Aggro deck benchmark
Standard Deck Help forum

How many turns to pumping out 20 damage makes a good aggro deck?
I tend to be able to dish out 20 in 5-6 turns with my current deck (I realize this is play testing in a vacuum - there is no opponent). How does that compare with other aggro decks in the current standard?
TIA.

Haha, yes it is!
Let's hope it can hold its own against other decks out there!
Feel free to +1 me if you like it, and I'm very open to suggestions on improving the deck!
Thanks!

How do those red/black vamp decks win in less than 5 rounds?

My monowhite humans can hit 20+ on turn 4 sometimes (in a vacuum), which is pretty good in standard. Even my Modern Gobins deck goes for the t4 benchmark, albeit a bit more robustly than soi humans.

Korombos, do you have a link to that deck? I'd like to check it out.
I've turned round 4 wins in with my deck, but 5 is much more common.

There are 2 basic t4 scenarios I hit with this one. First senario: t1 2/1 (20 life), t2 2 more 2/1's (18 life), t3 another 1-drop and Thalia's Lieutenant (9 life), t4 12 damage on board 3x 3/2, at least a 2/2, and a 1/1 lieutenant.
The other scenario involves a t3 Knight of the White Orchid getting me to 4 lands on t3.
Having 11 2/1's in this deck's key. Getting a Thalia's Lieutenant or an Always Watching on a gang of those is quick & deadly. Unfortunately, red has many ways to fry them before they get too scary.
Mod Gob Piledrivers and bushwhackers combine for some explosive turns with this deck. I don't have any t4 ideal scenarios planned out with this one, I just remember a few times counting up 27 damage or so on an all-out early swing, surprising both myself and my opponent.

What deck are you playing? T5-T6 is good for a Sylvan Advocate green based aggro deck, but a turn or two too slow for a Falkenrath Gorger red/black aggro deck.
