Deck Description

An upgrade to an old Standard deck. Mechanized Warfare acts as a secondary Cavalcade of Calamity, AND it boosts Cavalcade's effect.

24 Jan 2023:
Swapped a few cards around to add Bomat Courier and Gingerbrute.

06 July 2023:
Somehow I misplaced my Fanatical Firebrand, so I've removed them until I can find them again or acquire new ones.
Also added Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance and Scampering Scorcher.

How to Play

Play cheap creatures.
Play Cavalcade of Calamity and/or Mechanized Warfare.
You cheap creatures now deal even more damage, so turn them sideways.
...
Win?

All the creatures in the deck have 1 power, and this is so that they can trigger Cavalcade of Calamity, but they were also chosen over other 1 powered creatures for their abilities:

Phoenix Chick has flying and haste, and it can be reanimated though it's own effect.
Scorch Spitter deals 1 damage on attack, which is boosted by Mechanized Warfare for even more damage.
Tin Street Dodger and Gingerbrute have haste, and can make themselves effectivley unblockable for consistent damage over time.
Bomat Courier can provide significant card advantage. With the low curve, we're likely to empty our hand quickly.

I chose to use Heartfire over Lightning Strike because our little dudes will be numerous and dying a lot, so why not make their deaths mean something :P

Chandra is just too much value not to include, but I did more her to the sideboard to lower the overall mana curve.

Sideboard is meta dependent.
In my LGS, white based removal is up, so I'm using Unchained Berserker. Fry helps in those match-ups too.
Similarly, excluding myself, we have at least 2 Big Green players, so Burning Hands is a must.
