My years-long project at making a stable mono-red EDH deck. This deck has gone through many iterations, and this is the newest one combining the reliability of other iterations with value. Mono-Red is a challenge for playing EDH, and I was not interested in building a one-trick pony, but rather a generally robust deck that is relevant for all of my group's matchups. People are typically surprised at its performance!

Fun fact: I have a custom Wyrmwood deckbox for this deck with the inscription "BELLUM OMNIUM CONTRA OMNES".

Overall Strategy

The speed of ramping in this deck usually surprises people. With all the mana rocks I include in my build, this guarantees some play action and helps bring out Akroma well before T8.

Before Akroma comes out, it is prudent to try and establish some kind of board control with a timely sweeper. All is Dust for instance frequently hurts our opponents more than it hurts us due to the number of artifacts that we are popping out before committing to a threat.

Akroma, Angel of Fury is a looming threat for the entire game while she's in the command zone. She is difficult to work around outside of sacrifice effects (like Dictate of Erebos and a sac outlet) as she can't be countered and has protection from blue and white to boot. Her morph ability sometimes comes in handy in situations facing Nevermore or Ixidron so it's good to keep that in mind. Overall, this makes for a highly reliable win condition that will oftentimes stick at least for one round.
