To some extents this is a tribute to the red deck, when I first started magic my eldest brother gave be a budget red goblins deck (circa. 1999) as I was just introduced to the game I thought red had it all, cheap and abusable creatures and LOTS of ways to deal damage, red decks were quick, simple to play and seemed to dominate the field. Well, with the amount of mana rocks, this deck is quick; it's fairly strait forward (dragons, dragons, dragons and more dragons) and seems to dominate (via dragons).

I must admit this is my second EDH homage to the Red Wizard the first was a generic Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker goblin deck which I despised and vowed never to use such a boring EDH concept again.

There are many versions of this deck online, most of them have some kind of sacrifice package and some way to recur the sacrifices.

Question and Answer time!

Q: Tech1 why don't you use those cards? A: If I wanted to cry from graveyard hate because 1/4 of my deck is useless I would play Sedris, the Traitor King (I do and graveyard removal sucks) :( ...

...Anyway...

Q: Why is Mycosynth Lattice in your deck?A: It's one of two major win cons Mycosynth Lattice + Hellkite Tyrant = gain control of everything. Mycosynth Lattice also allows for awesome removal.

I think that's just about it. If you have any questions feel free to ask away!
