Keranos, God of Storms could cash in on all that devotion and add some extra draw/burn potential for use against opponents that utilize lifegain/fog to nerf all that unblockable damage.

That card is legit! I definitely don't think I need 4 Noggle Hedge-Mages so throwing two of those in would be pretty awesome. Another win-con. But usually the game doesn't last that long with a Clout of the Dominus on Riverfall Mimic. 5/5 unblockable with ez triggers. I think so.

I'd find something to replace Magefire Wings and Ordeal of Thassa since they're most likely going to get you 2-for-1'd with one removal spell by your opponent. Maybe more Electrolyze, also you might be able to use Tibor and Lumia as a 1-of but it's a little high on your curve. +1

Yeah I get what you mean. Magefire Wings is just there as another cheap trigger for Riverfall Mimic and Shrewd Hatchling. More Electrolyze I think is definitely a good idea. I might just go more cheap creatures like Nivmagus Elemental or Blistercoil Weird. Less enchantments more instants or sorceries. I could also go something like Swerve for some protection against said removal. Also if i have a Clout of the Dominus I don't have to worry about it anyway :D

Fun deck, +1 !
Have you considered Spellheart Chimera ?
Also, in a non-budget version, 4 Scalding Tarns are a must.

Hey thank you! Spellheart Chimera would be another nice addition. It would be amplified with what electromancer said with taking out the enchantments. And yeah I'm just not so sure about scalding tarn honestly. So much of the deck is red or blue so I don't need much mana fixing. And idk how much I want to spend 60 bucks a pop on them with rumors of them being reprinted in October with New Zendikar. But yeah eventually I'll get some for the deck.

I love the 13 cards by turn 4 combo to win.
Please move Nivix Cyclops and Teleportal to the main deck, they work so well together. There are already some great suggestions, like Spellheart Chimera. I would say cut down on the enchantments, they don't really work well in modern unless your a hexproof aura deck. Instead focus on instants and sorcery's with creatures that have triggered effects.Catch / Release might not be to back, Counterflux is very modern playable and I am a big fan of Dragonshift and Stitch in Time and Odds/Ends.
Mindswipe could be a counter/burn spell, though you may be better off with strick counters like Rune Snag or burn with Lightning Bolt

It's only 11 cards by turn 4 to win which is completely viable :P Like I said the stars have to align. Turn 5 wins are much more common and reliable with the unblockables. And I just don't want this deck to turn into any other R/U deck. Usually the enchantments will only be put on with an immediate follow up of Clout of the Dominus giving shroud. Thanks for the comments!

Unfortunately there are not that many cheaper R/U spells that would go well here. I do like Odds/Ends and Catch / Release. Gitaxian Probe doesn't proc Riverfall Mimic since it's not blue AND red :/

I think I'll have to sideboard it. It really fits the theme and helps cycle through the deck. Thanks for the suggestion!

In your description, on turn 3, I believe Riverfall Mimic attacks as a 6/6, then down the road, on turn 4 he's a 7/7 not a 7/5, Ordeal of Thassa puts 1/1 counters on the creature :)
Hilariously fun looking deck! +1 :D
July 15, 2015 5:26 p.m.
Oh yeah! That is true! And thank you. I love the creatures in the deck and the whole feel of everything. c:

Nice deck and creatures. I just coded the main creature cards to be able to play this deck on dotp 2014. Now they are available in the community wad. =)

+1 and just playtesting around do you also find it risky to Keep a one Hand land with this deck? It is just so appealing if you draw them off the top.

Love this deck, fast and effective. Not too hard on the wallet either. Went 3 for 3 in my first time using it.
