She’s gonna punch ya! Make evasive bodies, scale their power, punch hard. Couple this with Popular Entertainer in the late game to send fists flying around the table!

I love what Gut can do — in fact, I love it so much that the skeletons are better than most of the cheap creatures in the deck! Accepting that mono red struggles to scale as well as other colors, I wanted to use goad from the background to synergize with the menace/evasion in the rest of the deck. This should allow me to keep life totals low using the threats that other people have put work into scaling. Additionally, I tried to keep the mana curve very tight. In goldfishing, I’ve found that this lets me trust my top decks — it very rarely bricks on lands or gets punished by awkward mana values.
