Made my own version of your idea. I simply couldn't justify a third color in it.. have a look and see how I made it.

My kind of deck! I got a couple of decks with similar ideas ;D

I'm guessing the Cloudshift is partially to protect the captain and partially to do some damage with the messenger?

If so, I'm not sure that it's enough of an impact to be worth the mana problems.. but maybe it is, especially since it gives you the use of vault of the archangel..

Hmm, anyway, like where this is going :)

Here's what was supposed to be my mono R.. I couldn't keep my fingers out of the blue color (as usual )

I agree here, 2 of them can make for a good surprise on turn 5 :D

I've been working on a mono R human deck too, I like the idea a lot.. In the end it turned out R/U, but I still would like to see a mono R work.

I'd concider switching pillar of flame for Gut Shot, just so that you can get the Stormblood in on round 2.
I'd also concider switching Somberwald Vigilante to Stonewright as they can be very usefull even mid-late game.

I personally also prefer Kruin Striker to Riot Ringleader, mainly because of the trample, and paired with Lancer or Stonewright he becomes really nasty.

I'd also reduce somethings to 3 instead of 4 to get total land count up to 22 or 23.

I'm gonna keep checking in here because like I said, I'd really want to see a mono R human deck as cool as possible :D

I've had splinter deck since he came out and just recently updated mine for avacyn. I have a bit different approach however with less milling cards and more cheap creatures that I can use for blocking (I want them to die anyways to feed the GY)

Have a look and let me know what you think, I like your version, but I prefer more creatures :D

Wonderful deck m8, well done!

I don't quite understand the Captain of the Mist though, what is it that you want to untap? I think I'd change that for 2 Elgaud Shieldmate's to protect your galvs and delvers.

Ooh fun!, but where is the burning oil? (you know, the one you pour from over the walls?) ;D

So, you told me to have a look, so here I am.

Compared to mine ( http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=338254 ) you have very limited mana ramp, and very limited defense. You have tons of land destruction, but what will you win the game with?

Switch Rampant growth for Emissary, it's the same thing except you get a blocker.
Llanowar could be BoP's instead.
You can lower the amount of land destruction spells and get either some more ramping or something to finish the game with. For me my finishers are Red sun's Zenith, Bonfire of the Damned and Vorniclex. But on top of that I have a lot more creatures then you that will pick away on the enemy wile h eis on a tighter mana budget than me.

I've been running a splinter deck for a long time and at first glance I would say you are missing some milling. I'd switch Ponder for Mulch and then skip merfolk looter and get screeching skaab instead.

You can bring Boneyard Wurm, Kessig Cagebreakers and Ghoultree down to 3 since they all need some stuff in the GY before they will really come out and play. I run 4 Phantasmal Bears and 4 Llanowar elves for early game. I've never found I need any card draw with my splinter deck.

I've currently revamping my old U/G splinter however to R/G, it brings some other nice things to the board, have a look if you like:

I love the idea of a different draw-pile for lands, Takes away those boring games where you only draw lands or no lands at all, plus it makes it a tactical choice when to pull land or when to draw something else.

For a draft deck it's frickin' awesome :)

Heh I made an anti-blue deck my self back in 2000 based around Scragnoth :D
Today most of my decks are blue or contains blue =P

I was thinking of a similar build before and the way you have put this together seems great!
Would be a long battle if it fought my : http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=337285

You asked me to come have a look, but if this is a sealed deck build, I'm not sure what to say ;)

removes 1 rat and 1 viper and 1 revenged of the hunted to add 2 Polluted Dead and 1 Creeping renaissance (to get back creatures in case you have lost a lot of them early on.)

Haha cool idea :D

Very good to it, if you have any suggestions, please bring them on :D

Get Bonfire of the Damned instead of Zenits :D

Love it. If only the price tag weren't so high :/
