The Forgotten deck

With the banning of jace the mind sculptor and stoneforge mystic, plus the arrival of M12, people seemed busy trying to either experiment with white weenie, valakut, tezzeret deck, splinter twin, and other new decks.

Here, we have forgotten one of the most controversial  red deck of all time. Do any of you remember what it name was?



No? Let me refresh you memory

PS: yes, it is from starcitygames.com. I took it down directly.


This deck took the game by storm and who could not be impressed? This deck can get you a turn 2 win if your draw is good. However, this deck does have issues. For one its inconsistent, if your draws are bad you are gonna lose. Second, its not as stable as Red deck wins. And there isnt much you can do late game. Third, its gonna run out of steam fast. 

Now with M12, guess which card will help propel this deck to be a mean, death dealer?


You guessed it.

 Goblin grenade. This card is darn, god damn, epic.
I cant express my words and love for it.


Okay, so without further due, here is my list.

Okay here's the list. And yes, no sideboard..............yet. I havent had the chance to test it for real yet but so far its pretty good on Magic Workstation. I will keep you all posted on how i will further tweak this deck and how does it do.

But first let me explain a bit about the tweaks done on this deck.

a) There isnt much tweak done from the original. Hahaha yea. but the obvious would be the removal of forked bolt with goblin grenade. Because i feel that the current meta wont see fork bolt of much use. I could be wrong though.

b) I wasnt sure about devastating summons. Should i or shouldn't i remove this. Hmmm, still it at least it lets you do something just in case you got mana flooded and so happens to draw up this card. A last desperate struggle. lolz.

Do note this is just an early alpha version of the deck. I will try and see what i can further change, though i think its as good as it is for now.
