The first is that standard of Magic, present in almost every format ever, the Red aggro deck, often called Red Deck Wins (or RDW for short). RDW tries to play the cheapest most efficient damage-dealing cards in any given format. They look both for pure damage potential, for example, Lava Spike does three damage for one mana; quite a deal. They also are concerned about efficiency. That Lava Spike is nice when you need to deal three to your opponent’s head, but what about when your opponent decided to drop a turn two Watchwolf, suddenly putting out a permanent source of three damage a turn? Cards like, Lightning Bolt which hits creatures AND players, Seal of Fire, which you can cast, then leave it until you need to either kill a creature, or drill a player, and Firebolt, which you can use early and late, all are examples of efficiency and utility. | |

that quick kill walkthrough against a blue (tog?) deck is unfortunately a joke. Why would anyone burn 2 life with a shockland just to counterspell an incinerate? That's totally stupid. Also there's no reason why he didn't fetch for just an island to avoid another 2 life point hit during his 1st turn since he has another shockland in hand already.
From talking to him later, I think it was counter-balance tog yes. His reaction was, "Nice deck." I said something to defend it, "It won right? No offense," and he complained it was a kinda janky deck that didn't have much of a chance against most Classic decks except for with a lucky draw, and wasn't very original. Honestly, I think he was a little contempual of the deck, and didn't play his tightest. You are correct though, those weren't the finest plays, and I'll try to give 10 match sets in the future, for a little more reference, and more varied look at deck's performances.
I just wanted to agree with the burn decks in classic. Brutal! I run:
4 Spark Elemental, 4 Raging Goblin, 4 Firebolt, 4 Lightning Bolt, 4 Shock, 4 Incinerate, 4 Lighting Serpent, 4 Ball Lightining, 4 Blistering Firecat, 4 Lava Spike, 1 Firecat Blitz. 21 Mountains.
The toughest decks to deal with are built around Counterspells. Not much trouble with others.
I might suggest running 3-4 Barbarian Rings in that list, just to give you that extra bit of reach (And they're harder to counter!) Just a thought though.
kinda nice articles but the playthu's dont really do it for me.
All sounds very theoratical.
I mean, why does the RDW win turn 4 vs the threshold but cant win in 5 turn vs the affinity.
Isnt 24 lands a bit much for affinity anyway?
lookiong forward for part 2
The walkthroughs were just a couple of replays from notes from testing that demonstrated decent, but not AWESOME (for the most part) draws on the part of each deck, showing the capability to fight back, and in that game, RDW just didn't have the gas. 24 Lands is high for Affinity, the white lands would probably be the first to drop in favor of something such as Myr Enforcer or more 0CC artifacts that "do things"; that's not a super-tuned or teched out list, just an approximentation of the "average" list you might run into in a PE. Thanks for your feedback, and I'll work on the playthroughs. What would you like to see from them that would make them more entertaining or insightful?
Not to steal Walker's thunder, but RDW wins faster against thresh (and many decks) due to the pain involved in playing a deck that relies on fetchlands + ravnica duals. Essentially the Threshold deck starts at 15 life, which is an easy target for such red decks. I imagine he'll go more in depth with this later. This was one of my largest lamentations about the real Duals not being in MED1. A complaint which has apparently come to fruition, based on the last Classic PE (Burn deck won it all)
As for Affinity... many decks are changing their construction to better fight through hate. One such card being run is (sorry) Tarmogoyf. It's brutal in Affinity, survives hate and actually gets stronger if most of the hate resolves... just ridiculous.
Looking forward to part 2!
No matter what anyone says, I hope you don't change your opinion and walk your path. If you change, it'll hurt my heart.메이저놀이터
