Old Standard

None of these cards are playable in modern. You're better off just starting fresh.

It's most similar in style to a modern Red Deck Wins but.... none of the cards you have are at all playable in the modern version so you'd have to start fresh.

By not playable do you guys mean not competitive? Because I've played against modern decks with this one and it performed well.

Aggro decks in modern want to win t3 or t4. To do that they generally avoid 3 mana creatures and other stuff. Almost all of the creatures they play have haste. Almost all of the instants and sorceries do 3 damage for 1 mana. At the moment yours do 2 for 1 mana or 3 for 2 mana.

That's burn. Other aggro decks include Affinity and Zoo, which are a little bit less extreme, but still play a much lower curve than you are.

Yeh you are correct. I started talking about burn / rdw because the deck in questions looks a lot like a red aggro deck anyway.

Well thanks everybody for the responses guess i'll be saving this one for casual play with my friends and will make a new deck from scratch.
