Mono-Red Aggro
One Cost:
Legion Loyalist
: This guy is being massively underrated right now. He makes all of the creatures in the deck harder to block, or a major pain to block. If you have any creatures out, he's not a dead draw. He makes the red God GREAT as a creature as well. He's won me countless games, and I highly suggest him in almost all creature heavy Red Decks.
Rakdos Cackler
: One, for a 2/2. A 3 of, because not being able to block sometimes is awful and I don't necessarily need x8 One drops. Great card early game, less so late game.
Two Cost:
Ash Zealot
: Two more towards my devotion for a 2/2 Haste and First Strike. Awesome card.
Burning-Tree Emissary: May seem like a weird card in here, but it's great. Not usually played on turn 2, but rather 3-4.(Burning-Tree into a Fantatic, or when a Purphoros is out.) Also, being able to burn something and get a creature laid down is awesome as well. On top of all that, it adds to the Devotion.
Gore-House Chainwalker
: He's a one of, and he's a nice 3/2 but can't block. Awesome to play off the Burning-Tree though!
Lightning Strike: Two for 3 damage. Great removal, as well as hitting someone in the face.
Magma Jet: Two for 2 and Scrying 2 in red is AMAZING. Got land coming that you don't need? Bottom. Stuck with 2 land and need to make sure you get a land next turn? It's yours. Instant speed deck manipulation, and usually used for removal. Great card.
Three Cost:
Chandra's Phoenix
: 2/2 Flying and Haste and it'll keep coming back if I burn them. Adds to devotion, and goes over the top. The recursion is awesome with Purphoros as well!
Boros Reckoner: Three RRR for devotion, for a 3/3 that hinders attacking, and hey, its freaking Boros Reckoner. Nobody wants to see him played against them.
Four Cost:
Purphoros, God of the Forge: This guy makes it so you can still win late game without a Fanatic. Best god in my opinion and at 2x in this deck, he always works wonders and I'm always glad to play him. He's the bounce back you need in Red if you haven't won on Turn 4-5.
Fanatic of Mogis
: Amazing. you get a 4/2 and deal a ton of damage. The Fanatic is the Bomb that wins you games, and if you're not playing 4x, you will be after playing him. Played againest him in Pre-release and that's were I saw his power. Top notch uncommon.
Land:
Playing 22x Mountains, and it works great! Rarely any issues.
Sideboard:
Purphoros, God of the Forge x1: I have an extra for the matchup's againest newer players that I can hold devotion easier againest.
Skullcrack x2: Obvious card to board in against UW Control, or anything with Lifegain.
Mizzium Mortars x2: Two cards- Blood Baron of Vizkopa and Kalonian Hydra
Act of Treason x2: Great againest G/R Monsters, or anything that tries to throw out big badies.
Shock
x2: This is for the Mirror match(Mono-Red). Everything in Mono-Red is basically a bear, making
Shock
a no brainer.
Peak Eruption
x3: Also for the Mirror match of mono-red, or G/R, because slowing someone down and hitting them in the face for three is worth it.
Burning Earth
x3: A must for EVERY mono-red deck sideboard. Shutsdown control if you can stick it. If not, they have to save the counter for it, so you just hit them while they wait for it. Best sideboard card in red right now.
Placed first in my local FNM on 11/8/13 of 30 people.
