Deck Description

So my favorite standard deck to run right now is RG Aggro (or Burning-Tree). I've had pretty decent successes with it, and I've really enjoyed it. People are all looking forward to when flinthoof rotates and the deck goes away, but I'm not giving up on it just yet. There are some other cards that look incredibly promising that have both already been printed or are about to be reprinted in M14.

Gore-House Chainwalker has been grossly overlooked in the two drop slot. Sure, it's a 3/2 whereas flinthoof was a 3/3, but it can still dish out some intense damage. A free 3/2 off of burning tree emissary is not something you would complain about. Then we have scavenging ooze, which, I'm proud to announced, is being reprinted in M14! Yay! Goodbye reanimator decks and hello RG aggro! And also, let's not forget our good friend firefist striker, who mainboarded Josh Utter-Leighton's boros blitz deck that he ran to a top 8 in PT Dragon's Maze. Another consideration is predatory sliver, which will be around in M14--
1G
Creature - Sliver
Sliver creatures you control get +1/+1
1/1

It's basically a 2/2 for 2, which is about standard PT return, but it's really good if you draw in multiples. Just a thought. What do you guys think?

Oh, and what's the next big replacement for hellrider?

Deck discussion for Post Rotation Burning-Tree

hellrider was the replacement for Hero of Oxid Ridge, and got better. too good, almost. Hellriders replacement is (sadly) Rubblebelt Raiders. a 4 drop with similar ability. hellriders rotation makes me sad.

I know :( A game with hellrider out is basically a game won with this deck. Hadn't thought of Rubblebelt. It could work. I'm really liking savageborn hydra right now--definitely something most people aren't expecting (especially when you bloodrush ghor-clan onto it). Who knows, maybe theros will give us some epic red aggro creature? Thanks for the comment!

Oh, and M14 Red Mythic = DISAPPOINTMENT.
