{R} {R} {R} {R} {R}

Fairly casual deck that can start "going off" around turn 4-6.

Set up some haste enablers, play Etali, Primal Storm and you're good to go.
Win through multiple combats and/or commander damage.



{R} {R} {R} {R} {R}

Combos:

• Any creature with power ≥5 + Neheb, the Eternal + Aggravated Assault = Infinite combat



• Blightsteel Colossus + Chandra's Ignition = Instant infect death
  (Play Blightsteel Colossus early with Thran Temporal Gateway)



• Godo, Bandit Warlord + Helm of the Host + Hammer of Nazahn + Any haste enabler = Instant infinite combat



• It That Betrays + All Is Dust = Sacrifice all your things to "gain control" of everyone else's things

{R} {R} {R} {R} {R}

Things to review/change in the future:

• Land base may need some work.



• Cards in Misc category may distract from the goal of the deck. Further testing needed.



• Possibly too many haste cards? Testing needed.



• Not enough removal? Hasn't been a problem yet.

{R} {R} {R} {R} {R}

Strictly Better Replacements:

((No-budget options))

• Evolving Wilds, Terramorphic Expanse, Myriad Landscape : Arid Mesa, Scalding Tarn, Wooded Foothills, Bloodstained Mire
• Fire Diamond : Ruby Medallion

{R} {R} {R} {R} {R}

Self reminder: Current build includes Urabrask, Anger and Dowsing Dagger. Replace with Cursed Mirror, Hammer of Nazahn, Trailbrazer's Boots. Swap Tyrite Sanctum, Nephalia Academy and 2 Mountains for Flamekin Village, Hall of the Bandit Lord, Terrain Generator, and War Room.
