If you like aggro decks and really love the capabilities of Collected Company, this deck is for you. Granted its a weird bastard offspring of a RDW and a Collected Green Devotion, but hey its ok -- we accept all in the Magic Community. Also this G/R collected aggro deck is going to blow your budget but hey, if you want to run G/R these days there's really no way around it.
Alrighty then, lets get to the goods. This deck is heavily designed off of Martin Dang's Red Aggro (with a splash of green), accept this one has some great defensive measures... that could also be offensive? Yes that's right, Collected Company really allows the perfect synergy.
So your one drops: Monastery Swiftspear is your best friend for this deck but don't worry if you miss the one drop, shes still crazy useful later on.
Two Drops: Ok this deck, if it has a fault, it would have to be the two drops because it has some but they are really questionable if they should be played or saved. So prove your worth and be make those pro decisions. Regardless Lightning Strike is there for some fast burn damage and Shaman Ire is also waiting to make some hard to block swings and help out mid/late game if needed. But this deck also has one super nice 2 drop, which most seem to hate but should really love and its Atarka's Command. Now this card is regularly considered the worst command and it really shouldn't be since it works very well in an aggro based token deck. Think about it- all those 1/1 goblins get pumped and you deal 3 damage?! It's beautiful if you think about it. Not to mention it can stop life gain for a turn, and in an aggro deck that could mean EVERYTHING. So yay for that card - haters gonna hate.
Three Drops: This is your bread and butter. The place were you play some serious creatures and in an aggro with red we all know I'm referring to everyone's favorite, Goblin Rabblemaster. This deck couldn't forget Hordeling Outburst either to really make things get out of control fast. After all, no one brings uninvited guests like goblins do.
So Nice ok, so we can spawn tons of little goblins and out run them ... but wait Flamewake Phoenix? I mean sure it has haste, and flies ok nice that works right? Ok that works well, especially with Collected Company but also Fanatic of Xenagos is running strong in this deck and that makes a ton of sense because nothing says oh shit like a collected company that pulls either a 4/4 trample creature or a one turn 4 attack swing with haste and trample! So Yeah sure those two definitely make a ton of sense, but hold up Deathmist Raptor?! In an Aggro!? ... ... ... well yes. Its a brilliant card and we all love it but don't put Deathmist Raptor in a corner. If Deathmist Raptor wants to be in an aggro deck who are we to judge? --- But in all seriousness all of these three drop cards are in this deck because they are honestly solid cards that can hold their own should plans go wrong and work beautifully for the four drop Collected Company.
Four Drop: Now no token based aggro deck is complete without Stoke the Flames so thats set. But this deck brings aggro into a weird synergy of aggressive and deffensive with the introduction of Collected Company. Use it offensively and through out 2 Goblin Rabblemasters or 2 Flamewake pheonixs. Use it defensively and bring out 2 Deathmist Raptors. Or whatever combination the magic gods give. Regardless this card can make an already dire situation into a devastating one as it floods the fields with things scarier than tokens. Plus the instant speed really makes it the perfect card for any situation - as long as some luck is on your side.
I probably could have explained it better but its late and I should be studying for my final tomorrow. But I hope you realize how sexy this deck can be and yes the sideboard is carefully chosen as well - I'll leave you to figure out why each card is there.
HOWEVER, I'm still building this deck so if you have any ideas or opinions let me know --> ESPECIALLY for the sideboard.
