Hey mate if you post these as decks on your wall it will be much easier for people to look over the list and aid you, also just for your future reference is you put a double square bracket in front and bechind a card name (square bracket is this [ for reference) then the card will get an image when you hover over it so linking [vexing devil] but with two brackets either side will show up like this Vexing Devil that also makes it easier for people to aid you and for yourself really :-) hope this has helped a little I am not that up on standard so i'm afraid i am not much use there

To be honest it looks like you have better cards for the werewolves so I would go with that one.

I would recommend the burn, add token-producing cards, and you can outrace them.

-- And if you make both the decks on your page you can playtest them at the same time against each other.

here, werewolves is the better deck. If you want to run mono red, invest in some shrine of burning rages, another devil, some more burn, and maybe chandra's pheonixs. While what mtg_player said is true about playtesting, playtesting two decks you want to play against each other does not give you the better deck. To pick which deck is better to run it is best to find out which decks see the most play at wherever you are going to play and then playtest against those types of decks.

The first question you need to ask yourself is "What is the meta-game going to be at this event?"

Having even a little idea about what decks are popular in the area can give you enough infomation to answer the next question you need to ask yourself, "Which of these decks performs the best in this meta-game?"

By answering both these questions in order you know what to test your decks against and can see which is the best choice for that event.

Without Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip , your deck just lost a lot of power. He really makes Werewolf/Wolf decks playable. Without him, you're just playing a bad R/G Aggro.
