-Etali, Primal Storm

+Risk Factor

Etali is cool but Risk Factor is strickly better in that draw card slot. While Browbeat style effects are not generally super powerful Neheb capitalizes on both sides of it in a way that makes them auto includes.

I am also eyeing Maximize Velocity as a good haste outlet but am not sure what to cut for it.

I've been running an Ancient Tomb in the mana base and it's helped immensely. Otherwise, i'm running the same list as you with great success!

Majestic_Clown So glad the deck is working for you! I did consider Ancient Tomb when I was building it but I did have serious concerns about the number of colorless mana sources vs colored mana sources since the deck does need double red ASAP. If it has been working for you though I may try the same (once I remember where I put my playset).

Kaleo42 it's been fun, it's such a glass canon deck. I'm thinking of adding Glorious End to shut down players who go on an all in turn. Not sure what to take out for it.

Magus of the Moon is only good if your meta includes a lot of nonbasics so that would be the first one I would look at switching for Glorious End. Release the Gremlins is also generally not the strongest if your opponents are moving too fast.
