No sideboard found.

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

Submit a list of cards below to bulk import them all into your sideboard. Post one card per line using a format like "4x Birds of Paradise" or "1 Blaze", you can even enter just the card name by itself like "Wrath of God" for single cards.


Deck Description

RoughneckBarbarian said "Go forth and make me a barbarian deck!"* so that is what I am doing.

The big flashy combo here is Worldgorger dragon followed by Decree of annihilation. expensive on the ol' mana, but that's why there are 4 extraplanar lens. (you will need to add 16 mana to your mana pool first..., 13 if you have 2 dragonspeaker shaman in play)

Detrivore is there just to be suspended.

Runed Stalactite gives the extra creature types to non-barbarian berserker warriors for optimum Lovisa bonus.

To be honest I'm not entirely happy with this deck, but then again red is not my strongest colour.

*not his actual words

Deck discussion for Barbarians Challenge

I like it. +1 from me.

Half points for the Valakut combo simply because there's no barbaric abuse of it.

94 points by my count.

looks sweet to me! +1. the only thing i would recommend changing maybe would be the barbarian riftcutter just becuase it costs so much. maybe replace it with hell-bent raider. i really like that card for some reason.

And the lead goes from 95 to 96.

I promised myself I wouldn't offer build advice, but hipponox is right. That card has saved my ass more times than I can count. It's easily one of the best Barbs available (only because Kamahl and Jeska are legendary).

I'm not really good with red decks myself and i almost never rate decks, but I like what I'm seeing here. +1 from me. I must agree with Hipponox.

I only really used the rift cutter for bonus destruction points... also my play style lends itself to top decking a lot, I don't know why and it does me no harm in the games I play, but having a card spare to discard never happens. on a side note I'm thinking of removing valakut and putting in more mountains or gauntlets of power, since extraplanar lens doesn't work with valakut I'm shooting my mana in the foot (more mana means the worldgorger combo is more likely to happen.) can I get some opinions on this change please.

Another original deck +1 from me although as you noted it is rather mana expensive.

I realized I forgot some points...

You're up to 107.

As for Valakut, I would say go ahead and change it. How long will the average game last? 15 turns? If you only get one out, you're going to deal 10 damage with it on average. Sure, 10 damage can win the game, but making the Worldgorger more reliable is probably a better option.

I just remembered something! I put 2 Worldgorgers I borrowed from a friend in my original barbarians! Creepy.

This is a deck that looks like it can win games. I really like that you're using Wordgorger Dragon for something other than the usual Animate Dead infinite combo.

I'd keep the Extraplanar Lens in the deck, actually. Gauntlet of Power costs five mana, so you've got to have a significant amount of mana to begin doubling it. And despite the non-mountainness of Valakut, I'd continue to run it. Your deck looks like it plays the control role more often than not, so you're trying to drag the game out- hence you're going to see a lot of land drops. Valakut provides card advantage that's hard to get elsewhere in red.
