One drops
Deck Help forum
Posted on July 25, 2013, 4:19 p.m. by RoughRider19
I am playing a red white black aggro deck and am fairly satisfied with it except for one thing, I am lacking one drops. I am alright on mana and can usually win by turn six but I know I could win faster if I have more one mana creatures. Are there any suggestions I already use Rakdos Cackler and Grim Lavamancer Im appreciate to any and all ideas.

Goblin Guide is a very strong turn one play in an aggressive deck if you just want to get in damage hard and fast.
Stromkirk Noble takes longer to get going, but gives more inevitability.
Deathrite Shaman is one of the strongest one-drop cards ever printed. Since you're aggressive you can use it right away to ramp into gas, and then ping them for 2 over time by removing their instants and sorceries. A small splash of green lets you use her other ability in matchups that favor it.

Never overlook Legion Loyalist in the 1-drop slot. He hits your opponent for 1 the second he hits the board and First Strike and Trample for all of your creatures can turn a game around in your favour.

drakanar yes you are correct it is for modern and red is focused mainly on direct damage cards and I use black as a kill mechanism and as for white, well it supports the deck well and allows me to play some powerful multi colored cards, such as Obzedat, Ghost Council and no my deck is not human heavy (though that may have to change).

Goblin Guide is arguably the best Red creature ever printed. It hits for 2 on turn-1, which nothing else does.

For now I think I will use 4 Goblin Guide but I think I will use some other suggestions that were said for my side board or if I feel like a change.

Actually forget that last post, you don't have a zombie theme lol..forgot that part, a good add-on may be Pride Guardian because you probably will not want to use any of your other creatures as blockers.. all around great white one-drop

What theme is there for the aggro deck? Also, what format? As Grim Lavamancer is there, I'm assuming Modern. For Standard, for instance, if human-heavy, I would recommend Champion of the Parish . Otherwise, Stromkirk Noble is a good call.
