Mono Red side

Modern forum

Posted on April 19, 2016, 8:55 p.m. by GeekStinkBreath

I was playing another day, and my opponent, had a lot of creatures with the same effect: When that or another creature dies, you gain 1 life, your opponent, lose 1 of life. He had a lot of creatures, i casted a pyroclasm, okay, table cleanned. And i got a hit like 9 or 10 of damage straight in my life. Anyone knows how to stop that with a mono red side?

I'm guessing it was an ally-like deck. Zulaport Cutthroat or Blood Artist?

The earlier you take those creatures out, the better. They want you to ignore them because they look weak, it's when the board is flooded that they have their greatest impact.

I don't remember exactly, but is the same effect, well, i see. I was thinking about Skullcrack, and Dragon's Claw as a side

4 Skullcrack should be played mainboard as Bolts 17-20. You really need the mainboard hate for lifegain strategies.

Scouty he isn't necessarily playing burn, as alluded to by the fact that he's casting Pyroclasm

My advice is to just Bolt or otherwise remove the Blood Artist before going for a board wipe, or play Anger of the Gods instead because those dudes won't trigger as they're being exiled instead of dying.
