Ever consider {Grim Lavamancer}? This deck looks pretty sweet btw.

Also, one thing to consider: You need an answer for {Leyline of Sanctity}. That card single handedly shuts this deck down.

[InfinitiveDivinity]

I would recommend a very small splash of green for {Back to Nature}, or maybe {Naturalize} since your also running {Blood Moon}. {Nature's Claim} is no good here because you can't afford to count higher than 20.

Have considered and was running it but cut it for Bob. Card advantage trumps the lavamancer's ability IMO.

I know about the leylines. You're right on a potential answer, I just don't know if going 3 color dilutes the deck. I mean it can't hurt me to run overgrowns that much. Not sure what I would remove from the side if I decided to side in enchantment removal.

[NyghtHawk]

If I were to splash green, it would make me want to have {Ancient Grudge} in the side too.

Why is there a scalding tarn in here?

Why is there a scalding tarn in here?

It fetches {Blood Crypt} or a needed basic.  Same as {Marsh Flats} and {Verdant Catacombs}.  Fetches be good.

[NyghtHawk]

Why is there a scalding tarn in here?

Just using actual cards I own. Tarn fetches the crypt.

Why is there a scalding tarn in here?

You're right, I'd rather have 4 Tarns and 4 Arid Mesa.

How good is {Ensnaring Bridge} in the board? Against Zoo {Blood Moon} just ruins their day and a little spot removal seals the deal, and Affinity's covered as well. I think that could be your enchantment hate right there dude. Something like:

-2 {Ensnaring Bridge}
-2 {Smash to Smithereens}

+2 {Back to Nature} (This card also gives you an answer to Bogle, if chosen.)
+2 {Ancient Grudge}

EDIT: Also {Anger of the Gods} hits your Aggro audience. Bridge seems unnecessary in my opinion.

{{Rain of Gore}}? Making that {{Kitchen Finks}} or a {{Scavenging Ooze}} a liability rather than a neutered asset seems ok.

I would run either the leylines or that. I think the leylines are better with the potential free to play clause.

The rain is cheaper to hard cast though so worth trying either way. Never tried them before.

I was thinking instead of back to nature maybe a white splash for {parasalene}

White splash opens a whole new deck. I would add {Boros Charm} for start.

Went 3-1 last night with this at my lgs.

My only loss was a 50/50 game that he drew better. I could get him to 1 on multiple occasions, but could never draw what I needed.

Beat some RW random deck, melira pod, and zoo.
