My New Red Deck (Custom)

Postby LordMalekTheRedKnight » Sat Dec 27, 2008 5:45 pm

Hey all :)

with our trips to Birmingham and Nottingham coming up, i thought it was time to update my Red deck. something to note is that Kate and I have decided not to plunder the ready-made 10th ed Themedecks or the Jace vs Chandra Dueldecks for cards for our customised decks, so this is made solely from cards from the 9th ed starter sets and the various boosters we have bought. unfortunately this means it is a little light on Lands (there are about 11 more cards in the deck than there should be, to get the recommended Lands:Cards ratio).

luckily there arent any massive costs in this deck (not like my Green deck), and also there are a couple of cards that let me take Lands back into my hand to play them again (a tip i learnt from the J vs C leaflet: tap lands to pay for a card that makes you take lands back, then remove a tapped land, play it and then use it again to pay for somethine else). there are also plenty of cheap creatures too - so hopefully Land shouldnt be too much of a problem.

the deck has 2 different themes that should give me lots of options, and give opponents plenty to worry about. firstly, it deals damage directly to players and/or creatures (and lots of it), and secondly it powers up some big hard hitting creatures to do damage that way too. its also got plenty of fliers, and some good defense against retaliation.

without further ado, here is the list:

there were a few cards that didnt make the cut (Stream Hopper, Ogre Taskmaster, Hill Giant, Goblin Raider, Noggle Ransacker), but without any more Mountains i didnt want to push my luck any further.

what do you think? to those with a bit more experience than me, do you think it would stand up in your normal 'friendly' games? :?:

cheers in advance :)
