MDU's Rx Builds
I was thinking about going the Grixis route earlier for Jace and other support cards but was unsure if the mana was good enough. Hell, I barely feel good with the mana for these 2 color red/x decks. Still I would like to see what you've cooked up. Draconic Roar:I don't know about you but the way I p...

MDU's Rx Builds
Nice~ I'm really bias toward the Dragon+Roar Combo so I would just cut the Dragons from your list and add more lands (+2) and GDD (+2) - that said I havn't done any testing so I don't know if that is good or not. My problem with Draconic Roar was just inconsistencies. When it hits both the creature...

I think you might be right with the card draw route. A lot of the times I'm always siding in an extra or two Tormenting Voice. Just feels like having more gas helps a bunch. That and adding a one of or even two of read the bones might be ideal. I will make the changes this week and see how it goes. ...

Good to see some action in this thread. I know that standard is really bad for red right now so i appreciate the work going into this.

Story time. I came here during the RtR block from the MTGS forums. At that time my goal was to get back into standard win a bunch of FNMs and to collect all of the shock lands.

Agree with the Flamespeaker, for most the time, he isn't that great. Dies to removal is a problem with this guy. And when he's not dead, he will get chumped by any of their massive walls. And even when he lives and hits, his ability doesnt help end the game quicker than the Rabblemaster can. I see m...

What do you think a RB mana base should look like? I don't own any Mana Confluence, how necessary are those? I've tried 21-23 lands and it's always felt best running 22 (in a list curving up to a couple 4-drops). I seem to rarely mulligan with this configuration, and the 8 scry (4 temple/4 jet) hel...

Very nice results! Using the Foundry Street Denizen is nice, upping the 1 drops to a total of 10 really increases of getting something in the opening hand. And by keeping the deck mono red you are able to play some Mutavaults.And having a first striker must be really nice against those pesky Paladin...
