Well goodbye Lightning Strike but it does feel like Atarka Tokens may be good enough even without it since Drown and Bile are rotating.

Thinking of what to cut alongside Titans Strength for the 22nd land and 4th Thunderbreak.
My instincts tell me to cut a Stoke as I dont really want to cut any of the early drops. Stoke is another expensive spell so I think cutting something on the higher end of the curve makes sense.
Usually dont want to see 2 Stokes early anyways.

Good fuckin job man!!! Way to get fucked up and kick some ass. I bet you won some serious coin.
Was really hating magic lately but this deck has me excited. I get to play with my set of gameday regents =)
Few questions-
How many rounds was the event? What did you play against?
Hows the matchup vs Hangarback abzan?

It is a bit slower but does have 11 drops.
Though the more I think about it wild slash is really good in the deck and in general right now.
What do you consider the best version of red right now to combat Abzan? I have a scg super IQ this weekend and always play 2-3 junk decks.
I was thinking atarka but the tokens are weak to the sweepers too and it seems hard to go wide against the GW aggro decks and GR devo.

What did you find it lacked against Abzan control?
Dragon whisperer certainly isnt great but Wild Slash sucks in the other decks too and this one isnt running Slash main.
I dont really see many of the other cards being poor in the matchup as the fliers seem good here too. Lightning Besereker still great. 1-drops still good.

Card was good for me in multiple matchups, mostly on the play. Was good in the mirror as well, just gotta wait for the right spot when your opp is very low on cards or tapped out. Also nice vs Abzan and Ux control decks.

Really? See I've always heard red described as the easiest deck to beat if you really want to. People hate losing to red and at least the people I test with are packing hate.
I will agree people skimp on red hate for Pro Tour consistently but other events I'm not so sure.
I agree that more often than not the deck loses to itself like hitting your first 6 or 7 land drops or stuck on 2 rather than bad game 1 matchup.
Sometimes if abzan control curves out into multiple rhinos they can win game 1. Though as a testament to the strength of this deck, I lost to it at Regionals but was in it till the end g3 on a mull to 5 and my opponent cast 7 rhinos that match and it was still close.
Maybe it's just that I prefer to play RDW when it's under the radar and not public enemy #1.

Heres the list I ran with for Regionals in Worcester MA, somewhere around 250 people , 9 rounds. I ended up 7-2.
I watched all the PT red deck coverage I could and tried to put together the Red Deck that had 3 7-0 players.
I was close but didnt see Titans Strength or Heelcutter before Sunday.

Round 1 WIN vs UB Thopter control- Mulled both games but won g2 by Searing Blooding an Ashiok-stolen Zurgo hehe. Sided out crappy burn for Chandra and Seige and Scab Clan.
Round 2 LOSS vs Abzan Control- Mulled each game here as well, going to 5 on game 3 and over the 3 games I was Rhino'd 7 times. Needless to say I lost.
Round 3 WIN vs Temur Aggro - Ended up keeping a 7 card one-lander with 3 one-drops and won desipite not hitting land till turn 4. Very easy matchup as he was playing multiple confluence and cards like Hier, Knuckle, Shaman of the Great Hunt etc.
Round 4 WIN vs Jeskai Tokens- Destroyed him g1 after double Swiftspear start into Searing Blood on both his Seekers. Sideboarded for regular jeskai after not seeing tokens cards aside from maybe seeker(prob should have understook Seeker=tokens). He got me game 2 since I still had my x/1's in but I was able to get in for 2 every turn game 3 and won slowly without taking a damage. Brought in a Scab Clan or two and Arch Lightning and Chandra.
Round 5 LOSS vs GR Devcotion- played a pretty bad player from my LGS actually. Mulled to 5 g1 and to 4 g2 and he had good draws where I had 1-2 early guys but he had multiple caryatid both games and stomped me. Actually got him to 8 on a mull to 4 keepign 3 land Wild Slash. Also had him to 5 in game 1 on a mull to 5 on the draw.
Round 6 WIN vs Mirror- Little tilted going into this one after 12 mulligans in the first 5 rounds. Both running at least 55 of 60 maindeck cards so close to mirror as it gets. I drew 3 Stoke right away game 1 and couldnt answer his flip Chandra and wrecked me. I won g2 easy then won a super close game 3 where I was able to get him dead from 10 when I was dead on board. Brought in Magma Sprays, Arc Lighting, Chandra and took out some 1 toughness guys.
Round 7 WIN vs GB Elves- Wow this was a joke. Flooded like crazy g2 but he was stuck on 2 land and had to keep Chording for 1 to find mystic which i kept drawing burn for while attacking him with a few guys. Eidolon and Searing Blood were the nuts. Chandra/Arc Lightning out of the board for my 1 toughness guys.
Round 8 WIN vs Temur Tokens/Burn - Played a kid I've played at a few eventsbefore so we were talking inbetween rounds so I knew basically what his 60 card deck was, he knew a little about my deck but not a ton. I knew it would be tough because he was running the full 8 token producers. Game 1 his tokens and Searing Blood got me good. G2 I win with 19 life where he didnt get many tokens and I got a few Searing Blood. Game 3 was incredibly close where I got a hit in with Scab Clan and was able to land a Chandra to hit his tokens. Still came down to where I was at 3 after he Commanded 2 tokens when I tapped out for Chandra and he was at 10. I was able to untap, draw a land to Strike, Firecraft and attack for 3 with Scab Clan to win it while he had another Command in hand to kill me but just 1 green the prior turn.
Round 9 WIN vs Abzan aggro- Another kid Im very familiar with and he is a very good player. Game 1 was close but I was on the play with 2 early creatures and just burned everything he played while bashing for 2-4 a turn. Game 2 he drew a million lands and it wasnt close.
Finished 17th since my breakers sucked and made the difference between 50$ and $100
Thoughts - Heelcutter would have been nice but Glory Seeker was very good and a great 1-drop in a burn deck that can clear the way for him. Abbot is insane but we knew that. Chandra is really good, could def see play in this deck. Titans Strength does seem like a good 1-of.

