but there are two damage steps whenever you have a first striker or doublestriker. Also you can cast spells between the two damage steps.

If you can give something Cyphered with hte Hidden strings double stike the Hidden strings will trigger twice. Consider this. Artfull dodge on the cyclops and Hidden strings untapping lands for the boros charm. Swing with the cyclops. First stike damage for 10 cypher triggers on the cyc normal damage of 13. Thats 23 damage in one swing and you would have 2 lands open for another spell (maybe a fling). All this is possible on T4.
Hidden Strings can give some explosive power for the Cyclops especially if you can give him double strike with the boros charm.
I just mentioned it because it looks like he's not using it for anything more than extra ramp. At that point color dont matter.
Llanowar not standard anymore. Consider Avacyn's Pilgrim instead?
May i also suggest Fluxcharger. More expensive but has flying give a potential 4 point power swing and makes a decent blocker.
Also if you wanted to go with R/B you could do the same. Just replace giant growth with Uncanny Speed and the Fless//Blood with a fling. You lose your mana elf but makes it eisier to build if you don't have the shocks.
my mistake. Confirmed it with a DCI judge friend of mine. Cool deck man!
not to rain on you parade or anything but i don't think the doublestrike will work the way you think it does. If i understand it correctly you do get 2 triggers off of the Hidden strings, but you can't cast the giant growth during the combat damage step. you would have to wait untill after combat damage is complete. Still doable thought. 4+5+11=20.
Dude...splinter twin. I mean cmon twins. Need I say more?
oh and one more before i forget Nim Deathmantle whats better than a hoard of angy goblins? A hoard of angry ZOMBIE goblins. lol
If your willing to spend a little extra i have some suggestions that you may wish to look at: Livewire lash +similar effect to the axe with some bonus punishment for someone playing with targeted removal -slightly more expensive than darksteel axe. after seeing your first round people will likely sideboard in some mass removal Strata Scythe +great for monocolor/basic land decks like this one decent finisher if the game goes long -pretty expensive mana wise probably just one of these Chandra's Phoenix +well worth the investment for any RDW. alot of decks just cant deal with a 2/2 flyer that just wont stay dead -can be pretty pricey. very discouraging for budget players like us.
After further consideration you could stick with the land destruction theme if you put in some liquid ketal coating. This allows you to take advantage of cheap artifact destruction spells like crush and shatter to nuke lands and give yourself some help against swords/batterskulls
correction on previous post nix the seething song that has not been reprinted. some other possible stall cards would be twitch, regress, diminish, galvanic blast, negate, searing blaze, spawning breath and whiplash trap.
Lose the creatures they serve no purpose. Nix the call to mind, victorious destruction and rite of flame. Consider things like tezzeret's gambit, gitaxian probe, gut shot, forked bolt, vapor snag, flame slash, arc trail, pyretic ritual, seething song, pyroclasm and for shits and giggles you can put in kiln fiends.
Deck nazi language nazi and hey now we got the post nazi. Its a regular nazi reunion.
L2 Use teh engrish ranguage. "if anywhere is his description said anything remotely relevent that he's....." but to reinforce the point he was trying to make this is not a tourney deck despite having a sideboard. Similar rulings have affected cards like burning wish ( or any of the wish cards).
