Sideboard


This is a modification of a popular mono-Red, standard legal deck. The fast pace of the hasted creatures combined with the Burning- Tree Emissaries and unleashed Rakdos cards help to put you in control with an early swarm of creatures. The limited burn can be flexible, either removing pesky creatures so that you can begin your assault, or they can be used to target a player if you have a Phoenix in the graveyard. The coup de gras is the Stormbreath Dragon, the most expensive card in the deck. To begin, as a 4/4 it is the only creature out of bolt range. It continues to give with haste, its ability to fly and protection from white (no cheap oblivion ring is getting rid of this guy). Should the game go on long enough (it shouldn't), you can activate monstrosity to get a 7/7 and hose any control decks you may be facing.

The Sideboard consists of answers to decks that play against RDW. The Ratchet Bomb is your all purpose board sweep/spot removal that I like to use vs Planeswalkers/Enchantments. Anger of the Gods stops token decks in their tracks if you lose board control, and won't kill the main deck Stormbreath OR the Purphoros (who can make those creatures cards that have been bounced to your hand or drawn late into sorcery speed shocks).
