Deck Description

[u]Basic Idea[/u]
This deck is intended for first-time players. To make a beginner friendly deck I decide to keep the deck extra simple, so that the new player can focus on getting to know the rules, tactics and understanding what's going on.
Mono red decks that try to defeat the opponent as fast as possible are called Red Deck Wins (RDW). I thus tried to concentrate on burn, fast creatures and some card-advantage.

[u]Cardpool and Budget[/u]
Mass-strengthening-effects (+x/+x to all creatures) and cards with multiple effects are not allowed. Lands are limited to Common's and Uncommon's, no Rare's or Mythic's. Other cards are limited to Common's, Uncommon's and 1 Rare (max. 4 copies) per deck, no Mythic's.
The overall budget should be between 15 to 20$. (Estimated mid value).

[u]Upgradeability/ Room for improvements[/u]
This deck is bound to a general strategy, named "Aggro", where you attack your opponent with powerful creatures as fast as you can.
As this is a general strategy, in opposite to concentrating on a certain keyword or tribe, it should be easy to improve the cards uses in this deck and to keep the deck up to date. New editions will often contain cards that can be fitted into this deck.

[u]Tests[/u]
I have tested this deck against other beginner decks. The decks I tested against are a mixture of Control and Aggro and the result are recorded in a spreadsheet. If you're interested in details from the spreadsheet, feel free to ask.

I'm open to all suggestions and ideas that may help to improve this deck.

How to Play

Burn spells should be used to to deal direct damage to your opponent. Only in situations where a removal would allow your creatures to attack, and deal more damage than the burn spell, you should use your burn spells as removals.

[[Festival Crasher]] get's stronger with every spell played and can put some pressure on your opponents defence. [[Magmatic Insight]] allows you to discard surplus lands and draw two new cards instead.
