Not sure about price, but Fervent Strike, Sure Strike and See Red could have some benefit in this deck I bet.

Sure strike especially as you could easily be swinging for 11 BEFORE any double strike effects.

Thanks for the suggestions clayperce. I haven't had a chance to play the deck, but I plan on hitting up a Pioneer event at my LGS this Wednesday.

• I 100% understand your pain with Rootbound Crag . I may consider dropping it as you did before I play on Wednesday. I'm playing a little riskier at 19 lands, but I'm hoping the Servant of the Conduit will help accelerate me.
• Maximize Velocity is there primarily for the haste. I just looked up some other similar 1-CMC options to give our buddy haste: Cartouche of Zeal (or it's clone, Hammerhand , Claim the Firstborn , Expedite , Fervent Strike , Messenger's Speed , and Samut's Sprint . I'll have to see how the format lines up with removal to re-evaluate if I need the hastiness. I am considering swapping in 1x Rhonas the Indomitable for 1x Maximize Velocity .
• I would have several Veil of Summer in the sideboard if I had them. Instead, I've added Heroic Intervention ($$, but I already own a playset) and Ranger's Guile , the poor sibling of Blossoming Defense for more spot-defense.

I'll let you know how the sideboard works out on Wednesday. Aethersphere Harvester is there to out-gun any burn-based decks. Rhythm of the Wild might also be a good option for me to replace the second Maximize Velocity in the main deck.

FYI, I will probably brew a UG version to see if those colors still hold some opportunities, maybe even bring in back to Temur. But with the price of Mana Confluence , the mana base may struggle to fit the requirements.

I think you should play zero or all four Arclight Phoenix, nothing in between. Fervent Strike copied with Thousand-Year Storm at your quadrillion bird tokens seems pretty insane.

You should really put more love into your deck description. :-)

Have a look at my storm take in Guilds of Ravnica Standart:

@dusterGGG I was thinking about the removal thing, and you're right. But on the subject of Fervent Strike, what would I swap out for it? The best choice I can think of would be the Crash Through, but that trample and the draw can be game-winners when it's the third or fourth spell that turn, you know? I'll swap out the Risk Factor though, since it really skews the Average CMC of the deck.

I feel like you could use some more removal, maybe replace two of you Risk Factor with Lightning Strike. Also have you considered Fervent Strike? It's a solid pump spell, especially with Beamsplitter Mage.

I'd take out that Built to Smash and Fervent Strike for Claim // Fame and/or Buccaneer's Bravado. Looks like a fun build. Good luck!

WolfBream on Guttersnipe Deck, any thoughts?

5 years ago

After seeing the core set 19 cards, I decided I want to make a mono red deck that will survive the rotation coming in the fall. The whole strategy behind this deck is to do increments of damage to my opponent's health through Viashino Pyromancer, Burn Spells, and Guttersnipe. Are there any thoughts/ suggestions?

Main:

Creatures (21):

4 Guttersnipe 4 Viashino Pyromancer 4 Ghitu Lavarunner 3 Dismissive Pyromancer 3 Fanatical Firebrand

Instants (12): 4 Wizard's Lightning 4 Shock 4 Lightning Strike

Enchantments (3):

3 The Flame of Keld

Sorceries (3):

3 Mutiny

Land (21):

21 Mountain

Total: 60

Sideboard:

3 Smelt 2 Repeating Barrage 2 Fervent Strike 2 Reckless Rage 2 Warlord's Fury 1 Makeshift Munitions 3 Goblin Chainwhirler

Thanks in advance,

Would Renegade Tactics be better then Warlord’s Fury or rather drop the card draw and go for instant speed ones like Invigorated Rampage, Fervent Strike, Run Amok, or Sure Strike? And dive down , mainboard or sideboard, or rather Spell Pierce?
