Atarka Sligh

Atarka red won the first SCG open, a version with titan's strength become immense and temur battle rage. I think no one was expecting so many pump spells in atarka aggro, but going forward it will probably be better to switch to a more normal version.... titan's strength and 1-2 become immense are still playable i think.
I feel like there a lot of decision to be making when building red aggro currently. First of all, play mono red, atarka, or jund ?(self inflicted wound out of the board is a fantastic card). Then there is a lot of competition in the 2 mana and 3 mana slots. here are all the options i can remember:

- 1 mana : zurgo, swiftspear, berserker, glory chaser, titan's strength, scythe leopard, wild slash, fiery impulse
-2 mana: dragon fodder, abbot, makindi sliderunner, dragon whisperer, draconic roar, temur battle rage, atarka's command, roast, self inflicted wound, war name aspirant, boiling earth, forerunner of slaughter, hangarback walker, smash to smithereens
-3 mana: firecraft, chandra, flamewake phoenix, outburst, heelcutter, arc lightning, vaultbreaker, scab clan berserker, kolaghan's command
-4 mana: thunderbreak regent, outpost siege, akoum firebird, ashcloud phoenix,

I for sure missed some relevant sideboard cards, but i think it's quite a complete overview.
My instinct is to play atarka red maindeck then add 1-2 red/black duals in sideboard to go with 4 self inflicted wound and maybe kolaghans command and help you cast thunderbreak regent. Something like this

[deck]
4 Monastery Swiftspear
3 Zurgo, Bellstriker
3 Lightning Berserker
4 Dragon Fodder
4 Abbot of Keral Keep
4 Hordeling Outburst

4 Wild Slash
4 Titan's Strength
4 Atarka's Command
4 Exquisite Firecraft
1 Become Immense

4 Wooded Foothills
4 Bloodstained Mire
3 Cinder Glade
10 Mountain

1 Smoldering Marsh
4 Self-Inflicted Wound
3 Roast
2 Fiery Impulse
1 Boiling Earth
4 Thunderbreak Regent
[/deck]

Probably the manabase could need some tweaking. I am interested in hearing how would you change this deck/build something completely different.

Atarka Sligh

Wow, this is the second pro tour in a row won by this deck.
I'm quite surprised that basically no one is playing denizen/dragon fodder/outburst/rabblemaster anymore. I mean, I understand the power of abbot/firecraft, but i still think the tokens shell with atarka's command is powerful too.
By the way, which decklist you like more between these ? http://magic.wizards.com/en/events/cove ... 2015-08-02
