Don't touch the fire, it's HOT!

Standard* Aggro Budget Mono-Red

Shahrazad


Aggro with a few options. With Purphoros, God of the Forge out the deck can be nasty. With a Young Pyromancer out and Purphoros, God of the Forge playing Molten Birth gets you 3 1/1 elementals and deals 6 damage to each opponent. Legion Loyalist makes your attacking creatures slightly more painful by giving them first strike and trample. Ash Zealot is a nice card as it already has first strike and haste and is double red for devotion. Burning-Tree Emissary is nice for devotion and it pays for itself. Fanatic of Mogis can end someone with an easy devotion of 5-6 that can be the final hit to someone. Rakdos Cackler can be nice for one drop 2/2, I would like to replace them but don't know better one drops as I haven't played extensively in standard.Hammer of Purphoros isn't the greatest card as many of the creatures have haste already but it is double red for devotion and gives you an option to sacrifice Mountains (as they are useless if you have too many). Dragon Mantle can be nice as there with Legion Loyalist enchanted creature can have first strike and trample quite easily, giving you adequate use of extra Mountains that are untapped. Magma Jet can help you remove creatures and better manipulate the top of your library. Lightning Strike is mostly in there for a small amount of spot removal.

The deck lives on the 2 mana curve some suggestions for 1 drops in standard would be nice. I would love to run Boros Reckoner and Chandra, Pyromaster but I'm keeping the cost of the deck down.
