This is a really interesting idea I caught from a line in a song where someone shuffles all 15 sideboard cards into their deck to "mix it up", and I thought "What if I make a deck where the strategy is to change 15 cards and make it a different deck?" and so I've done that here. The mainboard is an aggro/RDW strategy, where you get fast creatures and burn your opponent's fast creatures. The sideboard (changing it in for your faster creatures) makes this a more midrange deck. The idea is that when your opponent sideboards to counter an aggro deck in game two, you switch to midrange and they're caught off-guard. For game three, go with whatever is better against the other deck.

There are cards that stay in for both strategies (obviously). Torbran, Thane of Red Fell, Stonecoil Serpent, Embercleave, Anax, Hardened in the Forge, and Bonecrusher Giant should probably stay, along with most/all of your burn. So, sub out Tin Street Dodger, emberhauler, Fervent Champion, some/all irrelevant reverlers, and 1-3 flex slots for whatever doesn't work/isn't a good matchup.

It's really interesting to see if this will work against... Anything really. It's slightly jank, but if you do it right, and with some modifications, I think this could be a good deck. What this deck really needs is some enchantment hate. I have some artifact hate, but enchantments slide right by everything.

Anax is bae — Jan. 28, 2020

Took out 2x Stonecoil Serpent and 2x Robber of the Rich for 4x Anax, Hardened in the Forge. Taking out cards from an already-made decklist always hurts me, and both these cards are ones I've been trying to find places for in the meta, so ouch, but I think this will increase the power-level of the deck.
