What I was questioning is why it says post rotation and posted in standard...some of these cards will rotate and no longer be standard cards.

Wait for Ravnica to be spoiled before making any final conclusions, and until then play a better RDW? Our card pool is insane right now. If you're any good at Limited or Drafting, then you can make a proper decklist 2 weeks before Ravnica drops, I do it every rotation, idk wth I'm going to play this year though, I need something nice to take to States. Either way, there's 3 months to mull over ideas, use this app to examine EVERY Standard Red card. There are a lot of all stars that people overlook.

EDIT: Yes, if you're doing this, you want {Vexing Devil}, if you don't like him, don't play red, he's so sick! Haha, {Lightning Bolt}+ for (R)... Yes please.

I think I've made my feelings about {vexing devil} clear.

You are right though, I won't be playing this until Return to Ravnica has been spoiled until I start forming it  up.

I just like to be familiar the cards as the come out. I really like {hound of griselbrand}, just cause its so full of flavour, but it doesn't seem like its all that good.

I feel like the card would be so much better with haste, and wouldn't be breaking the card with it.

I'd trade haste for double strike.

Broken with double strike haste and undying yes

I wouldn't say broken. It's still a 2/2 for 4 mana.

With double strike haste and undying? Ok maybe not broken but nearly.

{hellrider} has haste (comparable to double strike) and a really unique ability (comparable to undying) and is a 3/3 vs a 2/2.

I think haste would make him a lot better, but not unfairly good, and would certainly fit the flavor of the card.

I think making him 3/3 or haste too would make him as playable as hellrider.

Good points.

{hellrider} + {thatchers revolt} = awesome.

I like thatcher revolt synergy with a lot of cards. But it doesn't pull enough weight to warrant a competitive spot at 3 cmc IMO.

Yeah I agree.... In reality they probably shouldn't die... The tokens from  {krenko's command} dont die
But the {Thatcher Revolt} tokens have HASTE :P
jk i agree with you.

Only awesome in the case of it producing an unexpected kill swing, {kreno's command} would ideally have been played the turn prior.

{bonfire of the damned} . You need it. You need many of it. It is easily one of the best cards for RDW at the moment along with an m13 card that you absoluty need {thundermaw Hellkite} . Because of these two cards all of my local FNM's are being STOMPED by RDW and G/R aggro running those two + Huntmaster.
As far as {vexing devil} goes.... Don't run it. Everyone is hyping it up, and sure first turn you get to {flame slash} someone's face, but there are much better options. If people actually let it go hit the board, they probably have a quick answer, otherwise, a 4 life disadvantage isn't THAT huge unless you plan on beating them like crazy in the first few turns.

Apperently you don't like to win by turn 3-4.

Hellkite? In RDW?? Are you serious? I would so love to play you.

I would play you any day. I play RDW and GR Agro as my main 2 decks, Hellkite is a stomper in RDW, the truth it often it's challenging to win by turn 3-4, and of you haven't Hellkite is a or sure win in a turn or 2.
