The tokens won't overwhelm you but Render Silent will. I have enough counters to buy time. Plus out Aurelias will have a fun battle.

@mrbloo1848

Thanks for the insight. I think I'll fiddle around with a fourth Warleader's Helix in the attempt to simply have greater burn power.

@ Prevailed your deck would really do poorly in a match up should this deck have the first go. Without any burn spells, or even adequate bounce you have no answer to a lot of the creatures in this deck. Boros Reckoner and Blood Baron of Vizkopa chiefly among them. Relying purely on counter spells is costly as this deck has a lot of ways to draw those spells out and then sneak in the true threats, also, you deck only has 22 lands, this creates a situation where you may or may not have mana to cast those spells.

22 is what percentage of 60. About 37% I have a huge odd of lands, if not, Chromatic Lantern will help. Plus Kalonian Power Train is the deck I am working on, the one I would be worried about.

I'm just saying that all of those creatures you plan on pumping with those cheap spells technically cost at least 5 mana. This means that you absolutely need to hit every single land drop (even more so if you don't hit a lantern). Most aggro decks are designed to kill by turns 4-5 and you don't pack any board wipes in the event that you don't draw into your counterspells OR more likely in the event that you don't draw into the color you need to cast those counterspells, since both of them require very specific combination of colors and you run only 8 dual lands in a 3-color deck. You also have no removal (other than the two Azorius Charm ) once the creature does hit the field so you may have a hard time dealing with a board that's a turn ahead.

I've tested on MTGO, Cockatrice and Tappedout. I always hit a mana drop and/or get a lantern. My aggro kills by turn 5 with a 10-30/10-30.

EPIC DECK. I love to run R/B/W decks because of the kick ass cards, mainly the ones you run in your deck. Sadly i don't have most of the cards or money I need to make a deck similar to this. Check out my deck The Aristocrats (OVER 9000) and give pointers please. My deck will become modern after rotation so...+1 dude

How do you feel about High Priest of Penance ? It's a solid 2 drop that shuts down aggro decks

I have enough removals to help deal with the first few creatures before I play mine. Also, this deck is rotating next week :)

I know :p I'm working on a Chavest deck as well. Mine is for post rotation. Chavest Midrange (Post Rotation)

I'm working on a post-rotation version as well. It is currently in prototype stage but the first draft will be posted here :)

This is where I am at in relation to the Theros Rotations: Dega Divine (Post Rotation) Thoughts, ideas, critique, feedback, etc?

I can't wait to see what you come up with for Rotation.
