October 5th.... That's when we will lose this amazingly fun deck to play in our standard tournies. All the good cards are going except for stromkirk noble and bonfire if the damned pretty much.

Yeah well RtR may just bring us some handy toys. I'm trying to come up with some decent Instant speed responses come rotation and if RtR doesn't bring something in? I'm not sure what I'll be doing, but it won't be very 'Instant'.

Why so many people say Vexing Devil  isn't that good, to me it's one drop that does 4 dammage, hard to beat that IMO. I'm a beginner so I'd like to understand as I was thinking of getting those for my deck.

I dont think the whelp, dragon, blood, and volcanic strength are good enough. Some that may be "good enough" but iffy are krenko, hound, and vexing devil (krenko will be bad if we dont get more goblins, hound competes with hellrider). Anyway, you forgot Tibalt, The Fiend-Blooded  !
J/K....sorta. I think he's underated. Gives us another avenue to attack from like shrine just not as good.
Still, RDW ain't dead yet. It may get new life breathed into it in RTR. Hell the 4 things that really wreck RDW are leaving the format (Timely, Batterskull, War and Peace, and Purge) and that in itself will do alot for the deck.

so i have made a rdw deck on mtgo what do yall think?
stromkirk noble x4
reckless waif x3
stonewright x4
vexing devil x4
mogg flunkies x4
lightning maulter x4
torch fiend x2
loyal cathar x2
devil's play x1
pillar x3
incinerate x3
brimstone volley x4
thunderous wraith x1
21 land
this deck has super explosive draws,
turn 1 reckless, flip into turn 2 lightning mauler 5 damage on turn 2 is good for me.
stromkirk noble on turn one with stonewright turn 2 is also very good
loyal cathar seems janky but its a super star when stuff can't block i.e. titans and you have lethal
devil's play is amazing, a double burn spell is really nice.
also this was budget if you didn't notice
and this is pretty post rotation too

At my last FNM I ran this interesting mixutre: 17 x Mountain  4 x Dragonskull Summit  4 x Reckless Waif  4 x Vexing Devil 1 x Torch Fiend  4 x Stromkirk noble  2 x Archwing Dragon  2 x Chandra's phoenix  2 x Zealous Conscripts  2 x Hellrider  3 x Furnace Scamp  3 x Incinerate  2 x Shrine of Burning Rage  4 x Pillar of Flame  1 x Faithless looting  2 x Dangerous wager  2 x Thunderbolt  2 x Thunderous wrath  SB: 3 x Killing wave  2 x Nihil spellbomb  2 x Doom blade  1 x Torch fiend  2 x Grafdigger's Cage  2 x Whipflare  2 x Dismember  1 x Witchbane Orb  First round went against a janky vampire deck with every removal card you could fit into RB that I could think of, including bonfires, which I can't really afford. I went 1-2 but did get him down to 3 life in another. Soooo close! 2nd round went 3-0 vs a fairly loose angels deck which seemed to have too much land. She had a few good starts but I was generally able to burn out the initial creature rush and then a massive shrine to the bean, or straight burn did the job. 3rd round went 1-2 vs a massively tight GW aggro deck. The game I won I was able to burn his bean and miracled the thunderous wrath's at just the right time. Got him down to 4 (I think) life and came close in another game, but not close enough. 4th round vs turbofog won 3-0. He got lots of stall, and my creatures did virtually nothing, but he couldn't do anything about the burn to the bean. Finally a shrine dashed his hopes. The deck was fun and did ok (won 8/12) but just came up short. I could have jagged 2 easier opponents than those I lost too, but that's the luck of the draw. I think the new expansion will mean more black is used in red decks. Cards like dreadbore and guttersnipe will breath a bit of life into the mix, but monored decks possibly won't be as popular for the next expansion.
