Thanks. I'm probably going to change the sideboard significantly. The goblin diplomats are for slower decks to clear out any blockers. The Shred-freaks... Well, I don't really know why I put those there. The Firedancer is for other fast aggro build so I can ping off any potential creatures. This may not be the greatest place for it but I like the card. I'll probably switch it out for a couple of mountains and put a playset of fanatics in place of shred-freaks.

Yeah. Fanatics are definitely really good. You should add some Mizzium Mortars and Pithing Needle to the side board. Those are pretty essential sideboard cards depending on your meta. I don't particularly like the Satyrs. But they aren't too bad. If you replace anything for Fantatics, I would choose them though.

Also, I plan on keeping the loyalists in as they are an amazing topdeck with one or two thunderous mights out.

Oh, and Thunderous Might. I'm glad to see that you put those in. They're fantastic. Searing Blood is another card that you might consider.

Oooh, Mizzium Mortars is definitely a good idea. Same for pithing needle. Thanks!

Yeah. Loyalists can be good. But I just find that their battalion ability isn't one that is too relevant in an aggro deck like this one. Then again, it's all based on preference.

No problem, man. I've been running RDW for a few months now and it's definitely a ton of fun to play. I just wish that there was more room for cards. There are so many different options.

Yeah... I generally side them out first, but they're a good one-drop and it's oh so satisfy to be able to attack someone before they've even played a land. Not necessarily strategically competent, but fun.

I love me a fast red aggro deck. Madcap skills and thunderous might together is nasty. I know I had to deal with it. I personally feel loyalist is a must for speedy aggro decks. But like the poster said its all about preference. +1

Thanks for the +1 :D
I added in Madcap Skills
and it's hella good.
Always glad to see another red aggro fan.

+4 Chandra's Phoenix -4 Cryptborn Horror
+4 Firefist Striker-4 Gore-House Chainwalker
-4 Legion Loyalist+4 Madcap SkillsI'm also curious about that sideboard. Any reasons for those cards? I see why Skullcrack is there, but I'm not sure about the others. But this should help some.
