I know it's pretty rough, but seems like playing as many 1 mana = 3 damage cards as possible gets us closer to turn 3 kill than turn 4. So if we cut boros charm, then we can go straight R/B. Is charm good enough to add white for mardu? How crazy am I? Is this fast enough to make up for the power level of not having Eidolon, helix, etc? We should be fine on life gain between Gonti's Machinations and Sovereing's Bite. Machinations should be easy to trigger with fetches and our opponent. There is some tension between playing Machinations or Guide/Swiftspear on turn 1, so that may be too much of a problem. Mana base needs some work from someone much smarter than me. Feedback and constructive criticism would be much appreciated! I know it's not the "correct" RWg build, but might as well see if it's worth exploring. Thanks!