I think temur tokens could be legit. I've played the guy a few times in the past so we were talking throughout the day before we got paired so I knew his deck.
4 swift, the 8 token makers, all the burn and command and then 1-2 days undoing and 1 cruise.
Told me he never lost any games he resolved Days Undoing.
I think he said only 2 or 3 Shivan Reef to go with his confluence though.

9 rounds here too. 3-2 just lost to GR devo. Mulled to 5 g1 then 4 g2.
Up to 12 mulligans on 5 rounds of magic. I swear I'm cursed with little red decks.
Deck is insanely good though. Able to win the over half my games when I've mulled 12 times and my opponents combined mulliganed 2 times. Think I could easily be 5-0 if not for only keeping 2 seven card hands.

What was the temur deck like ? I played it and raped it but he was running heir, knuckle blade, shaman of great hunt and Stormbreath with a lot of painful mana.
Beat UB thopters, Temur aggro n jeskai tokens so far. Lost to Abzan control having 7 rhinos on the match n mull to 5 g3.

Interesting that as far as I can see, all the red decks at PT are pure red, not splashing for Command.
Are we overvaluing it?

Any clue on the lists or cards being played? Are they like our decks?

Hm I was thinking about running 3 Zurgo. What is the Last Sun qualifier? A decent enough event to put faith in the results?
I'm basically running 2 Dragon Fodder where the Chandra's parents were but maybe there's enough lower on the curve that Fodder is overkill and parents are better.

I wild slashed the mentor because my play was to draw protection spells out of his hands. I was on the stall with green hornets tokens so I didn't want him to be able to set up a lethal attack giving a mentor or seeker pro green.
The announcers messed up a bit, there was a dice on the mentor tokens that represented there two mentor tokens in play. So it looked like a double block from their perspective, but really it was abbot on one, Hornet on the other.
Ahhh gotcha.
Do you think its worth it to wait and Wild Slash on his turn? Maybe if you snap-pass post combat he goes for the Stike on your end step and you get to Wild Slash in reponse? If he doesnt and you cast it on his turn, he gets the pumps but I think you were blocking with hornet anyway. No way to know he has defiant strike though I guess so maybe it doesnt make sense.

Just watched your Heroic Match, pretty sweet your store does video matches.
Played well but a few questionable lines I thought.
Thought the play with Slash on Mentor when he had 1 confluence up was pretty risky as its a waste against legit any spell. Do you just want to get the protection spells out of his hand while you can? I'm not super familiar with the matchup but it just seems loose because theres such a good chance he has Ajanis, Willing or Strike. Is it the best play to just draw those cards out of his hand ?? I really have no clue so I'd love to hear your thoughts on that play as the deck is getting pretty popular.
That dude got so lucky keeping a 1 lander then drawing 3 in a row.
Also at the end, kinda a wierd double block on the token when he had no cards in hand and basically throwing away Abbot.
