I've always loved combat tricks like Boros Fury-Shield, so now that we have all these cool new cards for the Jeskai decks, I think it's high time I made a deck that does nothing but reverse the effects of whatever my opponent throws at me. At first I was going to splash blue so I could Swerve spells too, but when I looked at what just R/W could do, I thought it best to call it a day there. Besides, Wild Ricochet can ruin people's lives without blue mana, so why bother with anything else?

Go ahead. Attack me. Block me. Bolt me. See if it works.
