloonist. Extra evasion is nice.

I get the ironic pick of Kindle after Helix... but Baloonist seems pretty good, even if it's not quite a trained condor.

EDIT OK, Ironic removal FTW.

I'm fine with either the balloonist or the kindle, really. I guess I'll go with Balloonist.

Kindle

This is old school, where creatures were afterthoughts, and removal ruled the day.

Kindle kills balloonist for 2 mana less

guys, remember: this entire process is gonna be jank. there's no synergy, half the cards are from sets that hadn't heard of limited balance, and most of the creatures are terrible. removal is king, even when that removal sucks. yes, we have a sweet, sweet helix. no, that helix isn't going to singlehandedly answer all threats, so we need the bad answers too. this sort of format is exactly where BREAD shines.

Kindle. I like the balloonist too, and maybe he'll come around. But We're in prime Red deck wins (with some white assistance) position. Bad shock is still shock.
