Deck Description

Red and Green with a bit of mana acceleration doesn't seem deadly.
Until you triggered a mass of mountains to come in and totally wreck your opponent's field by the molten volcano called Valakut. When the volcano explodes, it's gonna be crazy!

Of course, if your opponent isn't scared of an gigantic volcano pouring down 3 damage per Mountain I play if I have 5 or more Mountain already on the battlefield. Then they have to answer to the Magma Phoenix, which comes back alive again and again to nuke the entire field for 3 damage. Or if nothing else works, there's always Lavaball Trap to nuke the entire field and demolish your opponent out of 2 lands.

valakut is vicious with scapeshift. once you have a functioning valakut sac all your non valakut lands and put that many mountains into play. Thats like 15 damage minimum and you don't even have to have valakut online, just 5 other lands of any kind + volcanoe.

Actually with Valakut, you need a minimum 7 lands in order to make it work (Valakut + 6 Mountain). Scapeshift only works if you have that min number of 7 lands. 6 Lands won't work.

Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle says whenever a Mountain comes into the battlefield. If you already control 5 other mountains, it works.

If 5 Mountains enter the battlefield at the same time. For each mountain, I only have 4 other mountains, so none of them trigger.

If 6 Mountains enter the battlefield at the same time. For each mountain, I have the correct 5 other mountains for them. So Valakut will trigger 6 times for each mountain that comes into the battlefield.

Yea, too bad Scapeshift isn't Tournament Legal in Standard. It is in Extended, but usually if I run a Scapeshift deck I'll get beaten pretty badly because Extended Decks kill a lot faster than Standard Decks. But Scapeshift is always fun for casual play. 8 Lands ( Valakut + 7 Mountain entering at the same time) = 21 damage KO!
