Trying to make Red/Black Land destruction work.

Deck Help forum

Well I've been trying to get my land destruction deck working, but I'm hitting a ramp time snag. No home land... Once I get rolling I can wreck people, the issue is if they knock my mana base out, or start countering my creatures, I get sunk deep too quick. I'm avoiding going green, so any insights would be greatly appreciated.

Some early discard effects could help eliminate their biggest threats until you can start wrecking their lands. Duress , Drainpipe Vermin , Corpse Traders , Gruesome Discovery , Mind Rot , and Ravenous Rats are all in standard.

Yeah I tried to work blue into the deck early on to mill as an additional way to burn land, but working in things like Duress , Corpse Traders , and Mind Rot will be more effective stopping other players from ramping up before I get set up. Thanks man, was some helpful advice.

Well like I said in the OP I'm avoiding going green, cooky cutter G/B or G/W land destruction doesn't really tickle my fancy.
