Sideboard


I'll give a break down for everyone

This is a competitive deck. It is excessively fast and will deal a lot of damage. You might be wondering why I'm not playing Legion Warboss main board or maybe even more The Flame of Keld since I have such a low curve. My response to you is, I did play The Flame of Keld at a 4 count at one point, but more often than not it was a dead card, as 1, if I draw it I can hold on to it and wait till the opportune time to play it. Legion Warboss is an amazing aggro card but it isn't this type of aggro. If you look around you'll find aggro decks with higher curves and better payoff cards. In this aggro deck we are looking to spam out as fast as possible and there just isn't room for a mainboard Warboss. So now you're probably asking, why Rekindling Phoenix, well kids that's my payoff card. If it sticks you've got a 4/3 flyer that is super hard to get rid of, and I mean reeaaally hard.

So, satisfied? No? Then comment!

Breakdown:

Fanatical Firebrand: 1 drop for a haster that can blow up llanowar elves or other teeny creatures as well as a late game ping to the opponents face for the win, sign me up!

Ghitu Lavarunner: An Interesting play but as a 1 drop that gets better later in the game it's a win. cheap red creatures are great for bumping up Runaway Steam-Kin, and that's exactly what this man is. Plus he's basically a Goblin Guide with no downside.

Runaway Steam-Kin: This card is bonkers, in this deck it can get huge, and then blow itself up to get bigger, the cycle of life. Unfortunately this little guy dies a lot of the time since everyone is so afraid of him, aw man. That's OK though, in the grand scheme of things he isn't our most important creature and I'd rather him die than a Rekindling Phoenix

Viashino Pyromancer: Interesting play? Maybe. But hear me out. A 2/1 for 2 is already pretty decenty, but then you can ping the opponent or dent a planeswalker? Yes sir! Late game he'll kill a low opponent as well, oh my.

Goblin Chainwhirler: I love this card. A sort of board wipe and he hits the opponent. Not to mention he's a 3/3 with FIRST STRIKE for 3. Bonkers! There's a reason he's so widely played in the red format. Rekindling Phoenix: The payoff, the finisher, the meats. A 4 mana 4/3, yes please, flying? Oh yeah, can come back from the dead? MMMM I want some more! Another must answer or die, he will murder the enemy into oblivion.\

Experimental Frenzy: Time for some fuel. This is why I don't need more than 1 The Flame of Keld. This bad boy generates insane value, having you play up to maybe 4 or more cards a turn, with a Runaway Steam-Kin, oh boy, even more cards. This card tramples control, overwhelming them with sheer card advantage.

The Flame of Keld: A good card for some card draw, and when it hits 3 lore counters your in for some trouble, but we really don't need that many since it isn't our main game plan.

Shock: 1 mana 2 damage, need I say more?

Lightning Strike: 2 mana 3 damage, again need I say more?

Wizard's Lightning: 3 mana 3 damage, meh, but 1 mana 3 damage... wait a minute that's a Lighting Bolt! We run 8 wizards so you have a pretty good chance of bolting your opponent.

Risk Factor: Last but not least, this. More often than not your opponent will take 4 damage, which is fine. But then you turn around and play it with JUMP-START!! Holy crap a 2 for 1! When you're playing this card they normally can't afford to take the damage, and you'll get 3 cards, yes! Annnd probably some more burn, and then you'll kill them anyway, yes please. Bonkers.

That's all I've got, this deck is amazing, it works, and it's pretty cheap. Have Fun!
