Dies to Removal

Yeah, there was a game where I dashed Warbringer + Kolaghan Forerunners + Kolaghan Skirmisher with another 2/2 already on board. 11 (4 trample) damage from 4 sources on turn 5. And all of those cards are common/uncommon.

R/B was really under-represented at my store, which I didn't get. We were divided into color groups for product distribution, and there were only ~6 other people at my table. I ended up winning the mirror against one of them in round 4. For comparison, 12+ people each picked R/G, U/B, U/W.

Any cool cards that I might be overlooking?

Purge the Profane

Purge the Profane

where's whispy in that deck

It's in my lap not the deck

Memory Lap 1U

Instant

Counter target spell. If that spell is countered this way, put it on its owner's lap instead of that player's graveyard.

lol

Whisperwallaby Elemental

I thought "Oh kait will love that joke zem made. He's been making the same one non fucking stop for the past week" then I remembered kait is a fuck who gives no thanks

It's in my lap not the deck

That was my favorite deck ever. I still have it sleeved up for casual play. I'm planning to use it to teach my dad how to play.

I'm missing two cards main but can't remember what they were.

That's definitely my favourite deck we ever built

I know your build was a little different from most because you were playing solely online, but the Khaos deck wins thread is still on archive here

TY

I just remembered that putting Volcanic Strength on a Frostburn Weird was a thing you could do in standard.

I just remembered that tapping 4 red mana and casting hellrider was thing in standard.

The 2 maindeck cards where probably hounds of griselbrand.

Hellrider into Hellrider

:')

Went to prerelease. Chose Kolaghan and built a R/B splash white for Secure the Wastes. Ended up 3-0 and then split for top. Felt good.

Damnable Pact, Rakshasa Gravecaller, and Reckless Imp overperformed. Pact won me at least three games outright, and Secure the Wastes is just disgusting as an instant. On the red side of things, Thuderbreak Regent made people sweat, and Qal Sisma Behemoth was surprisingly effective.

For a set supposedly built around dragons, very few dragons made appearances. The Regent was the only one I had in my pool, and it was my seeded pack rare.

Ended up with [card]Atarka's Command[/card], Dragonlord Atarka, Shaman of Forgotten Ways, Shorecrasher Elemental, and another Secure the Wastes as the choice cards from prize packs.

All in all, it was a good afternoon of Magic.

Hellrider into Zealous Conscripts was a thing of infinite beauty.

Testing out new Surrak in the Temur deck. So gud.

And thanks guys on the suggestion on the full set of Roast. It's been a monster too. The two pre-releases I went to I played UW both times going 3-1. I managed to pull all three Sarkhans, all four Roasts, and two Thunderbreaks in my pool/prize packs. I think it's a sign.

Roast is perfect for what Red Decks need now. Not an exciting card but it doesn't need to be.

Man, i have fond memories of pairing Stonewright and the ole Hound.

Griselbound train, leaving the station on turn 4

Falkenrath Aristocrat + Stonewright was still my favorite way to induce tilt.

I remember being wrathed so the Hound comes back, untap and Stonewright for infinity.

Just got destroyed on trice against a deck featuring these card.

Sylvan Caryatid
Dragon Servant
Dromoka the Eternal
Dragonlord Kolaghan
Silumgar, the Drifting death
Draconic Roar
Dragon Tempest
Sarkhan's Triumph
Dromoka's Command
Sarkhan Unbroken

Devotion reds sweet, but not when you have to board out all your roasts cause your opponent's mono-dragons

Deck actually seemed reasonable. It has enough cheap interaction that it doesn't just get run over and it can pseudo combo kill with either dragon tempest or kolaghan enabling infinite haste damage from nowhere.

Something to chew on for anyone that wants to test the viability of dragon tribal.

Personally I was thinking Jund Dragons could be viable.

Falkenrath Aristocrat into Zealous Conscripts was a thing of infinite beauty.

Fixed.
