Deck Description

Do you love putting a 6/6 that repeatedly bolts your opponents or destroys their lands into play as early as turn one? Do you love your opponents scooping as early as turn 3 or 4 because they can't deal with your threats? Then this deck is for you!

This deck is primarily good because:
1. Most people aren't prepared to play this deck, because it is under the radar.
2. It beats out some of the fastest decks in Modern (Burn & Infect) because of sheer board presence.
3. Between games 1 & 2, you're able to side in Blood Moon, Magus of the Moon, and Chalice of the Void to suddenly go from the Aggro deck to the Control deck, and this makes people sideboard dead cards.
4. You're playing with a red Black Lotus: (opening hand having a Simian Spirit Guide, Gemstone Caverns, and Mountain).

How to Play

There are actually many ways to play the deck. The primary way I play is to flood the board with small, ritual creatures, or even just rituals, to power out large threats like Deus of Calamity, Inferno Titan, and Koth of the Hammer. If they remove the big guy, at least you still have a ton of little 2/2's, 2/1's, and 1/1's to go the beat-down plan.

Between games, you want to side out your big guys, Deus of Calamity and Inferno Titan for any mix of sideboard cards. This leaves Koth of the Hammer as your primary win condition, but at least you have tons of lock-out and hate cards in the sideboard to keep you alive until you get him. If all else fails, go beat-down.

Deck discussion for Modern AiR (All in Red)

I don't endorse Wild Cantor unless you're doing a storm thing. In her place, I'd put in 4x Goblin Bushwhacker to make sure that whatever fattie you combo into gets to swing that turn.
I have built a combo deck for Modern which I could really bust with moar money, but I'd like to see if the idea is worth entertaining.

The main reason I have Wild Cantor is to kind of have "reserve mana." Wild cantor is the only creature in the deck that if you fizzle trying to go off (because you're against a blue deck) that you still have so acceleration, and that you have a free 1 mana on one of the next turns, as well as helps you ensure you can combo off again.

Also, I adore how cheap this is. Budget decks get a lot of love on the "New Vault" and this one is truly cool.
