Deck Description

I wanted to find a way to play Eidolon in my main that I felt was effective vs. most of the meta in standard. With soo many people running multi colors (with pain fetch) and Mana Confluence (additional self burn) I felt the time was right to make him the centerpiece. People are consistently doing 3 damage to themselves and an additional 2-4 with him makes it so I only need to hit with a few pingers and end the game with burn.

How to Play

Ignore your health total and push it. Establish board presence..burn theirs then drop Eidolon. They will burn to re-play mana-dorks/ card draw/ play a chump blocker etc. Most decks will not be prepared for you. They will often scour sands too early and with 2-3 cards in hand you should have no trouble keeping the pressure on. Make sue to have a 1 drop creature in hand or mulligan 1x. Played this last FNM and went 4-1. The last game was a nail biter between myself and and a gentleman running Atarka aggro. Each of the 3 hands were exceptionally close.

Deck discussion for Mono-Red Aggro

Fun... cheap...fast. I opted out of the Swiftspears as they encourage you to cast lots on your own turn and I prefer to burn on my opponent's turns.

But most of the time Swiftspear is a one mana 2/3 with haste, which is almost as good as goblin guide if not better. I wouldn't be playing frenzied goblin over swiftspear, that's for sure.
