Mono-red counter-aggro type deal going on here. Made in response to the massive aggro surge in the early tourneys of the new Theros standard game. It started out as aggro with alot more creatures but couldnt keep up with the other aggro decks (mostly GW and RG) decks at fnm.
Spells
A simple yet effective engine of pure defensive and offensive burn:
Strike/Shock/Mortars-Pure burn in the short and long game.
Magma Jet-Burn plus scry
Molten Birth-good for 3 1/1 tokens with just one pyromancer out and at least 4 damage with a purphoros out and can sometimes come back to your hand! A finisher in some circumstances
Hammer of Purphoros- Token Engine plus my creatures get haste.
Creatures
Boros Reckoner-A one creature wrecking ball that usually takes 2 creatures down with him. A defensive powerhouse in standard.
Young Pyromancer- The main token generator via the spells above. Combos impeccably with Purphoros.
Guttersnipe-2 to the dome with every instant/sorcery. Burn Burn Burn
Purphoros- Big Daddy Purp. Every token a shock to the opposing player and can purp up the little guys just as an enchantment. Devotion can be easily achieved via Reckoners and his Hammer but isnt a necessity.
Ogre Battledriver- makes all my elemental guys half lighting bolts with haster and all the hammer tokens 5/3 dudes
Sideboard
-Act of Treason-Good against aggro
-Burning Earth-Death to the complex mana base
-Electrickery- Kill all the little ones
-Ratchet Bomb-kills the Det Spheres, other problematic enchantments
-Skullcrack- A must against any kind of life gain which is hard for this deck to deal with.
-Massive Raid-Can deal massive amounts of damage if 1/1 tokens arent dealt with. Possible candidate for main deck if reckoner seems too conditional to not be replaced by an istant after play test.
