JakeHarlow I made this 75 as my list for the upcoming standard meta and I need some advice from a player who played RDW. What do you think?

This is a great start. I ran RDW for months after Khans of Tarkir dropped, and I won several events with it. I'll go through my initial thoughts. I'll end with a list of cards I'd suggest to drop, and a list of cards I'd suggest to try out.

I know he's considered to be very powerful, but I don't think Goblin Rabblemaster fits here. He's actually rather slow for this deck. If you're looking at a Sligh strategy, he's too high-curve. Also, at 19 lands, 6 3-drops seems heavy. I would cut this card.

A more explosive card for you is most certainly Akroan Crusader, especially since you're running Titan's Strength. I would also suggest Hammerhand alongside this. I know this seems like a lot of stuff, but I'll give suggestions on what to drop, don't worry.

Dragon Whisperer is great for devotion, but I don't see him fitting into your hyper-aggressive curve. You probably won't get that formidable ability to go, and making him evasive is only moderately nice. You're better off using evasion that comes from Hammerhand to give you better value, as it can also trigger heroic and prowess.

I also ran Firedrinker Satyr and ended up deciding that he is kind of inefficient and honestly a liability against quite a few matchups. I cut him for a playset of Wild Slash, which you have. I'll suggest a replacement; don't worry.

For the mainboard, I would suggest dropping:

• -4x Dragon Whisperer

• -4x Firedrinker Satyr

• 2x Goblin Rabblemaster

Add:

• +4x Hammerhand

• +2x Dragon Fodder

• +4x Akroan Crusader

I would also look at Lightning Berserker and Dragon Mantle. Both are very viable RDW pieces. The card draw and mana sink option on the latter are extremely potent. Getting an extra draw can be of vital importance to a Sligh deck. Think of it as a cantrip that enables prowess, heroic, and allows you to trade with a Rhino or something big late-game, or even close out a game. The card is good.

The reason I've suggested more token generator cards (Dragon Fodder, Akroan Crusader) is due to your synergy with Foundry Street Denizen as well as the greater opportunity to Stoke the Flames for free. Watch out for Bile Blight, though.

Your sideboard is mostly good. Abzan is a hard matchup, though, since Rhino, Bile Blight, and Drown in Sorrow are things. You need to address these challenges.

Immediately, drop Temple of Triumph, Outpost Siege, and Purphoros, God of the Forge. I don't know what those lands are for, if not to help you hit these 4-drops. However, these are still quite above your curve and probably not what you want to be doing if you're committing to a Sligh strat.

Here are some better (in my opinion) options:

• Harness by Force: Grab a big creature and attack with it. Late-game it is a very powerful mana sink. Think of it as evasion for your creatures that also deals damage. It's good.

• Scouring Sands: It's great against all the token decks as a one-sided sweeper. I've used it and it is very strong.

• Break Through the Line: Very strong persistent evasion. Frenzied Goblin is also pretty powerful in this role, and he has a promo! :)

• More Searing Blood or a fourth Eidolon of the Great Revel wouldn't be a bad idea. I like the singleton Hall of Triumph as a sideboard bomb.

Thanks for all the advice!

I REALLY like Dragon Whisperer and during tests he is wonderful. T1- Foundry -> T2- Whisperer -> T3- Swiftspear hit all out. Give Flying to Whisperer and Titans Strength him. Thats already 2+2+2+5= 11 by T3.

Goblin Rabblemaster: I get it. During most of my playtests he hits the curve to late and drops in the middle of a Drown/Crux/Anger/End. He is probably gonna be out for another card.

Now for Firedrinker Satyr I will swap for Akroan Crusader for sure. Satyr is slashed/striked/burned all the time and it's a waste of tempo and life.

For the Main I will do this:

-2x Rabblemaster

-4x Firedrinker

For:

+4x Crusader

+2x Hammerhand.

This will be like this for now. What do you think?

Also what do you think of splashing green for bigger creatures and Atarka's Command to deal with lifegain?

As for the mainboard changes, I like them. They're great. Is there any chance to use some devotion plays with Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx? Maybe a single Crater's Claws? Probably a bad idea, I'm just trying to find a way to get value out of the in Dragon Whisperer and Mardu Scout.

Your sideboard changes look very good too.

I agree. Just now I was thinking for better plans to utilize the RR symbols in the main. Also Crusader was sadly a bit slow for me to use and he usually went no where...

As for Devotion I will take out the weenies for Fanatic of Mogis + Stormbreath Dragon and Purphoros, God of the Forge. What do you think of a R/G Aggro/Burn devotion list? I could use g/r cards like Atarka's Command Fanatic of Xenagos Fanatic of Mogis and Shaman of the Great Hunt. Sounds like a fun idea but I may stay in the regular devotion route =)
