why would you play mana barbs in a wolfrun deck.....

It's not a really a Wolf-Run deck (there's no way to tutor them, after all), it just has some Kessig Wolf Runs as a nice touch and optional finisher. If I board in Manabarbs, then I would change my playstyle to match.

-2xKoth +2xChandra

I understand what you're suggesting, with the way Chandra, the Firebrand can double-size my wraths, but that's rarely necessary. She was a consideration when building the deck, but it didn't take very long to decide to cut her. However, maybe she can be the sideboard card against Wolf Run Ramp. I'll think about it.

It's nice to have options just in case you run across a unusual deck type, mainly just so you're not caught off guard, plus she is great at doubling a Devil's Play for the win.

And because of the need for that flexibility, I'm becoming more convinced she should take the place of Manabarbs in my sideboard. Thanks for the hot tip.

By the way, Koth of the Hammer is already pretty good at doubling Devil's Play, as you can see from a few of my game descriptions in the update. ;)

I think that is a excellent idea. Besides you don't have any Goblin Fireslingers or Evolving Wilds to feed to a Grim Lavamancer to put out before dropping Manabarbs.

That's how ya playtest a deck right there brotha'..round 1 on game day!...congrats on the 2nd place as well +1

Very interesting. Glad I could inspire you.

Love this deck! nice description too I am in agreement that the barbs should leave in favour of chandra imagine her an koth out at once lolololol enjoy your BLAM to the face

I could see how this deck would wreck the token/delver decks but have a hard time versus the titan strategies.

I'm trying to think of an answer, but once Primeval Titan resolves its pretty much gg.

i suppose casting Dismember then a red wrath would work? but hurt you ofc

Yeah, the best I can usually do is attack into the titan with an animated Mountain while I'm holding burn and hope the opponent finds that kind of 2-for-1 trade acceptable. Unfortunately, if he does buy into the trade, that means he's probably holding something else I'm going to die to. I'm hoping that including Chandra will help, since she can be used to double-size my Slagstorms and Incinerates (or, if she's high enough on loyalty, kill the titan outright).

sounds like with her you will have the most chance you can have! keep a playset of Dismember handy in case :-P

I did some thinking after getting some other advice, and I think I'd rather have Act of Aggression for anti-titan measures. The massive life swing should be enough to bring my opponent into burnable range to end the game. It's something that worked out very well for me while playing a Red deck in a big Standard event right before the release of Innistrad.

I very much enjoy the inclusion of Kessig Wolf Run here. Nobody who played Standard when Worldwake was legal would've thought you could get a Manland to be that huge. Nice.

Act of Treason is cheaper. So is Traitorous Blood.

Neither of those is an instant, however. I like the flexibility, especially since Act of Aggression can be just as cheap if necessary.

Awesome deck! +1 what about <>s instead of incinerates, since theyre the sme thing but better.

That was supposed to be arc trails, don't know why it didn't work.

what about volt charge, it seems like you run alot of counters and volt charging after koth is just evil

Kuldotha Phoenix seems like a good card for this deck, you got enough artifacts to be able to keep recurring him.
