Owlteeth on Judgment Day: Avacyn the Purifier EDH [PRIMER]

as a combo player, I saw you were playing R/W and immediately thought of the Solitary Confinement + Squee, Goblin Nabob combo. it is a good way to lock your opponents down if you really cant win. it also lets you win if you only have like 1 flyer and a really low life total. plus you con tutor for the enchantment with Idyllic Tutor or Enlightened Tutor.

Furnace of Rath also makes for a tasty damage buff, especially with lifelink. If you are running the aforementioned combo, it is essentially an ultimatum saying "concede now or die in 3 seconds." I also love using Manabarbs to slow down the opponents if that's your thing. If you do, I would suggest also running Personal Sanctuary and maybe Ankh of Mishra. That might just be from me loving my Mogis, God of Slaughter edh deck, though. if you decide to go with the damage doubler, Dictate of the Twin Gods and Gratuitous Violence are both pretty good. especially given that Gratuitous Violence only buffs your stuff.

If you put in any of these, it is essentially a permanent version of Quest for Pure Flame, so I would swap it with that. I personally don't like Grafted Wargear, so I would probably swap that for something else if you decide to put anything in, but if you like it, then it should stay. thats really just more a personal preference of mine because all of my "friends" run a ton of artifact removal.

I also like Pariah + Stuffy Doll , but I dont think that really fits the deck also, you have Boros Reckoner already, so Stuffy Doll might not be necessary.. I just thought it might be something to think about. it might be really good with Spirit Link or Spirit Loop, though. Mark of Asylum couold really make this combo work, too.

Fling might make a really good finisher for this deck. it can be great and take people by surprise.

that might not be very voltron though, so lets see if we can add some more aggro suggestions:

Kiln Fiend and Monastery Swiftspear. the best aggro in red. they both get buffs, but the fiend has something better than prowess. super prowess? turbo prowess? IDK, the point is they are good.

Aven Warcraft, Holy Mantle, Spirit Mantle and Spectra Ward give nice bonuses and protection. giving avacyn pro-creatures seems really funny.

Academy Rector might be good for getting free enchantments, especially if any are high cost. as a nice bonus, it is a good block choicce, and it can be killed by flipping avacyn, which might be what you want to do with it.

Murder Investigation could be a backup for if avacyn gets killed off at some point. at the very least, it gives you a nice army to chump block with while avacyn gets over her summoning sickness.

well, thats about everything I can think of for this deck. some of it (especially the early suggestions) probably wont work out in a fast meta as they are kinda slow, but if you get into a more casual meta, they could seriously buff the deck. awesome idea, too. definitely gets a +1

also, I dont really know the EDH ban list too well, so I might have reccomended a bunch of banned cards by accident. oh well.
