My own list of the popular Kari Zev Red Deck Wins French Duel Commander archetype. This list is semi-budget, and is quite cheap considering the thousands of dollars that most French Duel Commander lists cost. This deck was played weekly for about a year until the store that was having the tournaments closed. Note that this list is for French Duel Commander and not for MTGO Duel Commander, though it might perform well there too. The strategy is simple but very effective, just like how you would play Red Deck Wins in any other format, by burning out your opponent. It's pretty essential that you are playing in a 1v1 20 life format, as bringing this list to a multiplayer game or playing with 40 life make it pretty much nonviable. It can get around a little life gain with help from Rampaging Ferocidon and Skullcrack, but more substantial life gain, heavy control or a white weenie list with a Kor Firewalker out can cause you major headaches.
