Nova Soul - Elemental Tribal (Turn 1 Win possible)

Modern Aggro Budget Burn Competitive Red Deck Wins Tribal

ScrOuch


Sideboard


This is a very aggressive, very fast deck with multiple small combos to annoy your opponent to win very early.

Combos:

Flamekin Harbinger + Nova Chaser :

Play the Harbinger, search for a Nova Chaser, cast it, exile the Harbinger and when the Nova Chaser dies, bring the Harbinger back and it's ability triggers again. Easy as that

Assault Strobe + Incandescent Soulstoke + Nova Chaser :

Put Nova Chaser for only two Mana on the battlefield with haste, play Assault Strobe and do 20 Damage instantly. Same with Temur Battle Rage. It costs 1 more, but it's an instant, so your opponent won't see it coming!

Incandescent Soulstoke + Thunderblust :

The fact that Thunderblust has Persist is very useful here. Put Thunderblust onto the battlefield with Soulstoke, attack, sacrifice it and it comes back and remains on the battlefield.

Ramp:

Simian Spirit Guide

Generator Servant

Pyretic Ritual

Card Draw:

Faithless Looting :

Finally a card for red that provides at least a bit of card draw. Let's try it out.

Temur Battle Rage:

Instant finisher together with Nova Chaser that your opponents won't even see comin.

TURN 2 WIN:

I realized it's even possible to win on Turn 2. All you need is the perfect Hand and perfect first draw:Your Hand:

3x Simian Spirit Guide

2x Mountain

1x Incandescent Soulstoke

1x Nova Chaser

First draw:

Assault Strobe

Game:

Turn 1:

Play Mountain, exile 2 Simian Spirit Guides, cast Incandescent Soulstoke.

Turn 2:

Play Mountain, use Soulstoke's ability to play Nova Chaser, exile the last Simian Spirit Guide and cast Assault Strobe to do 20 Damage with one Hit.

...and even better(!!!):

TURN 1 WIN:

Big thanks to Bovine073 for his suggestions!! Without him, I wouldn't have thought of that idea.

Here's how it goes in 4 easy steps:

Your Hand:

1x Mountain

3x Simian Spirit Guide

1x Kiln Fiend

1x Pyretic Ritual

1x Expedite

(draw from Expedite: Assault Strobe OR Temur Battle Rage)

Turn 1:

1) Play Mountain, exile 1 Simian Spirit Guide, cast Kiln Fiend

2) exile 2 more Spirit Guides, cast Pyretic Ritual (Kiln Fiend: +3/+0)

3) cast Expedite on Kiln Fiend (Kiln Fiend: +6/+0, Haste), draw Assault Strobe/Temur Battle Rage

4) cast it (Kiln Fiend: +9/+0, Haste, Double Strike) and swing for 20 damage!

Wow, THAT feels good.


That's it. I hope, you like what you see! Suggestions are absolutely welcome.

Finally, I figured out how to make a Turn 1 Win possible!!

Therefor, I swapped two Ball Lightnings and one Thunderblust with three Kiln Fiends and two Faithless Lootings with two Expedites.

See descriptions above to see how it works!
