Looks pretty sick man! But no {Koth of the Hammer}? He'd really benefit from the {Volt Charge}s! And I'd almost say bump the {Brimstone Volley}s to 3, having them block an attacker only to get Volleyed is a really fun way to mess with 'em, it makes them think about even blocking your team during Game 2. But dude either way this deck looks fun, I love Aggro!

^^^Scratch that^^^

Completely missed the sideboard!!! But the Volley comment still stands. I'm curious though, why {Galvanic Blast} over {Gut Shot}? I understand that in rare cases it can carpet bomb, but usually it's just a {Shock}, and Gut Shot can essentially be free! My meta loves Illusions though, so GS is essential. I'm not calling out Galvanic in any way, I really like the card, just curious.

I like it. I really like the idea of the noble, I just don't want to take them out of my other deck to put them in my red deck wins.

I personally prefer {Galvanic Blast}, I have deck tested both of them and the phyrexian mana never ended up being that Usefull.

{gut shot} is nice to use when you tap out.  Your opponent thinks you are out of mana so he transforms his {inkmoth nexus} then KABLAMO you kill that sumumaB!!!!!

{Gut Shot} is a very good card, considering there are alot of good 1/1 creatures right now. Like {Stromkirk Noble} for one.
