Deck Description

Knowledge and Power is quite a bad card, yet all cards deserve some love!
...or do they?

I mostly use MTG Vault for my own private projects nowadays, but feel free to comment or request a deck of your choice. I've loved the Vault so far, and I like that they are still improving on it, as well as I am improving on my English language skills.

So, if you like what you see, consider checking out some of my other budget-y work from the link below.

How to Play

This deck is about mono red scrying.

Set up your cards with scrying effects, then enable them with either card draw or cards such as Stromkirk Occultist or Tectonic Giant! Be ruthless in your game: Try to remove enemy blockers with burn or a well-placed Titan's Strength, then kick some damn teeth in with your attackers!

The sideboard contains some alternate cards against alternative opponents. Consider adding some, if needed!

Deck discussion for BD: Scrying & Searing

Sigiled skink was "THE" scry card for me, when scry started to enter the game.

My overall approach was to have Enough burn That it Would always go unblocked, but I did investigate using ghoulcallers bell as a support.

These days orcish spy Will be a rather powerful addition to such a deck.

Orcish Spy is certainly a fun card. You rarely see cards that let you look at the top cards of any library, and NOT change the order of the cards.

Knowing the deck 3 cards deep certainly lets you Know how Much to scry. You basically get to Bury all remaining lands.

The trick is figuring out how Many spies it takes to optimize the process, and how many would be redundant because of the many scry cards...
