Wayward Guide-Beast

Creature — Beast

Trample, haste

Whenever Wayward Guide-Beast deals combat damage to a player, return a land you control to its owner's hand.

I like what you got here. The only things I can suggest are the following.

1) run four copies of Lightning Bolt. It acts like removal and gives you the ability to hit your opponent’s life total directly. I personally feel Kazuul's Fury  Flip, Mutagenic Growth, Kazandu Mammoth  Flip and Wayward Guide-Beast aren’t needed unless you run three or more copies of each.

2) cards like Ancestral Anger, Audacity, Charge Through and Crash Through allow you to get past walls of creatures with trample and also draw you a card, which can make your deck more consistent.

I think the ideal list for you would be this.

4 Akoum Hellhound, 4 Brushfire Elemental, 3 Lotus Cobra, 3 Atarka’s Command, 4 Lightning Bolt, 3 Temur Battle Rage, 4 Crash Through, 4 Enter the Unknown, 4 Explore, 4 Skyclave Pick-Axe, 23 lands

This deck's solid! I'm sure it's been playtesting wonderfully.

That being said, I'd consider the following cards:

Burgeoning, Crop Rotation, Tectonic Reformation, Sword of Hearth and Home, Wayward Guide-Beast, Scapeshift & Silverback Elder.

Peace!

Thanks Saccox. I actually had Wayward Guide-Beast in the rough draft of this deck, but thought it might slow down the tempo too much in the early game. I’ll add it to the maybeboard though in case there’s a clever way to use it I’m not seeing.

Squirrelbacon, I am going to toy around with Roiling Vortex in the Main at some time, I do like it in a lot of matchups, it just makes sense. As for Wayward Guide-Beast , I am not to sold on the risk/reward aspect. I would probably run Light Up the Stage instead for some draw.

What if you made it this deck mono red and added in a few Wayward Guide-Beast s and/or Roiling Vortex s to the list? I know that most people laugh at the beast, but he can return tapped lands to your hand so in theory you could unload a bit quicker with the lower curve!

I have a sneaking suspicion that Roiling Vortex is going to be much better than anyone expects it to be, even if it is just out of the sideboard.

Alrighty.

General Notes: I see a whole lotta fatties and some ramp but not too much interaction. I'd definitely cut some of those high cmc cards and replace them with more low to the ground creatures. Also, imo splashing white would be a lot more useful than splashing black because you can use Steppe Lynx and maybe Path to Exile along with white's sexy sideboard suite, and Ol' Obby is not worth the splash. I haven't tested Nissa of Shadowed Boughs , but if she turns out to be op as fuck, then I would suggest adding some black removal at least like Push and Trophy .

In modern, ramp like Cultivate and Kodama's Reach are gonna be way too slow. I'd definitely cut them. If you want ramp of this kind, then maybe Search for Tomorrow . Also I don't really see why Crackle with Power is there, although I guess you could cast it for a decent amount with the ramp and Lotus Cobra . Another "ramp" spell I think is worth trying is Atarka's Command . It can ramp, bolt the opponent, pump all your creatures, clap your opponent's lifegain, etc. Also can't forget our boy Lightning Bolt .

For creatures, I'd at least cut Ob to 1 copy, if not altogether. Same with Omnath, Locus of Rage , unless you want to lean more into the elemental tribal. Territorial Scythecat does not seem worth it. I like Ancient Greenwarden , but it costs 6, and it doesn't actually do anything by itself either, it depends on other landfall creatures, so I'd also cut that to 0-1.

To replace some of these cuts, I suggest more aggressive creatures such as Steppe Lynx as previously mentioned along with Brushfire Elemental . Wayward Guide-Beast is really interesting as well.

For lands, fetch lands would obviously increase the deck's power significantly, but I assume you aren't using them because of budget constraints.

Don't really have anything else to add rn but if I think of smth I'll be sure to tell you.

An interesting card in mono-red burn is Wayward Guide-Beast . There was an archtype called 8-guide for a while that ran him.
