I've been Playing against my friends with this deck and I would recommend Better creature removal in the deck or at least the sideboard. What cards I would Recommend I haven't a clue but I'll keep looking.

Which Deck is it? the one with Molten nursery type effects i mean.

There is a decent amount of removal in the mainboard. K Command can get rid of mana dorks or threats with low toughness and Touch of the Void has great synergy with Processor Assault which has 3 slots in the sideboard. If you are requesting fattie (and planeswalker) removal then you would be right to ask for such, I am thinking of replacing Wild Slash with Ruinous Path

I hadn't considered Ruinous Path but yeah I was talking about fattie and Planeswalker Removal. I noticed you added Mortuary Mire to the deck in replacing the two swamps so I'll test that out and see how it affects the deck. Otherwise so far so good I really like this deck. +1 for sure.

I have tested Mortuary Mire about 10 times in this deck and it works out pretty well unless you having it in your opening hand, it slows you down at that point. I am still on the fence about it but will my meta be heavy in removal anyway I figure why not run it.

Molten Nursery fills that slot and has better synergy with this deck, plus it triggers off all spells not just creatures entering the battlefield.

After testing your deck before revision I too felt it was running really slow for an aggro deck. I look forward to play testing this new deck. If your interested I built a R/G aggro deck focused on Zada, Hedron Grinder I would love your suggestions on it.

I agree 100% with you wolfboy193, this deck was far too slow for my liking. I am contemplating dropping the devoid them for slots like Titan's Strength, Temur Battle Rage and Monastery Swiftspear, but at that point I might as well go for G/R landfall aggro. Much more testing is needed for sure.

I'd love to chat with you about this deck. I built a devoid burn deck from scratch, and then found yours online a day or 2 later. Our decks came out pretty similar but with some significant differences that i'd love to discuss.

Just out of curiousity, how useful have the Looming Spires been? I felt torn at the idea of using them for the reason that they come in tapped, and in a fast playing deck i figured the untapped land would be more useful than a +1/+1. But i could be over looking how useful it really is, so i'm just curious as to your opinion.

Flayer Drone see a good here. Almost a second molten nursery penned onto a 3/1 first strike

I don't think he has updated this deck since OGW. If you're interested in seeing my current Devoid Aggro with OGW included, here it is: Rakdos Devoid Aggro

Thank you TobyG, Flayer Drone was a great addition to this deck. As much as it pained me to get rid of the combo of Molten Nursery + Nettle Drone they were too often at times a dead draw. Now that OGW is out I can turn every slot towards a pure aggro base.

On that note, replacing Molten Nursery with Visions of Brutality turned out to be a good call, it gives me a way around massive/tricky creatures while providing a life threat to my opponent.

I feel like Mortuary Mire would be better than looming spires, that way if you lose a valuable creature you can get it back with a simple land drop.

I ran with both when I first switched the focus of this deck to aggro and my reasoning was much on par with yours. But what I found was it actually slowed this deck down. It does me no good when drawn early or if it's my only swamp producer and I have to play it first turn tapped, that puts me back a turn a possibly a game. Plus you don't really gain a creature so much as you lose a draw. Thats never a good option for aggro. Kolaghan's Command is a better yard fisher.

Looming Spires as value every time because the red is the supplement color not the primary so I don't have to worry about it coming into play tapped as often and first strike is a very underrated ability.

Reaver Drone might be better than sludge crawler.

I think Roast could fit somewhere here..

@SlurpeeeI had roast in the sideboard for a while but took it out mostly because i had little trouble dealing with flying opponents, and with roast not being colorless it didn't offer other benefits to the deck.

-Shiki- is correct, Siege Rhino is no longer the biggest threat in Standard. I replaced my sideboard Roasts with Ruinous Path. A clean sweep removal for everything including those pesky Gideons!

Woops. I didn't proof read my own comment. Lol but ninja got what i meant. Roast just wasn't a necessity, and there were better options.

I do not see Molten Nursery or Nettle drone in the build? Am I missing something?

albino_ninja says... #23

Very old build that was resurrected recently for a different format, sry for the confusion aplechaty lol I guess if I'm going to update it, I might as well do a thorough job.

aplechaty says... #24

Oh I liked Nettle Drone and Molten Nursery LOL. Can you post the old Build as well?
