Topic: [Standard]RDW

So I am looking for some opinions on this RDW build http://deckbox.org/sets/575553

I'm not really sure about firefist striker and hammer of purphoros , also is 3 Mutavault overkill? should I just run 2 ?

Thanks

Re: [Standard]RDW

i think the deck should either focus on speed and interactions with Chandra's Phoenix, or devotion and Fanatic of Mogis, but u should test it ..

Re: [Standard]RDW

why not run 4 mutavaults?  they're great in the deck.

I agree with monster.  I think you need to restructure your build to either take more advantage of the devotion mechanic (IE: reckoner, frostburn weird, burning tree and the synergies that can exist there) or go really low and fast with akroan crusader and something like madcap skills.

yup, running 4 is definetly ok. only problem here is casting reckoner on turn 3 if you have two mountains and a vault.

the deck was a close choice for a ptq last month since it has nice sideboard options, but the builds had rather a schizophrenic character/game-plan since you had to decide each time what route to go for the win..

Small problem with the value you can extract from them wink

Also, keep in mind that a lot of the red "devotion" decks are on the splash for white/green for some scry lands and access to things like domri/boros charm.  Both can provide excellent advantages depending on your meta.

Re: [Standard]RDW

did some testing yesterday and on a number of occasions could not cast Boros reckoner on the 3rd turn because I had 2 mountains and a mutavault , which lead to loss of tempo  .

I will try using only 2 in the deck see how that works .

Re: [Standard]RDW

updated the deck , http://deckbox.org/sets/575553

what's your opinion on searing blood ? better or worse than magma jet in this build ?

thanks
