Sideboard


Black red midrange deck based around the raw power of Stormbreath Dragon and Desecration Demon combined with the removal of black.

Desecration Demon a 6/6 flyer for 4 that has a drawback that is actually a plus.

Herald of Torment a great 3/3 flyer with bestow.

Master of the Feast a 5/5 flyer for 3 is just too aggressive not to put in this deck, even with his downside.

Rakdos's Return I had to find room for this in the mainboard with the addition of the fat demon. It's a hella fun spell anyways, so I was glad to have it in the MB.

Rakdos Cackler this giggly little shit is a 2/2 for 1.

Spike Jester 3/1 haster who can WOP your opponent in the face the first few turns.

Stormbreath Dragon is the best creature in standard in my opinion. He carries games on his own.

Chandra, Pyromaster this planeswalker is a great utility in this deck. She cancels blockers and topdecks dragons, what's not to love?

Dreadbore rakdos hero's downfall at sorcery speed, seems good to me.

Hero's Downfall this is hero's downfall at instant speed, this also seems good to me.

Magma Jet burn baby burn. Now with scry!

Skullcrack burn baby burn, and this time it doesn't heal.

SIDEBOARD EXPLANATION

2x Anger of the Gods for the white weenie matchup, it really keeps those small one drops in check.

1x Dreadbore for any green creature matchup where I need more removal.

2x Erebos, God of the Dead to counter lifegain decks and sphinx's rev decks. The card draw is nice utility too in any matchup if you are comfortable paying the life.

2x Mizzium Mortars to kill blood baron of vizkopa and the cat king brimaz.

3x Skullcrack again, for lifegain and really good value against sphinx's revelation. This wrecks the constellation pillow fort decks as well.

3x Thoughtseize this is necessary against control, almost the entire sideboard for this deck is dedicated to hating control decks.

2x Whip of Erebos this provides lifegain value for your creatures, and offers a way back into the game against supreme verdict.

Round 1 - Naya midrange, I took game 1 convincingly with intimidate and fliers. Game 2 was a loss due to a misplay that caused me to miss lethal (still kicking myself in the ass for this). Game 3 was a loss due to no colored lands. I mulliganed to 5 and kept 2 mutavaults. 1-2 Loss

Round 2 - Mono Black Devotion, he is a fantastic player, I just had perfect draws and took it 2-0

Round 3 - Esper midrange I took it 2-0 as he was using a budget deck and had few answers for my creatures.

Round 4 - Boros Midrange, I took it 2-0 very convincingly. Kill spells > Burn

Round 5 - Boros Burn, I took it 2-0 , Stick a Stormbreath and ride that fucker to victory. And in game 2 I hit a very nasty rakdos's return for 4, it took her cards and her only chance at coming back.

[TOP 8]

Round 6 - Mono Blue Devotion, I was expecting to lose as I was playing one of the best players in my city, he was in first place at the time, I took it 2-0 after perfect killspell draws with D. Demons on the field. (I was so surprised and happy that I won against the Legendary Bronson)

[TOP 4]

Round 7 - White weenies (splash of black), I got destroyed 2-0 because fiedslayer paladin and imposing sovreign are so good against my deck. I got absolutely wrecked. Good games against a good player though, I had fun.

So in the end I got 3rd and went home with 3 packs, not too shabby considering its only a $4 tournament. Overall a good night of magic!
