Mono Red: time to kill is now

premodern / wangermee / 25th mai 2020

Let me introduce you my mono red. It's maybe my favorite deck in old-school 95/96 format. With this deck you slowly but surely control the board. This deck will reveal his strength after turn 3 or 4. In this format, due to the number of small and strong creatures, most of those decks are very fast. but don't worried about faster decks ! Let me explain the deck :

• 8 drop 1 (immolation and lightning bolt), 4 incineration : perfect for killing small creatures and cleanig the board
• 2 pyrokinesis and 1 fire ball will surprise your opponent and can kill bigger creatures
• 3 balduvian trading post, for killing lions, orders, knights... ( should be play if you already ave 3 or more mountains )
• 4 shatter, of course for mishra's but also for zuran Orb, ivory tower... and necropotence

About the creatures, no small creatures. Besides, unless you play goblin, there are no good creatures within 3 manas. The cheapest creatures in the deck cost 3 mana. But that's not a problem, due to all direct damages, the board shouldn't be too full.

• 4 uthden troll, strong and resilient. I love them.
• 4 ball lightning, a must have in a mono red.
• 4 dragon welp, 4 manas for a flying boostable creature... it's powerful
• 2 shivan dragon, it's big, it's strong and it's so iconic .... and 3 balduvian give you some extra mana.
• 1 orcish cannoneers, use it only on your opponent
• 1 eron the relentless, a cool homelands card. A mixted between a ball lightning, a uthden troll and a shivan.
