If I were going to play a Weenie red deck in a block tournament, here's what I'd play. The sideboard is up in arms, the only card I'm 100% on is Eidolon of the Great Revel. You want 4 copies of that bad boy in the relevant match-ups.

RDW

Hi all, I don't know if anyone wants to think about Block Constructed till all the cards are out, but I like to get a feel for the format. Especially this year, as GP Manchester is coming to England! Anyway, let's get to the mountains...

[deck]Theros Block RDW[/deck]

This is very much budget at the moment, as I don't have the cards on MTGO. I don't really know how this deck becomes not budget actually, as it probably doesn't want any Stormbreath Dragon. I'll be testing a Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx and a [card=Purphoros]Purphoros, god of the forge[/card:
26r1e4vw] in the near future, they both seem like pretty natural inclusions.

We all know where Firedrinker satyr is good and bad by now, and I'm a big fan of attacking through sylvan Caryatid.

I'm not sold on Akroan Crusader, but it does a nice [card=YP$]Young pyromancer[/card] impression sometimes.

I tried Nyxborn Rollicker, but it didn't seem better than Dragon Mantle in like, any scenario?

Lightning Strike Searing Blood yada yada, sometimes I want Magma Jet, but haven't tested enough yet to differentiate.

I'm not sold on Arena Athlete, and I don't think I've got enough Heroic enablers for him to be decent.

Everflame Eidolon is the real
freaking deal. So good. It's like a Stonewright/Pyreheart Wolf hybrid, you kill the enchanted creature and it comes back to take more chunks out of you. I'm sure this is just a general Firebreathing thing, but I've been putting everything into my 'breathers against removal light decks/tapped out opponents and it's been great.

Archetype of Aggression might look a bit strange, but it's obviously great with Firebreathing. In theory it should also let Crusader tokens chump all day, but this hasn't come up yet. The 3rd point of power goes a long way, and I like the two red symbols in the cost for Fanatic of Mogis.

Fanatic is pretty sweet with Hammer of Purphoros out, but I'm not sure either card is what this deck wants. I could see losing these and going more AIR.

Anyway, no one wants my unproven nonsense, so here's some MTGO
decks;
