As part of the new nostalgia-infused premodern starter deck series, this will be the hyper-aggressive red component of the mono-colored lineup. I can't take credit for this concept, as WotC has designed their free "Welcome Decks" using some of the same strategies I've employed here.
As it should be, this red menace will bring fast creatures and burn spells to the battlefield, with a minimal array of disruptive spells to work with. Despite it's low-lying aggressive nature, the curve may top out with my favorite dragon of all time, the Shivan Dragon at a whopping 4RR. As inspiration I borrowed heavily from the first Sligh deck from back in 1996, so it works on the same principles, just much slower.
As always, the price point on the deck is one of the major brewing factors, and as such, the power level of the cards has been reduced to meet it (or) the cards found in the brew are existing ones that I already had lying around, and are still not overly powerful.
The final stipulation that I wanted to build around was each card in this mini 30-card deck could only appear as a singleton. I've gone with with approach because I love to foster games that feel different each time you play, which can do a lot to make new players excited about the format. Lastly, the fact that the deck remains only 30 cards keeps it easy to shuffle for younger, "learning how to shuffle" hands.
