This decklist always gives me nostalgia from the good old days when you could play skred red and not have to worry about unfair decks like fricking arclight pheonix or hardened scales affinity. You know modern is in a bad place right now because older skred lists can't really hold their own any more. Anyways, this deck has lots of spot removal, a full four bolts and four skreds, to point at anything that hits the wrong side of the board. Then there are multiple sweepers,
Slagstorm
and
Anger of the Gods
to help against wide strategies. For extra defense, skred lists usually run four blood moons, as they can stall or even end games in certain matchups. For some utility, we play
Mind Stone
,
Simian Spirit Guide
, and
Relic of Progenitus
. The first two help ramp while the third is just great in general against many decks in the meta, and the card draw isn't bad either.
Chandra, Torch of Defiance
and
Koth of the Hammer
are the planeswalker threats, providing some ramp, burn, and utility. Both of their ultimates can work as win conditions. Pia and kiraan nalaar walk the line between utility and threat. They are mainly used to poke down creatures, but swinging for four and then doing another four damage with their second ability, all with no other board presence, it pretty powerful.
Eternal Scourge
is just super annoying. He provides the resilience that this deck needs to beat control matchups. Even if they hit him with an
Anger of the Gods
, you can exile him with
Relic of Progenitus
and cast him again.
Stormbreath Dragon
is the final threat, closing out games against most control decks. It is actually quite easy to get konstrosity, what with the ramp cards along with Koth's -2 and Chandra's +1.
