Sideboard

Enchantment (4)

Instant (2)

Sorcery (3)


My local games shop alternates fnms between drafts and block constructed nights, so I wanted to make a quick build for the next one and test it out.

I do have a Samut and various other things from green, but for the sake of efficiency I want to keep the deck mono-red.

The aim of the deck is to make it difficult for the opponent to block swings, using effects such as Ahn-Crop Crasher 's, Glorybringer's, Menace, etc. all while using the discard and draw mechanics to get whatever you want from the deck as quickly as possible.

At the moment, my main concerns regard the fragility of Combat Celebrant - so I might need to add the Cartouches or Bloodlust Inciters in to set him up with haste and swing (but what would I take out to make space for them?) - and the place that Neheb, the Eternal has in this deck. It's a great card, and afflict is great, but do I really need the mana effect? Or should I opt for 2 more Insult/Injury ?

Any advice is totally welcome. Thank you in advance.

EDIT: I don't have Hazoret yet, and I don't need Neheb, so I played 4 Cartouche of Zeal instead. The deck is quick, I can manipulate my hand in many ways, kill off annoying things with my instants, and Combat Celebrant makes me hit like a truck on cocaine. With the Cartouches, I can also make an extra creature not block for the whole turn. TLDR; -2 Hazoret -2 Neheb, +4 Cartouche of Zeal .

EDIT x 2 : I've been playing with a couple of block constructed decks and I've noticed that the Battlefield Scavenger just isn't that useful. Fling isn't either, and deserts are pretty cool, so I've added 4x Ramunap Ruins , 2x Desert of the Fervent , and 2x Sunscorched Desert . Fling x2 is going to be leaving for 2 more Ahn-Crop Crasher . I'm currently thinking of replacing 1x Tormenting Voice and all 3 of the Battlefield Scavenger for 2x Burning-Fist Minotaur and 2x Mountain, because I need more lands to be able to play Glorybringer more consistently. This way, I have a much better 2-drop that can buff itself and has first strike. An alternative to Burning-Fist Minotaur would be Soul-Scar Mage , a good 1 drop that can take advantage of my burn spells. The Desert of the Fervent is something that can be cycled in case I need it, and 2x Tormenting Voice are still in the deck, so I still have 5 cards that help with discarding and pumping up our good old Flameblade Adept . Yesterday was a draft FNM, so I'll get to properly test my deck in the coming one.

So, this deck's first FNM was spectacular. I won all 3 games by winning 6 matches and losing only one (mullied to 5, only had 1 land all game).

What I did before the FNM was actually acquire 3 Soul-Scar Mage to put into the mainboard. I removed 1 Flameblade Adept and both the Tormenting Voice , as I felt that I needed more aggro potential, and to be able to put -1/-1 counters on big threats, or to kill gods.

I feel no need to change the deck as it is at the moment, but I would appreciate finding a Hazoret or something like that.

I faced an Approach of the Second Sun deck in the second round, so I simply switched out my Magma Spray for 4x Trial of Zeal , just to be able to burn the poor guy's face off. He had an extremely low amount of creatures, and often went entire games without even playing one, so face burning turned out to be the right choice.

No other sideboard swapping was made.

The other decks I faced included a Sultai cycling deck and a Green Black midrange with Hapatra. I went 2-1 against the latter, as I only had 1 land during the first match against him. Facerolled the second match, and had more deck trouble on the third, but still managed to beat him with Combat Celebrant and Earthshaker Khenra on the field. That last card is the true MVP.

Tfw you find no good cards in your 4 prize boosters :') at least the Fatal Push promo is good.
