Sideboard


This is an attempt at a competitive mono-red deck for Standard that is heavily insulated from next rotation Fall 2016. Interactions:

  • T2 Skin Invasion on Insolent Neonate, sac Neonate, discard a Fiery Temper
  • Skin Invasion on Bloodmad or Ravenous Vampire and swing with top-heavy stats.
  • Buff those 3/1 trampling elementals (Akoum Stonewaker), which allow you to still apply pressure with land draws after you blasted your hand to the board.
  • Axe and Tormenting Thoughts to enable madness

Mana considerations:[19] vs. (20) mountains for Trampire

2 lands by turn 2: [79.57%] (82.42%)

3 lands by turn 3: [59.34%] (63.78%)

If I only have 2 lands after draw on turn 3, I think there's a 75% I will have some sort of acceleration after draw on T3 (either the neonate OR Tormenting Voice [eight spells, needing one of them])

If it is a Neonate and I sac to draw, there's a little over a [68.01%] (72.24%) chance I'll have 3 lands on the board by end of turn 3

If it is Tormenting Voice, there's a little over a (79.22%) [75.38%] chance I'll have 3 lands on the board by end of turn 3

NOTE: little over due to the higher population of lands in the deck than on the board or in my hand.

Added one Abbott and the Titan's Strength scry ability make me comfortable with 19 lands. If I went 20 lands I may take the Abbott out.

Akoum Stonewakers way too slow. Either winning or losing by the 4th land drop.
