Deck Description

Go ahead. Try and wipe the board. Try and spot kill my creatures. Try and counter them. I don't care. You know why? Because they're going to just keep on coming....

How to Play

The name of the game? Blitz the opponent from the start and smack them around before they can mobilize any answers. Get in enough damage early to either finish them off or get their life total low enough that you can just burn them for the little bit remaining when they wipe the board and/or get enough of a defense going.

The best way to win?

T1: Rakdos Cackler/Striking Sliver
T2: Madcap Skills/Rubblebelt Maaka (bloodrush), swing for 4 or 5
T3: Minotaur Skullcleaver, swing for 8+
T4: Zealot/Shred-Freak/enchantment/burn/whatever for lethal

Long and short of it: by turn 4 or 5, you should be able to end it. If it DOES drag on beyond that, and/or your early threats are picked off, a later Reckoner or one-sided board-wiping Mizzium Mortars can get you right back in the driver's seat.

The sideboard is geared towards answering U/W variants (Mindsparker, Skullcrack), aggro (Searing Blood), stall (Ogre Battledriver, Fanatic of Mogis) and blowing through larger threats the opponent throws in front of your creatures (more Mizzium Mortars).

Playtesting has been quite successful. Sometimes it will stall out and just die to really heavy kill or control, but typically it can simply outrace them. I've had many comments that this is the fastest aggro deck folks have seen in quite a while. It's all-in, and usually for the better. Try it out and see for yourself!

What do you think? Any suggestions or questions? Any and all helpful comments will get +1 rep points from me!

Deck discussion for Super Aggro RDW Pre-Nyx

I've been toying with Chandra's Phoenix, probably in place of Reckoner, since I should have little trouble bringing them back with burn if they die. But my current opinion is--believe it or not--that it's just too slow here. The majority of my creatures can hit for at least the 2 Phoenix can on Turn 2, and I'd rather use Turn 3 for burn or enchantments on my existing creatures than "only" getting 2 more in from Phoenix. Even the quick 4 from Skullcleaver seems superior. *shrug* I could probably be persuaded to make the change, though.

Other thing I'm considering is Legion Loyalist. I actually started with him instead of Striking Sliver, but found that I usually preferred the guaranteed first strike from the Sliver, especially if I slapped an enchantment on it. Again, though, I could be persuaded to change my mind if folks think I should swap out Sliver for Loyalist.

Oh, and Seismic Stomp for team swings into a stalled board. Had it in sideboard for a long time, and it eventually dropped out, but I still really like the potential...if I could just find the room.

Any other thoughts?
