Blood Crypt

Land — Swamp Mountain

(: Add or .)

As Blood Crypt enters the battlefield, you may pay 2 life. If you don't, Blood Crypt enters the battlefield tapped.

Forgot to say what to take out for the three cards above: Green Sun's Twilight, Hull Breach, Lukka, Bound to Ruin. The Twilight is unrealiable until you spend a lot of mana into it. The Breach is sorcery-speed. The planeswalker does not do much here.

Now some small upgrades you can make:

Hello fellow Arena player! +1 just for seeing another Arena player using TappedOut.

One thing that stands out to me immediately is the question of Format.

This deck could be an Explorer deck (thus removing quite a number of potential threats from your opponent) were you to replace Bank Job. The question becomes, is Bank Job good enough to justify moving up to Historic Format over Explorer on its own? In my opinion no, as there are quite a few cards which could help fill this role but wouldn't force you to play an otherwise Explorer deck against Historic (particularly Alchemy) threats. I think not having to consider Historic and/or Alchemy threats would improve the reliability of a lot of your choices here.

Red is full of options for casting additional cards from your deck and/or creating Treasure tokens. Even something like 2x Fable of the Mirror-Breaker  Flip I think would serve you better than Bank Job here as it creates blockers, Treasures potentially, as well as Card Advantage.

Also, if you can, Blood Crypt is far & away a better land option in place of your 4x Blightstep Pathways. It shares basic land synergy with Dragonskull Summit, and unlike the Pathway it's good for more than just 1 color of mana. Also, since you only have one 1-mana spell in the deck, it can make a great Turn 1 play tapped to avoid the damage with your build.

This is perhaps a minor adjustment, but if you've already got 4x Dragonskull it might be worth the investment in the Shock land.

Hope some of this helps! Feel free to add me on Arena (info in my TappedOut profile) should you want to play some games, or just talk deck tech/building, or whatever. Good luck to ya either way!

Aggroking80 - Thanks for the comment. They are there for consistency. I run three dual lands that are "fetchable" (Canyon Slough, Blood Crypt, and Smoldering Marsh) so running multiple fetch lands is viable. Also, even if I have all three out, fetching a basic isn't bad. It filters the deck a little bit and ensures I have my colors.

I proxy my decks first and buy later once they're a little tuned (none of my playgroups care). However, I have found that three fetchlands in any two-color deck is viable and helpful. By all means, though, if money is an object anyone can absolutely change them out for basics

As wallisface said I think the Tron package is the more efficient of the two. I feel Lotus Field takes too much support to properly set up, and at that point Lotus Combo becomes better.

Coming to Caerwyn objection to negative lands usage, what if you tried the lands that tap for any color, instead of the filter lands? (ie City of Brass, Mana Confluence, Gemstone Mine). You save on that few manas while still having access to every color.

My personal thoughts for a deck with big mana and access to all colors is Cabal Coffers and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth with fetches. This would give you all the colors naturally (Godless Shrine, Overgrown Tomb, Blood Crypt, Watery Grave), while thinning your deck due to fetches, AND you have all the colors in a feasible way. Triomes give you access to even more colors.

I would recommend some of the Eldrazi titans, such as Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger as some big top end bombs. Some ramp creatures wouldn't go amiss either, such as Birds of Paradise, and Dryad of the Ilysian Grove.

In terms of Instants, Sorceries, and Enchantments, getting some more of the Ultimatum cycle (Brilliant Ultimatum, Cruel Ultimatum, Emergent Ultimatum) might be a good idea, and Sunbird's Invocation would be a good idea too if you are casting such big CMC cards.

Another recommended addition would be Nicol Bolas, God-Pharaoh as it is just a straight up good card for the colour and big mana theme.

I'd recommend replacing the tapped tri-lands (Arcane Sanctum, Crumbling Necropolis, Frontier Bivouac, Jungle Shrine, Mystic Monastery, Nomad Outpost, Opulent Palace, Sandsteppe Citadel, Savage Lands, and Seaside Citadel) with the shock land cycle (Blood Crypt, Breeding Pool, Godless Shrine, Hallowed Fountain, Overgrown Tomb, Sacred Foundry, Steam Vents, Stomping Ground, Temple Garden, and Watery Grave) as they are easier to fetch for or find with ramp spells.

