Deck Description

Whatever bounces off of me, sticks to you....

How to Play

The idea is simple: load up on Reckoner, Spitemare, and Stuffy Doll and then ping the board with a myriad of spells that hurt (but don't kill) them, and then reflect that damage back to the opponent's creatures or straight to their face. You can easily wipe out any creatures with up to four toughness that way. Then go for the kill with a Blasphemous Act.

A few other highlights:

- Deep-Slumber Titan is usually a very ho-hum creature, but in this deck, he is pretty consistently a huge beatstick that can take on creatures too big for Reckoner and company.

- Balefire Liege is not only a fantastic way to give Reckoner and Spitemare +2/+2 boosts (and be able to survive and reflect more damage), but he also turns your other spells into additional damage to the opponent and lifegain for you.

- Speaking of lifegain, the auras here are obviously best slapped on Reckoner and Spitemare, as you'll gain life not just from the red zone, but anytime they take and reflect other damage, turning them in to walking Lightning Helixes.

- There are many spells here that ping the board for 2 damage, but I wanted to particularly point out Pyrohemia. As long as you have a damage reflecting creature out, it's basically an every-turn ticking clock for the opponent, and one of few ways to ping the board on the opponent's turn. Note that it also pings the opponent directly in addition to creatures. It's particularly great against control.

- Speaking of control, Blood Moon is fantastic in this deck, slowing the opponent down while you get your pieces into place.

- Boros Charm is the main reason this isn't a mono red deck. All three modes are very relevant, especially the indestructible one. It's a nice surprise when the opponent tries to remove your Reckoners and Spitemares, especially if they try and do so with damage.

This deck falls flat against some decks, but it has consistently ripped through Delver/Pyromancer, Elves, Merfolk, White Weenies, and even midrange decks like dreaded Eldrazi (who hate Moon, and this eats even Thoughtknots for breakfast... thanks for the card draw!). Try it out... it's a LOT of fun!
