Deck Description

So, what do you do if you want to win with a 70$ in a format where the minimum is moving around 200$? You cheat... You play a game in which they don't get to use the cards they paid so much for.

Shit worth talking about:
Nothing really, you just look at the deck and you see all the synergy and strategy without any trouble at all.

This is my take on mono red control in modern, it's all the things I like. It was first meant to be a cheaper skred red but turned out like this.

NOTE: This might suffer from the legacy pox problem; sure they have no lands but there also is no pressure on them... So they'll draw lands and win.

How to Play

So... This how you play:
Turn one is pretty dry, you can play cte but most of the time you won't.
Turn 2 you want a Boom // Bust, ideally with a citadel to back you up and turn Boom // Bust into Sinkhole.
Turn 3 is just more ld, either in the form of Crack the Earth+an artifact or Stone Rain
Turn 4 is Avalanche Riders if they have any lands left, if not you can do whatever you want.
You deny their resources and you slowly beat them for 2 a turn.
While this stratgy is great vs anything even remotly slow, land dependant, mana greedy or mana light. It sucks vs decks that will have little to no need for lands after turn 3.
