Aggro for Days: Bash n' Burn

Standard* Aggro Goblins RG (Gruul)

iBurgerKing


Sideboard


This is a deck I whipped up for Origins Standard. By using small, efficient creatures and lots of burn spells, your opponent is dead before they know what happened. [Avaricious Dragon is a placeholder for Scab-Clan Berserker]

The Decklist: CREATURES:

Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh - This powerhouse can deal small burn as a creature, but when she flips she relentlessly reduces your opponent's life total and eliminates small creatures

Monastery Swiftspear - This great creature hits immediately, and gets bigger the more you burn your opponents

Zurgo Bellstriker - A 2/2 for one who hits big early on can pose an early threat

Goblin Rabblemaster - Taking advantage of the Goblin subtheme of the deck, this bomb brings a massive threat to the table each turn

Scab-Clan Berserker - Make this hasty beater a utility creature that punishes almost any archetype with removal, counter spells, burn, or any noncreature spells

Abbot of Keral Keep - This threat can swing and get bigger for more damage, plus it gives you a free card late game

INSTANTS:

Lightning Strike - The basis of burn

Wild Slash - Quick burn, pretty basic (a small Strike)

Atarka's Command - Burn, mass pump, an extra land, or no life gain? Cool with me

Stoke the Flames - A possible 4 damage at Instant speed for no mana? What else does life require?

Titan's Strength - One mana for a large pump and a Scry 1 is very good quality in this deck

Fiery Impulse - In this deck, this card is a Lightning Bolt for creatures only, which is just fine with me

SORCERIES:

Exquisite Firecraft - Like Fiery Impulse, this is always a 3-mana 4 uncounterable damage

Hordeling Outburst - Three attackers/blockers that can chump block for days (plus that Goblin theme)

Dragon Fodder - This is a smaller Outburst, so we know this is fine

LANDS:

Red Aggro splashing for the Command; we use lots of Mountains, some Forests, and some Foothills to fix

SIDEBOARD:

Shaman of the Great Hunt - Comes in against Control to push damage faster

Smash to Smithereens - That U/R Artifact deck with Thopters everywhere? Kill their threats and deal extra damage

Back to Nature - I have a feeling an Enchantment deck will go around

Roast - Midrange. Enough said

Rending Volley - That White Weenie deck that is highly anticipated? U/W Control? This is great in several matchups.

Thunderbreak Regent - Any deck with removal or large fliers can have this come in

Hope you enjoy this deck! Feedback appreciated!
