Ookafont on Kiln Infect (RB Kiln Pauper)

hey I love this build! great take on fiend, with the extra commitment to black and more creatures I could see this playing much more consistent than regular fiend. Although if I could make a reccomendation, maybe Burning Prophet might be better than Ghitu Amplifier. yea it doesnt have the damage output but scrying is helpful to get the real heavy hitters out quick.

storm build prosper is very fun indeed :)

i have found Dragon's Rage Channeler Burning Prophet and Quicksmith Genius to be quite helpfull in my storm build. The quicksmith is probably even nicer in yours as you can take advantage of the discard.

some alternative finishers to concider Aria of Flame Sentinel Tower.

I'm gonna steal your idea of Pentad Prism, didn't have that one in my list yet!

Really dig this deck. I wonder if Burning Prophet would be a good addition?

If you were in white or blue Soul Summons or Ethereal Ambush would do a lot with the landcyclers. Teach by Example would offer a way to copy thunder which is cool.

Regular cycling would offer wrath at instant speed, but I'm not sure that's great. Burning Prophet is interesting, as it both likes the recycling and bolt/wrath. A single Spore Frog in the side will make some opponents quit as you become fog tribal. You can achieve a similar effect with Stone Rain and friends against decks that need lands.

Warped Landscape and Ash Barrens give access to shuffle despite being lands and not forcing a shuffle if you can manage the colourless mana.

RambIe on None

I have to back enpc on this one izzet is a superior choice
I ran 15 copys of Dragon's Approach in my deck and had no problems chaining off by utilizing cards like Niv-Mizzet, Parun & Archmage Emeritus
as for Thrumming Stone odd's of 1 in 4 of a 100 card deck is 25 cards. but things never run that smooth so in a mono red deck that needs this to be a guaranteed hit i would run odds of 1 in 3 (33 cards) then stack by odds with cards like Dragon's Rage Channeler & Burning Prophet

Vessiliana on Feather, the Redeemed

First off, I envy you your opportunity to play Feather! My meta hated her so much they straight up begged me to retire her.

I definitely recommend some of the little cantrips, like Rile. I also found Burning Prophet to be great, and I had a bit of an heroic sub-theme, so Anax and Cymede were in it, and Zada, Hedron Grinder from your maybeboard did real work. I also think that Storm-Kiln Artist will be your best friend ever.

Grubbernaut on Best Red Creatures?

In a land destruction list, Boarding Party will definitely be the best and should be a 4-of.

That being said, you want all your creatures to be win-cons; deny resources until you're ahead, then go for the kill. I don't think Burning Prophet is where you want to be in a list like that; you'll struggle to get more than one trigger in a turn.

Beetleback Chief is okay; you could also consider something like Self-Assembler for card advantage.

With all of that, though, R/G is definitely going to be more powerful if you're chasing wins - but as a terminal brewer, I understand the desire to diverge. :)

Cheers!

Lowenstein on Best Red Creatures?

3 years ago

I am working on a Mono R land destruction list. Just like in Modern, the issue is being able to win. I have 4 Burning Prophet which work pretty well, and 4 Beetleback Chief and 2 Boarding Party . I guess the reason why people run RG land destruction is bc of ramo and better creatures, but I’m enjoying experimenting with mono R.

So that being said, are there any better red creatures in Pauper? Probably ones with cmc 3 or higher that can help finish the game?
