A more midrange build of RG Monsters focusing on playing big threats starting turn 3. Explore helps to smooth out the draw and provides early attackers and blockers. Rhonas, Glorybringer and Phoenix are the big win conditions of the deck. Heart of Kiran and Chandra pair well together to help keep Rhonas active and provide their own threats. Ghalta is a fun additional win condition. Magma Spray and Abrade to keep early threats off the board.

Sideboard options for control: Bestiary, Catsnek, Carnage Tyrant. Enchantment based Removal: Brontodon and Naturalize Aggro: Sweltering Suns, Death Gorge and Pounce.
