Mono red and not a single mention of Vexing Devil and Stormblood berserker.
Also, where do you suggest lists?

Perilous Myr is a great two-mana creature. It functions as a creature that provides repeated damage, but it can also do some extra damage to your opponent when the 2/2 body dies.
Just wanted to point out an error in the article. Perilous Myr is a 1/1, not a 2/2.
Thanks.

Without Gut Shot  or Goblin Fireslinger  , there isn't a reliable way to turn on Bloodthirst for the breserker. Though I suppose he could still be tested as an alternative to Myr.
Vexing Devil is going for $15 on Starcity, and was likely deemed over budget. Poor JVL, damned when he suggests money rares, damned when he doesn't.

Interesting deck, but I'm not really sure what the role of Perilous Myr in the deck is. You dont have that many sac effects and your deck is the aggressive one, so most of the time they're probably gonna let the Myr through.

Okay, here is the clincher. I've been waiting to say this.
The "cam girl" this was inspired by was just a girl from a social networking website, Stickam. Her name was TinyTerror and she was just a regular girl who was on her webcam, totally unrelated to any type of adult content.
I hope you all feel really smart now. 
This is like someone coming into class with a bloody nose and everyone's like "Jeez what happened to you" and they're like "I ran into a wall" and everyone laughs at them for being an idiot but then at the end of the class they say "HAHA JUST KIDDING I PUNCHED MYSELF IN THE FACE!!!!!! TALK ABOUT OWNED HAHAHAHAHA"
I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.
Sorin walked into the chamber where his newly wed bride, Vampy, awaited. A beam of moonlight illuminated his brilliant silver hair as he strode with confidence towards the bed. His shirtless body showcased his powerful abdominal muscles and he was wearing jeans with holes in the knees.
I wish more girls play magic cards...
Have you considered assassinating Kevin?

Weird how we got a poll on which deck we'd get this week last week, and then there's hardly a mention this week. I understand that Jacob might have had an idea he liked and wanted out there, but I do expect that deck next week.
Also, it feels a little silly that we're getting this deck in the week of a Block Constructed Pro Tour.
Otherwise, nice deck, nice article.
Zindaras' meta is like a fossil, ancient and its secrets yet to be uncovered. Only men of yore, long dead, knew of it.

Warning, Terminus  isn't actually sorcery speed removal. Don't let the card type fool you.

Not sure I agree with the Myr and Phoenix, but other than that, an interesting deck

I won't give JVL flack for not including Vexing Devil at all, I have no idea why this guy seems to think JVL should include a 15+ dollar rare in his article......
That said this deck is kinda meh but at least he didn't put any stupid overpriced cards or dumb mistakes in this article. There also was some at least mention if not playtesting of the metagame and how this deck may fare. I'd prefer actually playtesting the deck to just sideboard mentioning, but still it's better than nothing.
Now let's see if he's consistent and keep sit up (I'm not holding my breath)
But props for Zealous conscripts - I overlooked that card and didn't realize it said "target PERMANENT". It's a junk rare so I may grab a playset and use it in a silly deck one day.

Just wanted to say, I like this deck idea. Interesting analysis of Zealous Conscripts!
