Deck discussion for Hostility

You need more mana ramp. Rite of Flame and Simian Spirit Guide are good choices. Free mana. It brings out your Hostility faster.

Good luck.

I'll add some Spirit Guides to see how it reacts. I do routinely get Hostility out on turn 3 with the Seething Song and the Smokebraider mana ramping for me.

At the very least Spirit Guide can help you in your opening hand. I mean, if you get mana screwed (draw no Mountains your opening hand) you still have one free Red Mana to play a Harbinger). Speaking of having so much mana ramping cards...and the fact that you have most of your cards costing 3 mana or less...i might suggest taking out 2 or 3 Mountains.

Card to consider for replacement. Browbeat. 2 colorless and 1 red. You get to draw 3 cards. It is awesome for this deck, I think. For example, on turn 6 you play Browbeat and then get to draw 3 cards and still have 3 mana to play the spells/cards. It could work.

Expensive card to consider might be Chain Lighting. Same as Lighting Bolt but cost about 10 bucks a piece. Would take out the Pulse or Incinerate for them.

Or another card to consider would be Fireblast. It is a very dangerous card for you and your opponent. You pay the alternate casting cost by sacrificing 2 mountains (they can be first used by lighting bolts/incinerate first, and then sac them). It does 4 damage to target player or creature. Or pay the 6 mana, but everyone sacs the 2 mountains.

Idea would be like this for Fireblast.
It is your 4th turn and you have Hostility in play (because of mana ramp). You have 3 untapped mana in play. Play Lighting Bolt for 1 mana and Incinerate for 2 more mana. Now your lands are tapped out. You would get 6 3/1 creatures with haste and do 18 damage. And your opponent would get a turn. But instead of that, what you do now is sac two tapped lands and play Fireblast and do 4 damage. So, 10 3/1 creatures with haste on the 4th turn. 30 damage. Game over.

So. I would suggest.
-3 Mountains.
+3 Browbeat
-2 Incinerate
+2 Chain Lightning (or +2 Shock, it is cheaper)
-1 Thunderblade -1 Fireball
+2 Fireblast

Just offering friendly advice. Nice deck, I liked it.

Good luck!
