Remember, red aggro won the SCG Open just last week. And the scg event before that one and the scg event before that one. Meanwhile straight monoB devotion and straight UW control were the only decks in the DC gp top 8. Me is just thinking that scg events are flooded with people playing JUST FOR FU...

Shrine also has versatility. Not only does it signal to the control player that the end is nigh, it can also be used to kill pro-red things or just really big creatures. It adds inevitability to the deck. It has perfect synergy with the deck. While you are exhausting your resources to control the b...

Magus is in the MD for testing but It might be better to run 4 VD in the MD and 3 MotM (or 2 Blood Moon / 1 Shattering Spree) in the SB. Vexing Devil always feels great when you cast multiples back to back, or on consecutive turns. Seems to me that 4 or 0 is the right number MD. What are your thoug...

You play Molten Rain, Shrine, and Mogg Fanatic to beat the bogeymen when you don't hit the nuts and win on turn 4. I get what you are saying, and I think I actually fall on this side of the argument (Molten Rain = Tempo + Screw), but surely if we didn't play these cards we get the nuts more often. ...

Play keldon megaliths. You haven't lived until you've killed 4 lingering souls tokens. And Magus of the moon is definitely a card I want to try in the future. I think I'd want a deck with 22 lands, for that and possibly flame javelin to compensate for a lower spell density. Megaliths hits creatures...

Yeah, I gave it more thought and came to realizations. Conley Woods sums it up nicely in one of his videos. The two-drop slot was annoying me during deck construction, and Pack Rat is a good creature right? I like the idea of binning Cacklers etc. later on, but it's too slow. I've played with Underw...

The beauty of this deck? So many interchangeable parts. Not bragging, but a lot of this is familiar territory for me. I've rocked almost every iteration of RDW in Modern imaginable since pre-RTR. It really was missing one key element: the Eidolon. I've been saying it for over a year. Although to He...

Ok cool, some follow-up questions; 1. Are playsets of both Zombie and Specter accepted in the 75? 2. SB Connections out against non-control decks? 3. A lot of lists run (ran?) 2 Drown in Sorrow, necessary? 4. Is Whip good anywhere else, grindy match-ups? 5. I really am not fond of Bile Blight atm, a...

Seems like a cool list. With regards to the mana, you include all of the dorks as well, not just land, so it seems your mana is fine? You say Time of Need fetches Nykthos, but it only fetches creatures. I like this deck. It's obviously combo-riffic, but sometimes you get a turn 3 titan and win like ...

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. Creature (23) 4x Akroan Crusader 4x Arena Athlete 4x Firedrinker ...

I personally play 17 and that seems to be the sweet spot (or 17 + 1 vault) Agreed, 17/18 seems right. Everflame Eidolon is really underwhelming imo Really wanted this card to be good, this isn't the deck for it. Maybe play just a few? I'd rather run Arena Athlete along with Madcap Skills to make th...

The 1/1 after Rollicker bestow is mostly irrelevant, I think Ordeal of Purphoros is better in the 2-drop Heroic enabler slot. Coordinated Assault is best when you throw Arena Athlete into the mix with the 1-drop Heoric dudes. I've gone off [card]Titan's Strength[/card], but Coordinated Assault doesn...

Eidolon of Rhetoric has solved all of my Storm woes. It's worth paying 1 more for the extra toughness then? And the 1 power is better than Rule of Law ? Sorry if I'm stating the obvious, the only discussion I've heard about the card is how you can pod into it. It seems like a reasonable alternative...

For what it's worth, Prophetic Flamespeaker should enable some stupid turns if it connects. It's obviously a worse body than Reckoner, and this deck might not be able to force it through. I think I'm gonna try R/b, for the sweet anti-control sideboard options. The hardest matchups for me were the on...
