Foreword: this deck is prime proof that knowing your meta and being able to build a synergistic deck to beat your local meta can make you successful. My meta is HEAVY junk midrange, BUG control, esper control or g/w beats(most people took up g/w after my main deck Chinese kitty kitchen(2x 4-0 champ) after it went undefeated several FNM/game days in a row). There are a few r/g monster decks floating around and a handful of burn too. But since red isn't popular lately I decided to bust this guy out again.

I just got the Sacred Foundry post winning my local TNT going 4-0. This is not a tier 1 deck by any means but it is explosive and fun.

So after tinkering lots with this deck lately, Journey into Nyx has brought TONS to this deck. Still rocking turn 4 and 5 wins against some pretty great decks, but now I have more and more evasion for longer games I can't bust open quick

Fabled Hero is still the star. Madcap Skills+ Fabled Hero is pretty much game over.

Akroan Line Breaker ...holy crap. He doesn't look like much, but against any non-red deck he is incredible. I had a game drag out and didn't look like I was going to do much, but then I pulled enough to let him swing for 12 unblockable for 2 mana. Also went for 17 t4 several times. Pretty much a beast.

Prophetic Flamespeaker: I was big on him, then hated him, now I decided he's a good 2-of in case games don't blitz out. He gets through often just because I have bigger threats to block most times. What I found he is incredible for is digging for lands though. I don't want more than 2 in here since the RR in the mana cost is hard sometimes, but oh my can he find answers. Will end up being a solid addition.

Any feedback, suggestions and +1's are appreciated. Also check out my trade binder

Had a great night of magic. My meta is HUGE on junk constellation, bug control and g/w beats(one guy plays almost an exact copy of my own g/w deck Chinese kitty kitchen(2x 4-0 champ). So I decided instead of my established g/w deck I'd play this dark horse deck. Since apparently people don't play gruul monsters anymore it was ripe for akroan linebreaker to destroy everything. And he did.

Round 1: played the g/w clone. I drew 4 red mana and kept, then turn 4 akroan linebreaker hit for 17 with Madcap Skills and 2 Titan's Strength. It was easy from there. Game 2 was the same story only Fabled Hero was the one laying the hurt.

Round 2: BUG control. It seemed like he just tried to put the Jace and Vraska duel decks together with Desecration Demon as the win con. Vraska was annoying an he stole game 2 but he had to chump early game 3. Won 2-1

Round 3: played a junk deck that was almost mbd(it was mono black last time I played him). Game 1 was a duel between Fabled Hero and Master of the Feast. I stuck away bc I got my Chained to the Rocks last second. Game 2 I mulliganed down to 4 and still didn't see any lands. He made quick work of me with a perfect curve and I didn't see a land the whole game. Game 3 I got Prophetic Flamespeaker rolling early and forced him to play defense. Won the attrition war 2-1

Round 4: played another g/w aggro with all sorts of value beats. Game 1 he dropped 2 Fleecemane Lion and 2 Voice of Resurgence on the same turn when I was sitting on Baltic with crap. Game 2 was another linebreaker special hitting for lots fast. Game 3 I topdecked Glare of Heresy to answer his Archangel of Thune and got 2 Chained to the Rocks before the lions got monstrous.

Finished 4-0, pulled crap cards but got some cash out of it. 8-3 on the night in games, not too shabby for not playing this deck much lately. I also traded for 4 Sacred Foundryfoil after the games were all done which I think is even more telling about the deck. It just plays well. The 4 lands I got for the deck cost more than the rest of it combined. True story
