Deck Description

Yet another nice multiplayer deck. Try to play creatures as little as possible stay alive and finish your opponents with one shoot: Chain Reaction+Repercussion. If your opponents play also with very few creatures just use the War Riders. I had to include the shatterstorm, because my friends like to play artifact decks one time or another.

Deck discussion for The Big Bang

I like where this deck is going!

I think this deck could really use Forbidden Orchard and Glacial Chasm. The Orchard is great for added redundancy with Varchild's War-Riders, as Red is really lacking in the tutor department. The Chasm is great for saving you from your own War-Riders with Repercussion out. Or most things your opponents throw at you. Chasm is a greatly underappreciated card, and it can buy you several turns for little cost.

I would drop Iron Myr for a non-creature mana artifact. The Myr, whether or not it's under the penalty of Repercussion, will just die to some mass removal spell. Darksteel Ingot might work for you, as it survives Shatterstorm and Nevinyrral's Disk. If you start running Orchards and / or Chasms, Expedition Map could be another solid replacement option.

First of all thank you for your comments and the card suggestions. Since I mostly build my decks from those cards I already have it easily happens that I miss more suitable cards. Now some words about the suggested cards.
Forbidden Orchard has easily made it on my shopping list. Just perfect! Glacial Chasm is also worth locking at, maybe instead of the Trading Post. Concerning the Iron Myr I can agree with you, maybe I will exchange it for a Fellwar Stone, which I already posses (even with the disadvantage concerning the Nevi or the shatter).

Sure thing; I love discussing deck construction.

Fellwar Stone is a solid card, so that could find a home in your deck at some point. But I just realized your deck is five cards larger than it needs to be. Since that's the case, I'd simply drop the Iron Myr and get closer to the minimum size limit; you'd be cutting a few mana-producing creatures, but decreasing the deck size is going to improve the land-to-spell ratio. Creatures and artifacts will both only last so long with your deck, so making consistent land drops will be the most important factor in powering out your more expensive spells.

I think Cerebral Eruption can also be trimmed. It only targets one opponent, and it's fairly unreliable too. Between Starstorm, Pyroclasm, and Chain Reaction, you already have this role covered.

If you do get ahold of some Glacial Chasms, I would not cut mana-producing lands for them. The Chasm needs to be treated as a 'spell' card because it cannot make any mana itself.
