Sideboard


Red Deck Wins

This RDW list is primarily using Wizard creatures for Wizard's Lightning to have that Lightning Bolt feeling in Pioneer!

The Prowess creatures are great for being able to attack and then at instant speed have access to burn spells for removing blockers or just direct damage. Dreadhorde Arcanist gets more value out of Shocks in the graveyard; and Slickshot Show-Off has SUPER PROWESS with Haste and evasion that can seemingly just go nuclear closing out game really quickly!

At the top end of the mana curve I'm using Chandra, Dressed to Kill for both hitting harder as well as helping the deck keep going in games that go longer than RDW likes. Magmatic Channeler also fills this role as a pseudo "Goyf" or just digging through the topdeck to prevent the deck from running out of gas.

This deck list could honestly run all Basic Mountain with your perffered artwork and be perfectly happy. Ramunap Ruins/Den of the Bugbear are included here as last ditch effort for more damage to help close out games.

The Sideboard is mostly just placeholder cards... I'm not really sure what's going on/what works at my LGS currently.

Updates Add

I let this deck decay due to a lack of Pioneer play at my LGS but due to renewed interest I thought I would revisit this deck now that "new" tools are available via Foundations (Burst Lightning/Boltwave) and Thunder junction (Slickshot Show-Off). So far this is what the list is looking like in preparation for this weekend.
