Huh. War's Toll seems like a more powerful mana web. Cool card. I bet it would be sorry obnoxious with that white enchantment that deals damage to attacking creatures based on the number of attacking creatures. But in this deck of course, since mono red, but in general. I could see some hilarious interactions with some enchantments that force attacks.

Ah. Missed the budget tag. Fair enough.

Might I suggest Sakura-tribe Scout instead of skyshroud ranger? It is the same card, but isn't limited to being used only when you could play a sorcery. Or Llanowar scout. 2 mana, but a 1/3. Again not limited to being a sorcery. Also slightly cheaper.

I wonder, would you consider trying to fit amulet of Vigor in here? It would help the slow nature of gates. And possibly sideboard something like spine of ish-sa or meteor golem for blood moon hate?

but can you shuffle it without help?

Arcane adaptation could fit really well in here.

Allowing for 2-ofs I think helps with consistency.

yeah, it is a good build. should perform very well. :)

So... A fairly typical infect deck? Taking out invigorate for Might of Old Krosa would even make it modern legal.

This is not bad. Tendershoot Dryad is a great card. The only thing I don't understand is Switcheroo. I don't really see how it fits in here. I feel like you would be better served with some card draw or more counter spells. Am I missing something?

So... Barren glory deck? Just with an un-set card? Love the flavor here. :)

Thanks. I saw Soulgorger orgg, and thought this might be a good way to abuse it.

Indeed thundermaw would be brutal to imprint.

I didn't say your decks were not good. Just not interesting. And yes I have made lots of decks on here, but they are all original decks, not carbon copies of the best decks. If you had looked at them you might have noticed that. In fact I have a couple of the most viewed decks on the vault. Not because they are met decks, but because they are interesting and unique. At least for the time they were published.

I also don't consider myself a part of the "I'm offended by everything" group that has a bit more control of the world than it should. But that doesn't mean I don't find certain things offensive. I suppose that I was missing some context with your name, and I won't push it. But I do tend to recognize names on here fairly quickly, so if I have seen it I tend to remember it the next time I see it. Particularly those that are... Different.

As for your decks... I haven't looked at all of them and I am sure there is something that isn't boring in there somewhere... :p
And yes, I hate netdecking.
I have a wide array of unusual decks, that I thought were fun or different when I came up with them, and a few which I am rather proud of.

Well if a deck isn't published, it doesn't appear to others when browsing your profile. Also, we really didn't care about your decks enough to look more than once, as they were bland and uninteresting aside from the political rhetoric in the names.

Also a deck being posted 9 days later didn't seem like immediately to me.

And finally... It is sad that I have to say this to anyone, given light of the recent events in U. S. Politics, much less your clearly demonstrated alignment in such, your name is still highly offensive. You really should change it if you can. I am sure you are a fine upstanding person, but the name you have chosen to represent yourself with declares you as a blight and a stain on humanity. It identifies you as a person who enables or perpetrates sexual abuse against others, which is disgusting in the highest order.

Honestly, I don't know if names can be changed here, but if so I would implore that you do. If not... You should create a new account and copy all the decks from this account into the new one. I guess you also have the option of ignoring me too, but I wish you wouldn't. I love mtgvault, and the good community here, and I can't stand seeing your offensive name whenever I visit the site.


As for your comment below about republican surveillance... I am SURE no democrat has ever spied on any political opponents right... Right...? I think there are good and bad people that belong to both parties, and I refuse to believe that either side is infallible in their people or their ideology. I can't stand either side demonizing the other simply because they don't agree. I see it on both sides, and it frustrates me to no end.
Also democrats are blue and Republicans are red... So flavor fail...?

Shattering spree is cheaper by one at most times yes, but it also requires all red mana. This deck has a lot of red mana, but not all.

So as I said earlier, by force provides one kind of flexibility in being able to maximize all available mana for artifact destruction, and technically can be just as mana efficient if you have ruby amulet out, which doesn't benefit shattering spree at all.

On the other hand, Shattering spree gives the flexibility of dodging singular counter spells.

I like both, and I think both are good, and personal preference on which to use.

Although the artifact hate cars in here is technically always more expensive than shattering spree by 1 for the same number of artifacts destroyed. But it isn't reliant on just red mana I suppose, so... Eh?

No worries. Shatterstorm sounds more like a replicate or storm spell than shattering spree in my opinion.

I feel like you are mixing up shatterstorm with shattering spree because shatterstorm can be countered by a single spell as well. In either case I think by force is slightly better in this particular deck, although both shatterstorm and shattering spree are good.

Shatterstorm does hit everything, but costs 4 mana at all times so if you want to blow up everything that's great. But if you don't have 4 mana you can't use it., so by force lets you hit at least 1 thing at half the cost, and 2 things for 1 less mana, and 3 things fit the same price, albeit a little more flexible because it only requires a single red mana. So if you are wanting to hit more than 3 things shatterstorm is certainly cheaper.

Shattering spree, which can copy itself is certainly a fine spell, and is harder to counter because of replicate. However, it requires something that by force does not: all red mana. So you can only replicate it as many times as you have red mana which, more often than not, isn't all your lands or mana rocks. So you can't get the maximum efficiency from it like you can with by force. So you trade one kind of flexibility for another.

Just my two cents.

Why would you have both Reclamation Sage and Knight of Autumn? You esky don't need both.

I see that you have blue in here just for Twincast, which is a sweet card but I think you could be mono red if you use Doublecast or Increasing Vengeance instead. you could also swap out Searing Spear or Lightning Strike for Incinerate, which is essentially the same card but strictly better because it prevents regeneration.
