Deck Description

Original List: http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/battle-zendikar-event-deck-and-intro-packs-2015-09-24

I bought this deck for a friend who wanted to start playing magic. We all thought that he would like green best but when we told him the strength each color has he surprised us by voting for black/ red.

I did some changes to the deck from the beginning to make it a little bit more competitive against modern decks:
+2 Forerunner of Slaughter
-2 Kozilek's Sentinel
+1 Sludge Crawler
-1 Vestige of Emrakul

Further changes will have to wait until I saw the deck in action.

This deck has never been played against another deck. Regardless I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to improve this deck.
I'm sorry for my bad English, but I'm no native speaker.

How to Play

This deck works with the 'Ingest' mechanic. By exiling cards from your opponent you can use strong spells that un-exile those cards but bring you some advantage. "Mind Raker" or "Processor Assault" are good examples.

Deck discussion for B/R Standard: Eldrazi Assault

I tested a quite similar deck with
4 Dust Stalker
4 Hangarback Walker
2 Drana, Liberator of Malakir
And overall 4 Ghostfire Blade.

All those cards could easily remplace some less efficient. Ghostfireblade make this deck able to be call "Aggro"

This is more or less what I made of it:

Remove:
- Dominator Drone (most)
- Mind Raker (all)
- Vestige of Emrakul (most)
- Serpentine Spike (Sideboard it)

Added:
+ 1x Skitterskin
+ 1x Wasteland Strangler
+ 1x Ulamog's Despoiler (real beast when you exile 2 cards!!)
+ 1x Sludge Crawler
+ 1x Gruesome Slaughter (or Grip of Desolation)
+ 1x Silent Skimmer

Maybe I also removed a single land and added a Culling Drone.

Sadly that friend of mine didn't ever play this deck until now so I never saw it in action and thus also can't tell what it plays of behaves.

A friend of mine had a bit similar deck once. It performed nicely and seemed like fun deck to play. He had some twist in that deck as he had Thought-Knot Seer and Eldrazi Displacer in it also and some other cards that gave synergy to those (some ETB triggers and some card advantage/control).

+1 for the deck from me.
