Subject: [Deck] Reign of Fire Date: Fri, 21 Nov 1997 13:25:10 -0600 From: Andrew Stefanski Just thought I'd send out my latest creation... A pretty deadly mono-red deck. I went 3-1 with it in the last tournament. I lost first round due to a reverse mana screw, so I've considered dropping a mountain or two. The rest of the rounds were decisive 2-0 wins, usually taking about 10 minutes per round. Reign of Fire 1.1 4 Incinerate 4 Fireblast 2 Kaervek's Torch 2 Rolling Thunder 2 Hammer of Bogardan 1 Earthquake 1 Goblin Bombardment 4 Mogg Fanatic 2 Goblin Vandal 4 Ironclaw Orcs 3 Canyon Wildcat 2 Brothers of Fire 2 Orcish Artillery 1 Lava Hounds 1 Flowstone Giant 2 Orgg 1 Ruby Medallion (aih) 1 Cursed Scroll 1 Mana Web 18 Mountain 2 Dormant Volcano (These actually worked well) Sideboard under reconstruction Now for a little self-analysis of the deck. The Dormant Volcanoes never hurt me, and worked pretty well. I suspect one of these days they'll bite me though, but I'll keep them in for now. The Ruby Medallion was gorgeous, showing up quickly plenty of times, allowing me to get more done. I want to add at least one more. I'd also like to get another Mana Web or two for the sideboard. They work really well at screwing with peoples' mana. The Cursed Scroll never showed up in 8 games, so I have no idea how it works in the deck, but I like the looks of it. Orgg only showed up a couple of times, but he definately made an impact when he did. Nobody likes seeing a 6/6 trampler, and with all the direct damage, I can keep anything bigger than 2/2 off the board at least long enough for him to attack once or twice. If the game doesn't even last long enough to cast him, then there's no worries. Comments, suggestions? (and yes, you can steal it for the Dojo if you want) -- "Cheezy Poofs! Kickass."
