Yeah, he was in the newest update when Amonkhet was spoiled. He's generally too slow and I need to play Fevered Visions and then play reactively and I don't really want to play something I can't consistently attack with. That's why I like Enigma Drake and Cryptic Serpent. Two large creatures for two or three mana.

Nice
Bedlam Reveler is just better than the Serpent. Plus it refuels your hand and has prowess

Bedlam Reveler forces you to discard your hand, which makes it very punishing to draw in multiples. As for Prowess, the Serpent already starts as a 6/5, so you'd need to cast three spells in a turn just to match its power. I kinda like the idea of running 1-2 Revelers and then 3-4 Serpents. If those compose most of your creature package, then it's fine to go deep on them.

I would highly recommend adding two dynavolt tower to this deck as it would work beautifully with glimmer of genius and harnessed lightning as well as enabling some aether hubs to get some love.

I've tried Dynavolt Tower but I just don't like it. It costs three so it fights with Fevered Visions which is just a better card. And back to the conversation with BlaineTog and rjphilla, Blaine killed it with his explanation of Cryptic Serpent over Bedlam Reveler. I just think two serpents is enough along Torrential Gearhulk.

How about Harsh Mentor? I think it would add some pure, fearsome hatred in a 2mana cost. Along with the Fevered Visions, he may have really an impact.

He's in the sideboard. I don't want to load up on creatures and he can be dead weight in certain games and in games where he's useful, he dies to all the removal. If you think subbing him out will be better, let me know.

Why no playset of Gearhulks?Still looks like a solid listAre you playing this as your main standard deck?

Nice decent deck. I wanna ask you about Chandra, Torch of Defiance. How is she in this deck? From my prospective she doesn't add something broken to the deck apart from the extra value walkers add in general. Also how do you feel about the mono red aggro vampires in standard with bomat courier? I find it to be more consistent and can win out of nowhere.

I like Chandra because she can destroy a blocker, add mana for more action in a turn, or deal that last little bit of damage. Mono red could definitely be aggressive enough, I just like the versatility of adding black.

I love this and will be using it at gameday hopefully.

I appreciate your comment and I'm glad you like it.

A recommendation I say is As Foretold It could be very much worth the turns you put into it. And if that, sideboard for very agro decks would be the wrath Bontu's Last Reckoning

I think it costs too much against decks like Mardu but maybe for sideboard if we see a slower format.

Have you considered Yahenni's Expertise? While you don't necessarily hit much from the free cast, it's still a solid board wipe that could combo well.

Makes sense. Just wondering. What do you think about hour of glory?

You seem to draw a lot with this deck. Have you though about running Kefnet the Mindful? Visions might help keep your hand full enough, but I am not sure.
