Mono-red gets a bad reputation in EDH. No real ramp, card draw, non-damage sweepers, enchantment removal, card advantage, etc. etc. etc. Perhaps. But what if everyone was forced down to our level?

Players drawing lands other than basic mountains? Play Ruination, make 'em play mono-red. Players using Urborg and Coffers? Play Blood Moon, make 'em play mono-red. Opponents drawing cards like crazy? Play Omen Machine, make 'em play mono-red. Players keeping a hand? Play Uba Mask and Wheel of Fortune, make 'em top deck like mono-red. Players playing creatures that actually do things? Play Cursed Totem, make 'em play mono-red.

Forcing attacks, taxing players, ruining card draw, we are playing mono-red control. I would love any suggestions you have to offer. Although I'm never taking out Keldon Necropolis. I know it's bad and I don't care.
