The perfect deck for a commander night fuelled by hatred and a LOT of magic white powder.

It uses one of the most useless commanders you can find Jiwari, the Earth Aflame to make yourself not look like a threat. Then proceed to cast a LOT of mana generation like Gauntlet of Power, Caged Sun and Braids of Fire.

Once you get a lot of mana, just pump it wherever u want, IDK. Make a bomb with Ashling the Pilgrim, generate EVEN MORE MANA with Everflowing Chalice or try getting some expensive and obviously not forshadowing something stuff like Dictate of the Twin Gods or Angrath's Marauders. Then magically, send someone to the shadowrealm out of nowhere (even though everybody saw you assembling the combo) with Brash Taunter + Jiwari, the Earth Aflame's activated ability. Then probably die because showing everybody that you have a tactical nuke makes everybody nervous apparently.

The deck was born out of two stupid concepts: making a bad commander work and making a mono-red control deck. It probably did not achieve either.

The more control-y part of the deck comes from all the interaction packed into it, which ends up serving more so you do not die in turn 5 to a random gruul deck than as control per se, but it works. Annoy the blue player with Burnout (because, probably they deserved it), and make everybody regret not taking you seriously when you say "In response" as a useless mono-red deck with cards like Bolt Bend, Wild Ricochet and Wyll's Reversal. Then add a bit of random removal just because yes, having Blasphemous Act will ALWAYS make you laugh when the green player gets annoyed at you after seing every creature die. Then die a turn later as they rebuild and Craterhoof you to oblivion.

I CLEARLY know that the deck is not really good, and also know that there are a LOT of much better cards like Pyroblast, Red Elemental Blast, Ruby Medallion, Blood Moon, Brotherhood's End, Ruination or Deflecting Swat, but they were all out of budget (most of the more "expensive" cards on the deck I had lying around). So I know the deck can be improved, but not with crazy expensive cards. Regardless, I encourage any of you if you liked this Redbull-fuelled list to suggest any changes, useful cards or anything that may make it better, as even though it is kinda bad, it for sure is FUN to play it, especially when they first realize all the stupid stuff you want to do with it.
