Deck Description

Standard, mono-red devotion aggro...

Born of the Gods additions: 3x Flame-Wreathed Phoneix(main deck); 2x Searing Blood(sideboard)...

How to Play

Nykthos is useful, when boosting Hatchling, or with Dragon Mantle, or by Purphoros... ...I think this is the only thing that's might not clear at 1st view...

Homing lightning is a fine sideboard for tokens... ...Flames of the Firebrand is useful against other fast aggro decks with many small creatures...


Whaddaya' think?.. ...Suggestions?..

Deck discussion for Ashes to Masses, Dust to God

Ahh, I see where you got your suggestions for my red deck haha!

I was testing mine (which is very similar to yours) and played against an Izzet deck with lots of control/counters, burn, and a Nivix Cyclops that he gave a bunch of buffs and double strike which I could do nothing about. The only thing that I could do would be to Mizzium Mortars it if I was able to. Otherwise, I was dead.

What could we do against something like that?

I've played against decks like that as well... ...watch out for Counterflux & play only 1 spell each main phase as long as it's possible with Overload...

Reckoner is good against burn, so you better not get it countered... ...you need to keep it for late-game, when the opponent ran out of counters...

Sideboard Mindsparker, it will weaken the opponent every time a counter & such is played...

The Ancient is a great blocker in this match up... ...you need to keep a hatchling for late-game as well, 'cuz if the opponent won't not get a burn spell in 1 turn & he/she does not have a flyer out, than with Nykthos, you've won the game... ...of course, most flyers can be shot by Mortars.......

If you wipe the board with Mortars, than any of your creatures with a Dragon Mantle on it can end the game thanks to Nykthos...

Of course, from my deck, I side-out Five-Alarm, 'cuz I won't deal damage that often, I rather end the game in 1 or 2 attack...

With Dragon Mantle & Chandra, I have a higher possibility to draw Mortars in time... ...tough, there's no way not to draw 1 of 4 Mortars & if you play it at the right time, you'll win for sure... ...just survive without it until the opponent runs out of counters, or have no mana left for the turn... ...if you draw at least 2 Mortars & you usually do, than there will be no problem.......
