Sideboard


<\center>

Khans of Tarkir season standard deck.

After playing my "Mardu Good Stuff" deck for a couple weeks I decided that I love the way aggro feels in the format right now and decided to build my own "Red Deck Wins" variant. However, unlike most RDW builds, I wanted mine to really shine mid-to-late game if need be so I added some bigger threats like Ashcloud Phoenix and Chandra, Pyromaster.

Mainbaord summary:

the mainbaord is very much like your typical RDW build with plenty of little fast dudes like Akroan Crusader or Monastery Swiftspear and quick little combat tricks and burn spells for crazy fast damage in the first few turns. Where this deck really catches people off guard though is when you stop playing 1-drops and cast stuff like Ashcloud Phoenix. That card is especially good here because my life total is irrelevant to me for the most part as I'm just trying to smash my opponents as low as possible as fast as possible. I will Morph Ashcloud Phoenix as many times as I'm able to keep getting that extra 2 damage in.

Some notable synergy:

Monastery Swiftspear + Titan's Strength or Coordinated Assault = HUGE early damage. Now say you have 2 Titan's Strength! WHOA!!

Wooded Foothills and Hammer of Purphoros says goodbye mana flooding!!

Chandra, Pyromaster is an awesome "0 button" for this deck when you ahead or maybe even at parody and she is awesome for when you're behind making it so your opponents big stabilizers can't block.

Sideboard summary:

Back to Nature is a huge sideboard item for this deck as it gets rid of most other decks sideboards against me such as Banishing Light, Chained to the Rocks or Suspension Field. Everything else is there to deal with big powerful threats I can't otherwise deal with OR cards that help me win the race against the mirror-match.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

P. S. does anyone else love Pokemon, Final Fantasy and X-men as much as me to notice Ashcloud Phoenix's relationship with all three? No?... Let me help:

I don't know... I just find it super funny for some reason! Hahaha
