My first attempt and making a standard deck.   Any pointers?

I'm not much of a green person but the red in your deck looks pretty good, good job

[Calebestes]

Thanks.   I couldn't make
Up my mind on either visionarys or borderland rangers.   Or maybe I should put some more kill spells or bigger green creatures?

[UltimateArtifacter]

my best red is a burn deck, so much damage for such little mana, and a few creatures to block and cause some damage

[Calebestes]

I forgot to put
Huntmaster of the fells on there x 4

I'm better with my MonoBlack Vampire deck, you should take a look it's under casual

I hate to be the person to give you some bad news calebestes. My freind is a dedicated g/r player he played it when it was at its best right around g/p Orlando and actualy made top 20's. He fell in love with the deck and made it his goal to make g/r the next delver deck!! But ever since avacayn he can't even top 8 at fnm!!! Now he is a great player he just noticed that the deck is very situational and runs out of steam very quick!! I'm not telling you to not run g/r I'm just telling you what my freind has realized after months of testing

Best of luck to you!!!

Yours truly,

Agreed but, after rotation where is delver going to be? My deck will still be standard after ravnica, and can only get better.   Any deck can be situational.   Only 1-2 ppl that run delver at fnm and don't even place top 3.  It's always some weird deck.  My BR Zombies doesn't even place top 8.   : /
