This wonderful pile of stupid cards is a mono-red standard aggro deck, a concept that has existed ever since Neanderthal man tapped out for a turn one bolt. The thing that sets this apart from (most) previous incarnations of the deck is that it actually has some card engines and card draw, making it capable of playing on after your opponent says "wrath" on turn four. This fabled card advantage comes in the form of Risk Factor and Experimental Frenzy, both acting as decent card draw and actually working well together on top of that. Other than those, it's old ideas in new clothing: drop creatures, swing face, win games. Have fun. Your opponents certainly won't.

The deck loses a lot of cards with the rotation, primarily Hazoret the Fervent and Bomat Courier. Bomat was valuable as a card engine, with Risk Factor and Experimental Frenzy taking its place to a degree, but Hazoret is a card that doesn't currently have a real replacement in terms of being overpowered, meaning that until the cult of Rakdos (hopefully) delivers us next set, a gaping hole is left.

On the other hand, the deck has some lovely new murder-tools in the form of Legion Warboss of the endless tokens (which bears a certain resemblance to red's old friend Goblin Rabblemaster) and Goblin Banneret, a little munchkin that can pump his fellows with mentor and has firebreathing. Coupled with the obligatory four copies of Goblin Chainwhirler, three of and two Torch Couriers, Goblin Trashmaster becomes surprisingly good and makes an appearance as a two of.

Please be aware that this deck is currently being refined quite a bit and is a long way from perfect. Suggestions are great, all of that stuff. I'm also working on a Boros aggro deck (though it isn't on Tappedout yet) that works in a somewhat similar manner to this deck, but sometimes plays a Tajic, Legion's Edge on turn three and has Aurelia and extra combat steps. They're pretty different, actually.
