Removal, lifegain, big dudes, burn, what else do I need?This deck was originally Warrior Tribal, until I made a major overhaul, and here we are! Here is the breakdown
Butcher of the Horde
- He is my primary win con in this deck. With all the tokens that this deck generates, along with Bloodsoaked Champion, I can be gaining life, setting up a blocker, or haste him.
Brutal Hordechief- As soon as I saw this dude, I went crazy. He has the potential to end games early, plus set up a lethal attack
Monastery Swiftspear- No deck using red is complete without using this dude. He get big fast with the multiple non-creature spells in the deck. If I have to, I can throw him under the
Butcher of the Horde
bus.
Seeker of the Way
- When I saw this dude at first, I was like, "Meh, its just a bear with good abilities." When I started using him, HOLY CRAP! He gains me so much life.
Other Spells
Hero's Downfall- I finally got my hands on a playset, and it payed off. I like having the ability to cast it at instant speed.
Crackling Doom- Possibly, if not the most broken card in this deck. This can get past gods, hexproof creatures, and giant dudes.
Lightning Strike- More removal and burn, but mainly for prowess triggers.
Magma Jet- I also use this for more weenie removal, but the scry is AMAZING, especially with a deck with no draw spells whatsoever.
In my games I have had, Raise the Alarm doesn't do a whole bunch. I like it, but I don't use it enough that the tokens are a real use to me. Raise the Alarm gets the boot. As for the replacers, Hero's Downfall is too good not to have 4, so I got my hands on one more to chuck in. I also added a fourth Magma Jet and Lightning Strike mainly because they are strictly better than Raise the Alarm in the long run. I am also thinking about throwing out a Brutal Hordechief for a fourth Butcher of the Horde. Let me know what you think!
