My take on RDW

Sideboard the {Skullcrack} in replace of {Searing Spear} or something, the Skullcrack is only better against lifegain.

So add a card that will burn me for every card I cast?  I don't think that strategy is sound

Trust me it's insane. Think about what cards ppl in modern play? Nobody plays anything higher than 4 cmc spells.

Sure you take damage but you don't care bc you are also burning them at the same time! So you may take 2 per spell but they're taking 2-3 from it WHILE still taking 2 from their spells!!

It's a great card.

I would prefer to take out creature slots for Eidelon.  Suggestions?
Title: Re: Modern RDW
Post by: Kaworu, the Fifth Child on June 22, 2014, 12:39:54 PM
Maybe the Pyromancer, definitely the Shrines.

Definitely considered him but I decided the creatures in here are better but I am open for argument of the contrary.
Title: Re: Modern RDW
Post by: Prplprince on June 23, 2014, 12:32:52 PM
Gutter is nice but he is a bit slow on the curve because by the time you get him online you've probly played most of your hand. On top of that if you're in top deck mode it would suck to draw into him instead of a burn spell
Title: Re: Modern RDW
Post by: cltrn81 on June 23, 2014, 12:46:26 PM
Anyone think I should drop the creature count from 16 or stick with what I have?
Title: Re: Modern RDW
Post by: TreeSmoker on June 23, 2014, 03:12:37 PM
Maybe take out an eidolon and add another shrine? That's just my opinion.

Shrine is definitely underrated and can be a win-con.  The eidolon scares me a bit, but I can see him wrecking house if played with the right timing so IDK until play testing.

Eidolon is the best card in this deck it literally shuts down opponents plays and forces them to deal with it! Last night I actually played against it. And it ALONE dealt me 6 damage in one game bc I couldn't remove it!! I asked the guy how it's been and he said its his favourite card to draw bc it's so powerful!

{Shock} ??? Just a thought
Title: Re: Modern RDW

 {Barrel Down Sokenzan} finisher?

{Combust} sideboard?

{Flame Javelin}?

Gotta add a  {Blood Moon} at least to SB.

They can both be destroyed easily. So none would be helpful unless you found a way to run {indestructible} Maybe?

Don't get me wrong we like the input. But just no man NO!! B Moon is insane in Modern sure it can be destroyed by stuff but so can everything lol

B Moon is also significantly better than magus bc magus still does to dismember or other stuff.
Title: Re: Modern RDW
Post by: Prplprince on June 23, 2014, 09:48:45 PM
Both do the same but enchantments in modern except creatures are easier to deal with

Im not a modern player so i dont really know the meta. I was just trying to help cltrn out. Indestructible blood moon or magus would be great. That's just my opinion though.

The deck runs very good and you are right.  I do like eidolon in this......and he does get around leyline. :)

Maybe I will have more creatures in the SB to make it a bit stompy if I face leyline

If you drop a land to add a 2 drop and 3 to activate I think you might have mana issues.

Good point. How about {Magma Jet} in sideboard?
Title: Re: Modern RDW
Post by: cltrn81 on July 05, 2014, 02:21:11 PM
I do like the jet for scy.

I updated:
-2 {keldon maurader}
-1 {shrine of burning rage}
+3 {searing blood}

I added the searing blood to help get around {leyline of sanctity}
