(moved my comment here instead of putting it on the group page, just fyi)

I've not had direct experience with the fury, but I imagine it will function in the same way any Winds of Change effect would in EDH. The fact that it has the other option to deal straight damage is useful to a point, but at five mana the best place for it I imagine would be in a Nekusar style build that can take advantage of either choice. Neheb doesn't get enough value unless you build to accommodate it.

Jaya Ballard on the other hand is a great all around type of card, as long as you focus on instants and sorceries. Your build doesn't even have 20 between the two types of spells (at this time), so if you ran Jaya it would be exclusively for her draw effect most of the time. That immediately puts her in a bad place of either being a dead card most of the time, or warping your deck into something you've not designed it to be. Even her three red cost only helps out your Nykthos land so that isn't much of a plus.

All in all I wouldn't recommend either one for your Neheb build, but if you plan on making a mainly red spell-slinger deck then either spell you ask about should be useful.

TheRedGoat thanks for the thoughts! After some play testing, I agree with you on Jaya. I thought she'd be good but turns out you were right on all counts. I still have high hopes for Fury though!

No update yet, but for anyone interested here are some changes to look forward to!

Out: Jaya Ballard, Price of Glory, Loreseeker's Stone, Nim Deathmantle, Akroma's Memorial

All potentially on the line to make room for the testing of Treasure Nabber, Endless Atlas, Enchanter's Bane, Sunbird's Invocation.

Here you go!

Chandra, the Firebrand This card may be a sneaky good card for your deck. Chandra, the Firebrand + Savage Beating uses both modes. It also works well with most of your sorcery spells like Acidic Soil, Chandra's Ignition and Kaboom!.

Hey, trying this list out as it sounds like fun. I'm missing a few things though, so I went through my binder and found some maybe obscure things. What do you think of Fury of the Horde? Sometimes free combat step. And also, Godo, Bandit Warlord. Equipment tutor and extra combat step provider, kinda.

I recommend you add some artifact removal like abrade, vandalblast, by force, meltdown, etc . You will find yourself against some artifacts that you cannot come back from without removing them from time to time, and also to inhibit your opponents first few turns where they are ramping up. In addition your deck is quite slow and could use some more mana ramp like seething song, pyretic ritual, mana vault, mana crypt, fellwar stone etc..

Wow it's actually been months since I've looked at comments! My period of neglect has ended!

gdemay thanks for the suggestion! Chandra Firebrand is just okay... her +1 is near useless and her copy ability just isn't as good as a Reiterate of Fury Storm.

wrinklykiller did you ever actually try the list out? Curious about your experiences. Fury of the Horde is okay, I usually find this deck is too bare-boned to exile two cards from my hand. Godo is awesome but just not really going with my gameplan. Thanks for the comment!

shadowmage artifacts aren't really a big deal in my small playgroup. I always pack some removal if I'm going somewhere else though. This deck regularly gets turn 7-8 wins and can occasionally win on turn 4, so calling it "quite slow" is inaccurate :)

This deck is probably the 2nd fastest deck in my play group, so any faster and it might become hated, which is not what this deck needs politically. That said I am did break down and buy a Mana Vault recently and it'll probably find it's way in here. Thanks for the comments!

i've been wondering, Would Experimental Frenzy do any good? Been pondering it in my own build, since it is the kind of nieche card-draw we mono-red players are looking for. Haven't been able to try it myself either, but it looks pretty good, especially late-game, when the deck can get low on gas.

I'm also trying out Risk Factor , Thoughts? It seems pretty solid, better then Browbeat from my experience since Risk Factor is targeted (thus can be used more politically), and has jump-start. Generally i tend to only cast it with neheb out though, otherwise it's difficult to get solid value out of it.

Also, i'm missing Gamble in your list, is there a reason it's not here?

TrueLycan I'd say no on experimental frenzy. Hit a land(or 2 if you haven’t played a land) and you’re done for the turn :(

I like risk factor, but I feel like I’d only ever want the card draw, and the would never happen unless neheb was out and it’s late enough in the game that 4 or 8 damage becomes scary. Might still be worth trying out.

The lack of Gamble comes from a personal dislike for it, call it an “anti-pet card” if you will. I guess I’ve been screwed over mornethat I’ve been helped by it haha! Also I dislike tutors in general; it’s just part of my personal deck building philosophy that I won’t bore you with now :)
