Sideboard


My Take on the Mono-Red "Ramunap" Chainwhirler Aggro.

This is a deck type that makes a lot of headways into leagues, FNM and Sunday Showdown and is versatile for those willing to use a bunch of cards that are nearing their end of their life in standard.

2x Ahn-Crop Crasher Three drop with haste that can get around blockers.

4x Bomat Courier One of the best cards to use early to net you cards when you no longer have much in your hand, as well as an effective way to discard some Earthshaker Khenra for later. Also, a good cheap Defender late game that can net you some cards after a block before the damage step.

3x Earthshaker Khenra Great card due to its eternalize ability, its also good to prevent blockers early game.

4x Goblin Chainwhirler Great card with first strike that deals damage to everything your opponent has as well as themselves, this is great for token removal against History of Benalia if followed up with a Sac of Fanatical Firebrand

4x Hazoret the Fervent A game winner that can be used to discard for damage, great to be used late game with Earthshaker Khenra or to discard other copies of itself to ping a player for 2 damage. this card can win games because its indestructible and is extremely hard to remove for a lot of players.

2x Kari Zev, Skyship Raider Good for early game when the opponent may not have creatures out, needs 2 cards to block and always creates a 2/1 token to attack with it. Because of the Legendary Rule, I only play with 2.

2x Rekindling Phoenix Standard Aggro Staple these days, unless its exiled or its resulting token is destroyed. card that cannot be blocked easily due to its flying. If playing against a black heavy deck, it might be best to sideboard out the Glorybringers for these.

4x Soul-Scar Mage Great 1 drop that puts the pressure on Rekindling Phoenix, Hazoret and Glorybringer by using burn spells to give a permanent -x/-x on the creature to make them harmless, the Prowess ability can be stacked and using this strategy after the opponent declares blockers can help remove pesky cards from the board.

4x Abrade Basically Lightning Strike but with Artifact Removal, Great against Mirror Matches, Energy Decks, and decks that are artifact heavy in the current meta, Every Mono-Red deck I have seen runs a play-set of this because of Temur energy decks and vehicles.

4x Lightning Strike Great removal spell in red that can get rid of most cards by turn 2 or 3, Aggro staple that shouldn't have to be explained.

4x Shock Aggro Staple, no red deck should go without shock, its easy to use turn 1 against Llanowar Elves or to remove that pesky token Rekindling Phoenix brings out.

23x Mountain Because no mono red deck is any fun without a ton of mountains, and we need 23 in order for consistant use of the 4 drops, the Glorybringer's in the sideboard and the Banefire in the Sideboard for the control Match Ups.

2x Aethersphere Harvester, Vastly underrated card that can be used in many number of match ups especially against control decks, this card can be crewed by turn 3 to get your opponent down 3 live and gain 3 live yourself. I have also used this against Mono-Green Decks and its great for when you need more life by the time they bring out the cards with Trample

2x Banefire A great card for Control Match ups as you will probably win late game and want to hit them with something that they cannot counter or prevent at all. I have put 3 here for consistency sake, as you really really want to be able to win against Control as soon as you can!

2x Chandra's Defeat Great for the Mirror Match and a solid removal against Chandra, Torch of Defiance

2x Chandra, Torch of Defiance A great utilitarian card for Control Match Ups as its difficult to remove and best casted when they are tapped out, she is also good to use for a removal to deal 4 damage to a creature and is good to use to exile a card that you can cast late game if you need it or to deal that 2 damage, and her ultimate ability will end a game, anything you cast will cause the emblem to deal 5 damage to a creature or player of your choice.

2x Glorybringer Great 4/4 Flyer that cannot be removed with Abrade, Lightning Strike or Shock, Great for Mirror Matches as well as against Mono Green, Once its out even Mono-Red cannot Destroy it.

2x Pia Nalaar A good card that creates a flyer and a potential distraction for opponents, she can pump up Bomat Courier as well as Aethersphere Harvester when its side boarded in.

1x Rekindling Phoenix Standard Aggro Staple these days, unless its exiled or its resulting token is destroyed. card that cannot be blocked easily due to its flying.

2xFight with Fire Great card to use to kill Lyra Dawnbringer as well as an additional spell to use against control decks

If you like the deck then please UPVOTE it, Thanks!

didnt really get a chance to get to this till now, i went 1-2 at Sunday showdown with this, im not sure if its because im exhausted, or i misplayed or the opponent was just that much better than myself, but im thinking of making a new deck, maybe going blue white green or just blue white.
