So this is my new modern deck. I built it after a friend told me I was most comfortable playing B/R decks. So I took it upon myself to make a build that made B/R work it's best without having to splash another color like green or white. I definitely had a goal in mind and that was to make an aggro deck that was resilient but effective.

I've played it a few times and took it to 1 local modern event with a competitive player base. The decks I've played against are:

Grixis Death Shadow
Jund
Eldrazi-Tron
Merfolk
Mono-Red Pheonix

I've managed to beat these decks in my tests. There are obviously other decks I really need to test against to get a better idea of how the deck truly performs.

Overall I feel the deck holds up well against the current meta and manages to get in damage early and make blocking credibly unfavorable especially with Judith on the battlefield.

I am definitely going to be testing it harder as time goes on and will be taking it to a IQ at the end of the month to see how well it can hold up.

I will say after the firm competitive environment my sideboard changed completely as I realized decks I thought would be problematic were not hard to deal with at all.
