Another hypothetical deck, this is intended to be a fairly straightforward aggro deck that uses a lot of Deathtouch to force disadvantageous trades. Additionally, I'm trying to stitch in some control, in the form of Fight spells like Prey Upon. Originally I had in things like Fling and Rupture, but then I noticed that they don't trigger Deathtouch, and I was sad. Fortunately, Chandra's Ignition does, and could really wreck some things if combined with Touch of Moonglove.

Though I started this years ago, it has recently been revamped to take advantage of the tons of strong Deathtouch creatures that have been released in the interim. There are basically no creatures from the original version that are still here. Red is here mostly for the spells -- particularly Chandra's Ignition, a sort of mega-Fight spell and the only one of its kind. I'd put in Red Deathtouch creatures... but there's only two of them, and both are conditional. Meanwhile, I have Nightshade Dryad (which is inferior to Sylvan Caryatid in basically any situation but this one) and Leyline Prowler to aid in the mana curve, to the point that I might have more multicolored lands than I need. Finally, once I was done I had 59 cards, so I threw in a single Vampire Nighthawk, which is tied with Leyline Prowler for "most universally valuable creature ever printed." There's basically never a moment when you regret casting either of them. (Cheaper than a darn Assassin's Trophy, too.)
