Here's my take on Skred Red.

The thing is that this deck is pretty interesting to play and with aggro decks most likely to make a resurgence, why not go with control at the end of a bolt?

The issue with the deck I found was that it has a hard time dealing with a lot of threats and a card like faithless looting didn't do enough when you really do need to draw 2 cards rather than pay on an installment plan, so I went with Tormenting Voice over it. Also, it pitches Demigods, which can clog up the hand badly.

I found that I do need a few ways to deal with enchantments and artifacts as well, so I decided to have wear // tear just in case.

With so many BGx decks to be running around soon, I think this could do reasonably well with a T3 blood moon off of a simian spirit guide vs most decks.

There's a lot to improve still and obviously I think that if this is going to be a control deck, it better not be exiling its threats, so I might have to change a few things in the long run, like stormbreath dragon over the demigods (especially vs. path to exile, this deck is very weak), which will give me better late game so I can run Scrying Sheets. Right now, the mana is too demanding with the Demigod to run something that doesn't produce red mana.

Let me know your thoughts on the deck!
