Sideboard



This is my take on Skred Red. It's now a dragon-heavy list. I feel that the removal suite in the deck plus the raw power the dragons provide can put this up in tier 1 soon.

Blood Moon- Non-basic land hate is fun. :)

Skred- removal and wins the game with Boros Reckoner.

Lightning Bolt- Lightning Bolt...

Roast - Stellar removal in red. Hits almost as much as skred can earlier, so it makes early game stronger, and late game still strong.

Stormbreath Dragon- I like him over Thundermaw Hellkite mainly because of the Pro-White. The monstrosity is just icing.

Koth of the Hammer- You play mountains. You play Koth. There's less of him since removal on animated lands hurt.

Boros Reckoner- He makes the game even harder for your opponent. He's such a threat regardless what role he plays.

Eidolon of the Great Revel- Modern hate. Get him out turn 1 and start the hurt on them early. Multiples can make aggro decks cry. Sit and wait for your bombs to come to you.

Simian Spirit Guide - Because who doesn't love a turn 2 Blood Moon? :)

Chandra, Pyromaster - Card advantage, Ping, and the best she can do is give me 3 bolts as a finisher. This is over Outpost Siege because it was a card I always sided out and was a card I wish I didn't see on the top deck. Chandra is more satisfying in this sense.

Avaricious Dragon- After testing, he's proven himself to stay. In nearly all cases, I love him on top decks, and in opening hands, dumping my hand aggressively then dropping him feels good. 8/8 m8

Thunderbreak Regent- This dragon makes the other dragons even more of a pain. Multiples hurt even more, and with Eidolon, we're basically shocking and bolting them with their removal.

Relic of Progenitus- Grave hate mainly because and grave shenanigans... if its not needed, its a card draw.

Scrying Sheets- Find them Snowy lands! = tons of damage for Skred.

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx- Currently testing in this build almost exclusively because of the amount of double red permanents I'm running. So far I like, but not including it in the list permanently yet. I'll take it to the next tourney I go to and see how that works.


Sideboard:

Dragon's Claw - for those RDW decks that we can almost race.

Ratchet Bomb- more boggle hate/ hard to remove cards hate.

Vandalblast- Because hate affinity more.

Boil- Because screw blue control, fish, and scapeshift. Pretty much goes in versus any blue deck.

Anger of the Gods- Board sweeper. No Volcanic Fallout because of the addition of Eidolon of the Great Revel. He makes it hurt a lot. :c

Ricochet Trap- with a bunch of 4 drops and draw-go decks being plentiful in my meta, I want to give them a taste of their own medicine.

Pithing Needle- Stops Liliana of the Veil as the first thing to come to mind, and then anything else that comes along.

Suggestions

Updates Add

+2 Simian Spirit Guides to optimize early game plays, while letting mana later on be less stressed.

+2 Roasts is premium removal.

-3 Anger of the Gods and -1 Pyroclasm because mainboard sweepers is less necessary in my meta currently.

-2 Molten Rains (SB) because it's one of the weaker sb cards I think.

+2 Anger of the Gods (SB) because sweepers are still needed in the 75.
