I was there! It's truuuue!! +1

I have a witness :)

HA

Dude, red deck wins was one of the top decks a few weeks ago. Of course adding a splash of black for Falkenrath Aristocrat and sideboard fodder will rock a FNM.

The only thing I'll question about your deck is the inclusion of 4 Rakdos Guildgate . It seems to me that they would slow the deck down, and this deck is all about the fast kill. Just my $0.02

I agree with Zen_Toombs... you're practically mono-red, no need for Guildgates!

Thanks for your input guys allow me to explain the inclusion of the Rakdos Guildgate . It is to have more sources of black mana available without compromising the red mana, since the deck is mostly low CMC red. Also if I need to sideboard more black without having the black mana to support it then it could be a disaster.

What was happening during the FNM was I could play the Rakdos Guildgate during a turn and still cast a one or two CMC card the same turn so there was still tempo.

You guys are right that it could be a source of slowdown however perhaps a necessary evil.

My friend here in georgia runs the same deck, - Vexing Devil s, I think he has Rakdos Shred-Freak s in their place.

Also can say this deck is horrid to play against, scary as all get out but amusing, +1

IMO, Vexing Devil is a touch better than Rakdos Shred-Freak .

Also, I noticed that you have 3-ofs for each of your one drops. Is Fervent Cathar good enough to warrant not having more one drops / an additional Hellrider ?

Vexing Devil vs Rakdos Shred-Freak ? Why not have both !

Ah yes the Fervent Cathar , I was wondering if anyone noticed that card. Its more of an experiment. I managed to cast it 2 times, once there were no other creatures on the board but once there was and it allowed 2 other creatures to swing and still command a strong board presence.

To me its a little variety and something the opponent will not be expecting if they are counting on key blocks.

I just ordered the cards to make this deck, which I will be taking to FNM, awesome deck here.

Thanks man, good luck !

In regards to Rakdos Guildgate , there is a slight mathmatical advantage to replacing the gates with Evolving Wilds and adding one or two Swamp s. Evolving Wilds will thin your deck and decrease the odds of drawing land.

Alright haha I will go down to 2 guildgates and see how it goes

I would rather have Pyreheart Wolf than Fervent Cathar . The cathar is really only relevant the turn you play it then it's just a 3 mana 2/1 whereas the wolf makes each subsequent attack really bad for the opponent.

I had been thinking the same thing. Both fill a similar role though - get damage through.

have you thought just for a bit of fun of adding Thundermaw Hellkite .
