I'm an older player looking to return back to Standard and my question is with Burn and Goblins taking a hit with this last rotation, can mono-red still make a mark in Standard? And by what turn is most games won by these days?
Thanks,
=)
check out my deck. It has been rolling over various forms of bant midrange/control pretty easily. Even a topdeck Terminus or t4 Supreme Verdict only prolong the inevitable, as you can constantly pump out more cheap beaters. Vexing Devil is just amazing in this deck (laugh all you want, but I don't think I've lost a game where someone allowed me to burn them for 4 for only 1 mana)
Check out my BB gun. I've used it to kill bears*.
*I found a mentally retarded bear cub in a zoo, sneaked in while he was under sedation, then beat him to death with it.
oversimplified analogies are always good in the place of constructive criticism ^^. regardless, OP posted asking about RDW in standard, so I posted a relevant list, in an attempt to be helpful (something you're clearly not familiar with). even if my list was horridly unplayable, it wouldn't be admissible for you to mock me.
but, seriously, if you saw some of the results that you get from taking random walks on tree representation of the deck you wouldn't be dismissing it out of hand. as a matter of fact, i think that this deck would get better, and more consistent, random walks than any of the popular archetypes (this doesn't mean it would necessarily win the matchup)
rather than *sometimes* ending the game on t4, this deck does it quite frequently. The only real problem it has is your hand running out, but almost any aggro deck will lose if the game goes past turn 5 or 6. perhaps you could enlighten me, king l33t, as to why this deck is so bad?

1000th post November 26, 2010. Where Islands gets his decks: Spoiler:

It was revealed to me in a dream. All the cards were in my dream except for three slots which I plugged in as Vault Skirge.
FULL DISCLOSURE: The dream was post AVR so there was a copy of Slayer's Stronghold. I decided to keep it pre AVR in my post here.
EDIT: I just remembered. The Skirges might have been 2x Whipflare and 1x something else, probably War and Peace.
EDIT2: Currently 4-0 in my first four games with this. My opponents have been very angry. I fought off a Wurmcoil from Grixis for six turns before I found my second Dispatch. Jeez, I can do a lot of damage.
EDIT3: Streak broken. Lost to an unexpected Overrun.  Cracking a Shrine for 10 wasn't enough.

also, I've been playtesting this deck in my sleep today
that kinda freaked me out

Because its not a $650 Bant deck or something similar, obviously...

What about us Anarcho-Syndicalists? Do we count?

RDW is fine. I still chuckle over this thread that said RDW was going to be dead in RTR and it turned out to be quite powerful and able to hold it's own.
Is it a tier 1 deck? Probably not. I'd definetly say atleast Tier 2, though.
