The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

Deck Description

Well, I love my g/w aggro. But, you see, more often than not, I was found in the control player's position. And this upsets me. I don't want to play control with an aggressive build. So, HOPEFULLY, this deck can have an aggressive start, but still should have a nice late game.

Green red isn't my strong suit, but hey, we'll see.

Deck discussion for More aggressive than white. ; ]

Hmm. I'm not too sure about this list, personally. I feel like just staying GW is probably better. With red you now have Goblin Guide, less than a playset of Lightning Bolts, and Koth... Hero is ok, and Urabrask seems pretty underwhelming in this deck. Lots of your stuff already has haste and the rest doesn't need it really. I feel like Koth doesn't do much for the deck than GW can't already accomplish. I mean, an ultimate with Koth in this deck really won't do too much for you in many cases and the -2 is even worse! The +1 is fine, but honestly, if that's all you need him for, just run Thrun or even Garruk. As for the Goblin Guides, they are spectacular but this deck doesn't look like it really can capitalize on them as well as they're basically the only 1 drop attackers and your 2-drops don't really hit all that hard...

This basically leaves only Lightning Bolts as above average for the GW cards. While I love having access to them, I just don't feel it's worth the mana troubles that 3 colors can lead to, especially with no deck manipulation (card draw/filtering) like blue decks. Plus, because of your red build, you have no outs to artifacts/enchantments now with Urabrask being your only out against the Splinter Twin decks.

As a final note, your GW build was MUCH better at using the Vengevines (if for no other reason than the inclusion of Fauna Shaman).

So... While this is certainly not a bad deck, and can quite likely do very well, my money would still definitely be on the straight up GW lists. If you really want to go faster aggro though, I would suggest just dropping either the green and run Boros (advantage = Stoneforge) or dropping the white and going RG Gruul (advantage = ramp and Raging Ravine).

Sorry to sound so down on it. It really is a good list! I just think 2 colors is much better right now. Good luck, as always.
