I'm a very big fan of Red/Blue spell slingy decks and am really hoping to make a competitive deck using the surge mechanic. My biggest fear about this deck going forward is that it will become a bit too mono red-ish and I'll lose with no cards in hand. My other fear is that I'll struggle to get in with meaningful damage.
I tried to include plenty of card draw, or similar effects with cards like Abbot of Keral Keep, Anticipate, Jori En, Ruin Diver, and Slip Through Space.
Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh
is given plenty of opportunity to flip, and get damage in during the process. A combo I'll be found of is Chandra, Fire of Kaladesh
+
Slip Through Space
+
Titan's Strength
. Slip Through Space will make her unblockable, and attaching the Titan's Strength un-taps her and gives her that nice +3 damage. She can then tap again for 1 damage, flip, then +1 for 2 more damage. I suppose you could even Slip Through Space after the Titan's Strength to use the scry better if you stacked it properly at the right moment.
Zada, Hedron Grinder can help amp up the damage. I only have 2 because she is more of a turn 8 or 9 play than turn 4 in this deck.
Stormchaser Mage is going to be my Mantis Rider in this deck. It's job is to just be a good body and block or attack if the opportunity is there.
Containment Membrane, Fall of the Titans, and Overwhelming Denial are my removal in this deck. Fall of the Titans can also possibly be that little bit of damage that helps you win the game late.
At this moment, Containment Membrane is represented by Sphinx's Tutelage, and Faerie Miscreant is taking the place of Slip Through Space, because they aren't on the site yet.
