Deck Description

No. This is not Red Devotion. This is Red Rush. There is a difference. I've also built this on somewhat of a budget so I'm trying to find cost effective ways to make this more efficient. However, reagrdless of cost, all suggestions are welcome.

How to Play

Turn 1: Mountain, Firedrinker Satyr
Turn 2: Mountain, Ash Zealot [4 damage dealt] {16 life}
Turn 3: Mountain, Burning-Tree Emmissary, Madcap Skills (targeting Firedrinker Satyr), Rakdos Cackler (Unleashed) [7 damage dealt] {9 life}
Turn 4: Mountain, Burning-Tree Emmissary, Lightning Strike, Legion Loyalist, Titan's Strength [18 damage dealt] {-9 life}
Good game.

And this is only a potential hand. There are many more variations but the deck has an almost garunteed win on turn 4. Regardless of blocks, burning, wiping, destroying, and countering.

Deck discussion for RDW Standard

a couple cheap cards you could consider are foundry-street denizen and thunderous might. Foundry with burning-trees is a sick 1 drop, and thunderous can get really scary really quick if your trying to beat down your opponent before they drown in sorrow you.

What would I cut for those cards? They both solid picks for this kind of a deck. Especially the denizen.

Well, Since foundry is a 1 drop you would want to replace one of your other one drops with him. my first glance goes towards fire drinker satyr, since you should never have open mana when he is still good and he gets very bad (for you) very fast. 4 legion loyalist does seem like over kill though. maybe the best way to try it is to run 3s of each 1 drop and see which ones you like more than others. running 3s instead of 4s also protects you somewhat from bile blight.

As for thunderous might, ummm. I would personally use maybe 1 or 2 of them over titan's strength, but thats completely up to whoever runs the deck.

Hope that helped and good luck!

Yeah. Thanks. The Firedrinkers do sting a little when they get killed. I'll try to replace them 3 of each one drop. 3x Firedrinker Satyr, 3x Legion Loyalist, 3x Rakdos Cackler, 3x Foundry Street Denizen
