There is an abudance of 4+ toughness red / blue cards here. Essentially you get out a strong defence and then use flyring to kill your opponent. Not sure whether to play trostani's judgment or avenging arrow. The deck can afford to pay 6 mana, but it wont be getting much from its populate effect.

Black green did seem like an option but the lack of many strong green cards makes me not want to go there.

You are Red/Blue!

Well, Izzet has the cards to make a strong 2 colour deck, but I'm a bit worried about how everything costs 3 mana:

UR seemed to have a good mix of early aggression and tempo, so I went with this. A ton of 3-drops, for sure, but those 3-drops have some fat bottoms, so they should be able to take care of things for you. The removal suite is decent, with 2 Annihilating Fire , Paralyzing Grasp , and Inaction Injunction to help you stem the early game, and Syncopate and Mizzium Mortars to take over the late game.

The only thing I'm worried about is the lack of a real bomb. Maybe I should have splashed white for Isperia, Supreme Judge ...

Armada Wurm and Isperia are both very hard to pass, but all the good cards made me think Rakdos is possible, Mizzium Mortars cementing my decision. Then I noticed the 2 Izzet Keyrune s and the Teleportal , which made me realize I can actually splash blue.

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 don't really like going three color with this format, but especially not with this build. The blue/white decks are reasonable, but I think Mortars is stronger than any of the white cards and double thug double fire outweighs the better 20-23rd card white gives you. The white is more consistent but I think the red is more powerful when it draws good, which I think is important.
