Well, this is ok... ...but I don't like the Geyser there... ...ok, it's reasenable with Nykthos, but most of the time, it'll just slow your deck...

Also, Burning-Tree is used in many of these decks, even by pro-s, but trust me, it's not worth it, since it gives you 1 red & 1 green, so you usually won't get to play 2 creatures at turn two if you use the best possible creatures for the deck...

The Phoenix is not good here... ...it won't come back too often...

What you'll certanly need here is Frostburn Wierd, 1 more Reckogner, 1 more mountain & may be 1-2 Mutavault(highly recommanded)...

Stormbreath is very nice here, tough I don't use it, 'cuz as I tested these decks, it turned out that no matter if it has haste, it still slowes down the deck...

Five Alarm Fire has really worked out for me(no more & no less than 2 of it)... ...if I play it on turn 3, it will 1st activate between turn 5 to 7, usually 5 or 6, but if I cast it on turn 4, it'll still activate the same time... ...if I cast it on turn 5 or 6, or mid/late-game, it'll almost alwayes activate the turn I play it & than also activate each turn.......

Mizzium Mortars is a game vinner!.. ...with Nykthos, it's easy to cast 1 for it's Overload & than still cast stuff(if hammer is on board, than they'll have haste & quite some of the stuff has haste by itselfe) & attack with everything without a possible blocker, or may be 1 or 2 blockers... ...use it mainboard(at least 3 of it).......

Anger won't do you good in the sideboard since it kills off most of your own stuff...

Since some of the stuff has haste by itselfe, I like to run only 2 Hammer, but 3 is also reasonable... ...I just don't like to draw too many... ...may be keeping 1 out of the 3 in the sideboard for times when the opponent can exile it with Fade into Antiquity would be the best...

I use Dragon Mantle & Dragon Hatchling, because their ability +1/+0 ability is formitable with Nykthos & I've won matches by that where I've had my creatures wiped out 3-4 times in a single game... ...especially the Hatchling(holding it for late-game against control decks is a deciding act)... ...I also like Mantle for it's draw ability, it really kicks the stability of the deck & it's awesome with both Ash & Reckogner(because of First Strike - +1/+0 with First Strike is nice)... ...Reckogner with First Strike & Dragon Mantle can also be delt damage, return the damage & staying alive thanks to the +1/+0 stuff.......


Overall, you've done a good job!.. ...make a few changes & it will rock ass! :)

Good!.. :)

Now it's almost just like mine... ...I don'T use the Striker(tough it's a very good idea)... ...I use 1 Mutavault, 1 more Mortars & 1 Chandra in place of the 3 Striker... :)

...in the sideboard, you should try 2 Burning Tree, when facing 3 color decks, it's awesome... ...Seismic Stomp wins the aggro vs aggro matchups & Flames of the Firebrand is effective against other mono-red & mono-black aggro, also nice against mono-blue, tough you can't shot Master of Waves with it, it can deal with 3 tokens, or such...

Hey Poet, could you go check out the Mono Red deck I just made? (Tom Ross's one) I want to try and make some changes and would like your advice.