Final notes: Give the deck a little more of a creature focus, having as few as you have right now you'll find there is very little to hit with your reanimation, but other then that, good job on the first draft! looking forward to see how it plays out!

If you’re running cards like Lightning Bolt and Death's Shadow these cards need to be full play sets. I’d personally go with the full Blood Moon play set as well

Flame Blitz is a sideboard card or meta call.

Hidetsugu Consumes All  Flip offers good utility but I’m not sure 4 MB is the right call. It’s just too slow

As for your mana base, cut the Mana Confluence, there’s no reason to run it in a 2 color deck. I think a few more black fetches should fill that slot. With you’re current setup you’re going to really want T1 Fetch Swamp T2 Fetch Swamp T3 Fetch Blood Crypt which doesn’t play well with double red demands and waiting til turn 4 to get your deck going is too slow. You should consider cutting the Voidwalker all together as it’ll give you a less demanding and more consistent path for your mana base requiring only 1 black mana source over 3 turns to get going

Some other cards that would fit well here are Dark Confidant and Street Wraith

You probably should look for a better 1 drop than Kird Ape, you only have 2 Forests in your deck (Deathcap Glade isn't a Forest for the record). I like Vexing Devil, it's usually good for either 4 damage for R or they use interaction on a 1 drop, both cases are pretty good in my experience. There is also Dragon's Rage Channeler, which is also a strong 1 drop in Red, but it wants more card types to help you hit Delirium sooner, so I prefer Devil in a deck like this. If you took out the Green lands that AFAIK aren't doing much, you can put in a dual land, maybe Sulfurous Springs or Blood Crypt, both are very popular because they come in untapped. Blood Crypt btw is a Mountain, so you can also sacrifice it to Fireblast, which is pretty good upside. If you have the budget for them Fetch lands are really powerful, and could allow you to run more Fireblast (as you'll always pull out non-basics).

YMMV, but I don't like Goblin Guide, it's too small too soon and can give opponent's card advantage, clearing out a bunch of lands can easily be worth the damage from them. It's a popular card in Burn I understand, specifically because you care so much about those few points of extra damage, even if it gives the opponent cards.

Not sure if you can reliably cast it early, but Hymn to Tourach is just devastating to many decks. If you find you face Reanimator decks, I would play Innocent Blood over removal that misses Black creatures, maybe better for the Sideboard. Also, if you've got Ascension online, good old Smallpox feels unbelievable I bet, that's not only killing a creature/land and making them discard, it's also putting 3 things into the bin total for BB. In addition, it also feeds your Kroxa quite efficiently, since it also fills your bin. You might even trim creatures to run Innocent Blood and Smallpox, and just have Kroxa or combo to win, that way you won't worry about killing your own. There are some creature lands and creature artifacts that can be run with Edicts if you still want creature damage for some reason, ranging from Mishra's Factory to Rakdos Keyrune, which is a surprisingly relevant body due to First Strike (and 2 mana to activate is just absurd I find). Still, if you can keep a board clear, Phyrexian Totem is huge for 2B.

Really out there, but if you're going to run lots of Basic lands, you might like Blood Moon, I assure you most opponents in Legacy do not, as most decks revolve around non-basic lands. You should still have access to Swamps, so you might not even notice the effect, but an opponent might not be able to play at all. Again, maybe a Sideboard card, I could see you switching it in, even taking the combo out for if you think the opponent boarded in answers, Blood Moon is a brutal card that wins games all by itself, you just want a body or two out. If you did board in Blood Moon, you could also board in some efficient creatures to close things alongside, tutoring up Blood Moon is kinda scary actually.

Anyways, cool deck, hope some of these weird ideas are food for thought!

Have you ever considered Wizard's Lightning? 10 out of the 12 creatures you're running are wizards anyway and I imagine Bolt > Snap > Bolt is a very common line of play to finish a game with this deck?

Also, I'm curious about the inclusion of Blood Crypt here. If you want to be able to Archmage's Charm by turn 3, wouldn't it be easier to run another Steam Vents and another Watery Grave instead? Especially if you swap out the Bloodstained Mires for Polluted Deltas.

Really love the list, Faeries are a tribe I've been wanting to be good again for a long time.
