My take on Mono-Red Dragons (Won EMN GameDay) by OminousRex.

By the way, until T/O gets the cards updated: Hanweir Garrison + Hanweir Battlements → Hanweir, the Writhing Township

MAINBOARD CHANGES:

In: 3x Collective Defiance; 4x Mountain
Out: 2x Draconic Roar; 1x Hanweir Garrison; 4x Utility lands

SIDEBOARD:

Arlinn Kord vs. Ground-based Midrange
Atarka's Command vs. Lifegain and Aggro
Evolutionary Leap vs. Heavy removal
Exquisite Firecraft vs. Blue
Lightning Berserker vs. Aggro and Sorcery-speed removal
Naturalize vs Fevered Visions, Pyromancer's Goggles, Silkwrap, Stasis Snare, etc
Rending Volley vs Angels, Spirits, etc
Scab-Clan Berserker vs Spells

MAYBEBOARD:

Act of Treason: Sideboard option, for Emrakul and other bombs
Aerial Volley: Sideboard option, for Spirits
Burn from Within: Sideboard option, for grindy matches
Foundry of the Consuls and Haven of the Spirit Dragon: Other Utility land options for the mainboard

Huge kudos to OminousRex for the original brew, and to michael921 (as always) for insights and ideas!

Wed Night Magic: 1-2 — Aug. 17, 2016

Edit

Despite going 1-2, I really enjoyed the deck ... think I'll be playing this for the rest of EMN!

Some notes ...

2-0 vs. Jund Emerge: I'm pretty sure I was playing against this list, and I blew it away both games. I brought in 3x Lightning Berserker for Game 2 (figuring my opponent would bring in every piece of removal he had, and Dash makes them immune to Sorceries), and they did a ton of work.
0-2 vs BR Vamps: This was a blistering fast deck, and a terrible matchup. 3x Lightning Berserker helped in Game 2, but it wasn't enough. And though I brought in Atarka's Command, I never cast it. Looking back, I really wish I had some 1-mana removal ... something like Fiery Impulse, Galvanic Bombardment, or Aerial Volley.
1-2 vs RG Ramp: This was a much better match-up than the record indicates. Game 1 was an easy win, Game 2 I was stuck on 2 lands (from my opening hand) until I was down to 5 life (and by that time it was way too late), and Game 3 started with a terrible mul' (I kept a 5-card hand with 1 land rather than going to 4 ... I still believe that was the right call, but it wasn't going to be an easy game either way). I brought in 2x Scab-Clan Berserker (to get some benefit from my opponent's ramp spells) and 2x Evolutionary Leap (figuring he'd bring in more removal) but didn't cast any of them.
