Dies to Removal

Think maybe cut a Stoke - they don't do much good if you don't have the creatures to tap

Seems a good idea, but prob it depends on the meta? In a midrange-infested area I would not leave home without the full set of Stoke.
I would really like to ask you about the Revoker. How it has performed? Against what decks you side it in? As a 2-of could work, in your opinion? I'm really thinking about playing a pair maindeck: it would be a mistake? (you know, messin' with opponents walker is always funny)

Revoker is a catch-all there for an unknown meta in the infancy of a new standard season. It's a wrench to throw in the works of decks with lots of mana sink creatures or planeswalkers, or cards with wonky activated abilities that you thought no one would play but someone did anyway. Best way to use it is just as removal bait, but in an aggro deck like this their removal may be a scarce resource. I would imagine that as the season goes on and the meta becomes more developed and predictable, this card will probably drop out and be replaced by something more targeted.

Maindeck? I dunno... I think it would only come in against decks that have shown they are using multiple key cards with activated abilities, especially if they don't have a crap-ton of cheap removal. Otherwise I think you would be better off maindecking less situation-specific more proactive cards.

May I respectfully request that we move non-mono-red lists to their own sub-thread? Otherwise we're going to get pulled entirely off of the original thread topic - Mono Red Scrumper

You would have to weigh any incremental advantages from exchanging splash-color cards against the consistency and tempo hit you would take from CIPT mana sources.

Think maybe cut a Stoke - they don't do much good if you don't have the creatures to tap. Complete speculation on my part, but I'm thinking that the Jet provides (in addition to some cheap early damage) draw fixing which will allow you to better set up a token engine, which will then allow Stoke to do it's 4-chunk business more reliably and efficiently. But without the engine to power convoke, the mana/damage ratio of Stoke just isn't as good.

'K'spawn, that list is real similar to what I came up with after removing the fetches from my early attempt a couple pages back. I have Aspirant in the SB and upped the count of Purph and the Bird compared to your list. SB needs a little work but it'll do for FNM. I'm curious to hear how you do.

[deck]Ashy Purphoros[/deck]

I don't always play Red, but when I do, I bring both my girlfriends with me to watch me win.

Both? You mean you only have two? C'mon man, you need to break out of that shell.

brought his Texan and Russian GFs along

What, no creeper cell phone pics?

we deck teched and rebuilt it to this beast:

[deck]4 Firedrinker Satyr
4 Monastery Swiftspear
3 Foundry Street Denizen
4 War-Name Aspirant
4 Goblin Rabblemaster
4 Hordeling Outburst
1 Ashcloud Phoenix
1 Purphoros, God of the Forge

4 Lightning Strike
3 Magma Jet
4 Stoke the Flames

2 Hall of Triumph

22 Mountain

Sideboard:
1 Searing Blood
1 Harness by Force
3 Arc Lightning
2 Magma Spray
2 Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker
2 Mountain
1 Blinding Flare
1 Purphoros, God of the Forge
2 Ashcloud Phoenix[/deck]

That looks very similar to whait I've been working on:

[deck]4 Monastery Swiftspear
4 Firedrinker Satyr
3 Foundry Street Denizen
4 War-Name Aspirant
4 Goblin Rabblemaster
3 Ashcloud Phoenix
2 Purphoros,
God of the Forge

3 Hordeling Outburst

4 Stoke the Flames
4 Magma Jet
4 Lightning Strike

4 Bloodstained Mire
4 Wooded Foothills
13 Mountain
[/deck]

Are fetches a mistake? Does the life loss outweigh the thinning in a deck like this?

I went undefeated last night.

My deck felt unbeatable. For the first time, I felt like I had the best deck in the room. Even in the 3 games I dropped, I was literally 1 turn away from winning.

Congrats, 'spawn!

Let's see your current main/side lineup knowing what you know now.

When do you bring in Chandra/Eidolon/Phoenix?
