Deck Description

Iam building a deck for my playing with group of friends. I have low budget, so Iam trying to get maximumu efficiency for the lowest cost.

Planning to add in future:

Fetch lands/Wait, GR fetchlands are legacy/vintage only? God dammit!

better duals/lands

eidolon of great revels

spellskite

that 2/2 guy for 3 mana which destroys nonbasic lands(Fulminator mage)

bloodmoon

Chandra, Pyromancer.

So what you see is how it should look in final.

Any suggestion approved of course! ;)
Enjoy!

How to Play

Well... While funny for you while watching your opponent suffer, this deck is really suffering against infect and really fast decks like burn. So, here is the sideboard! Also trinisphere does its work great. :)
So the key is to lock your opponent down on 1 or 2 lands, in best case with Trinisphere on the board. If you don't have trinisphere, lock him on 1 mana instead at any cost. (Boom//Bust works great in this case). You are somewhat vulnerable to fast decks like Infect or Burn, so the sideboard Iam planning is Eidolon of great revels, spellskite (2x), two more trinispheres and some more annoying stuff.

Your sideboard is quite crucial, while you have massive advance against W or U decks with your Flashfires and Boils.
Keep looking for opponents board and play your own game. For whatever he casts on you, you have lightning bolts/terastodon/creeping mold/sideboard.
Your main objective is to play terastodon or deus of calamity. Or both of them.
Terastodon is great, because it clears lands or potentional danger in form of lands, enchants, artifacts or whatever else. It's also a great threat to your opponent and its highly possible, that he will sacrifice his 3/3 to live few turns more.
Value! Value! Value!
Deus of Calamity? Really good card that fits perfectly to this deck. Big creature+trample and land destruction? Hell I would play him even in other R/G decks!

Well, anything I can say for now is here. :)

Deck discussion for G/R modern destroy land

I always like a good dirty land destroy deck. Have you considered Beast Within or Acidic Slime? They have the advantage of hitting either a land or a stacked infect creature/whatever else.

Yeah, I saw them, beast within especially was pretty tempting, but then I decided to take Terastodon.
1. Its a big hitter and I need big hitters.
2. the effect is pretty cool, even if it does not affect creatures it awesome!
3. You can always get rid of elephants with lightning bolts or with terastodon itself.

Beast within is pretty ok, but it does not give you solution to kill the 3/3 since in third turn you are usually dead against infect.
Acidic slime is pretty damn expensive for what it does. I would rather kill it with fire(lightning bolt) or Chandra. Btw. a bit of damage to me isnt really worrying me as I can get rid of it after I destroy mana source which can buff him more than he is.

Thanks for your suggestion! :)
Edit: Added 2 beast within instead of blood moon.
