Description

I was able to elevate from the Platinum to the Diamond using this deck in the December 2020 season on the M:tG Arena. The win rate was 66%.

I was able to elevate from the Diamond to the Mythic using 2.0 version of this deck ( https://aetherhub.com/Deck/Edit/406480 ) in the November 2020 season on the M:tG Arena. Win rate dropped to 61%.

The main idea is to make classic mono-red aggro playable in the mid- and late- game. First of all, I needed to develop a card draw after Light Up the Stageimage was rotated. And here it is Valakut Explorationimage and Nahiri's Lithoformingimage! I tried those cards in different kinds of Landfall decks and they did not work well. Here they do the job. Another change compared to aggro variants is a land count: 24 “classic” lands and a lot of double-faced cards. All this mana utilized via Phoenix of Ashimage, kicked Roil Eruptionimage, and Leyline Tyrantimage.

All the direct damage spells can target a player and finish a close game. So there is no Fire Prophecyimage and all other Thundering Rebukeimages: direct damage must target not only the board but the opponent too.

Sideboard notes. Ox of Agonasimage is great against Rogues. Shatterskull Chargerimage is a way to escape control decks’ board wipes. It also works nicely with the Terror of the Peaksimage. Shredded Sailsimage is against Rogues, Embercleaveimage, The Great Hengeimage. Why Anax, Hardened in the Forgeimage is not in the main? Because Phoenix of Ashimage has haste, is flying, good against rogues and all the removal spells in the meta.

What I tried and removed from the deck: Torbran, Thane of Red Fellimage, Relic Robberimage.

What I want to try: Volcanic Geyserimage, Ugin, the Spirit Dragonimage.
