Uses the Relentless Rush intro deck from Dragons of Tarkir as a core for red/black aggro shenanigans. Let's see how much better we can make it on a budget...

My first ever Magic the Gathering deck, so it's probably... got a lot of room for improvement ;P

Any suggestions you have, I'm all ears.

What I'm going for: a pretty fast red/black aggro deck that uses and abuses the dash mechanic while still maintaining a small board presence. Ideally I would have two or three of the shamans out providing buffs for my other creatures as they enter the battle for their dash cost, and thus hitting hard and fast before the opponent can bring out their real big stuff.

Win condition: 2 or 3 shamans on the board when I play Thunder Brute

Notes: I slowed the deck down a bit from the base intro deck, as I found that while I could get lands down reliably, I could use some form of board presence, particularly early on before the deck starts to ramp up. Also thinking about some other interesting mechanics that I want to see how viable they are in a deck like this. (Tribute, inspired).

Not looking to be super competitive at first, just ideally want to hold my own at FNM, do well enough for a prize or what have you.

Any thoughts?
