I've been working on an aggro deck that uses Blood Moon as pseudo card advantage by stalling your opponent. RDW and Goblin decks seem to run out of steam in this format, and abusing a 3 drop that can effectively stall the abundance of 2 and 3 color decks in this format seems a great way to combat this. Combine this with the theros card, Fanatic of Mogis , and you have a deck that can deal nice early and mid game damage. Using red's efficient removal and the haste mechanic combines to deal lethal damage somewhere between turn 4-5. Now there are decks in the format that can get around Blood Moon , but red has answers for these decks as well. Smash to Smithereens , Skullcrack , Stone Rain ,
Everlasting Torment
, and Relic of Progenitus provide a great core for a sideboard that is full of answers to different decks.
Now this is what I'm talking about...people just sit and do nothing on MTGO when I drop Blood Moon turn 3!!! Also having 4 mana and going Burning-Tree Emissary into Fanatic of Mogis turn 4 is BOMBASTIC!!! This deck is seriously fun to play, so many lines of play and they are all fantastic.
