Yeah, good playtesting today. My RDW matchup is usually very good but this was just a pain to deal with. Anybody who don't have Vexing Devils yet, make sure you get them because they're a workhorse in this deck.

Tibalt, the Fiend-Blooded ?!? Really?

a 4-of?  REALLY??!!??

Too random for me.  Also don't want to get stuck with a handful of them.

Shadowchu, for the record, was playing a deck with Centaur Healer, Thragtusk, Rhox Faithmender, Deathrite Shaman, and Sphinx's Revalation//Tree of Redemption depending on the build.

I think I would have gotten you that last game you needed to go.  I ripped a Wrath to answer the second Rhox and I think I'd win the race, even with your tree.

Zooligan:  Yes.  Tibalt.  You control his +1 extremely well.  Your curve is very low.  He's won me lots of games.  I've won with gridning and riding the +1.  I've won with -4.  I've won with -6.  His +1 handles duplicates quite well naturally.

Funny enough, I think brimstone volley is the weakest card in the deck. I think if the deck could run on 2 lands it would be perfect to be honest. 

Forge Devil seems terrible but I don't know what other creatures would be good here.

Forge Devil is good on the draw.  I actually board it in a decent bit.  I didn't against you though.

Tell them about Tibalt.  Tell them!

How has Legion Loyalist been? I need to order my playset and was wondering how good they are. The first strike seems nice, but trample and unblockable by tokens don't seem that good. Trample doesn't seem that good when all the creatures are 2 power or less (except vexing devil if it sticks around or a noble that got two attacks in). Unblockable by tokens seems potentially great, but there doesn't seem to be too many tokens seeing play in standard. 

Looks like I'll have to trade for some tibalts. It looks pretty good here. I'll try to playtest this a little when I get the chance.

2.5: Solid pick in-color: Bronzebeak Moa
2.0: Creatures 10-16; removal 6-7. Haazda Snare Squad

Tibalt was really good here. Basically anything you're discarding or drawing is the same as what you have before so +1ing him isn't a problem here. -4 will be relevant against control decks and -6 will be relevant against midrange decks. It actually works really well here.

Legion Loyalist is decent from what I've played against. It's going to be great against thragtusk tokens and lingering souls tokens which can be problems for RDW.

Also, buy Tibalts. They are at like $2.50-3.

edit: Also, the deck I was playing against this was very much still in the design phase but I have had some actually experience playing it against real opponents who were playing tier 1 aggro decks and my deck raped them. This matchup makes me want to go smaller to be honest because I'm too midrange for this deck and some of these bigger midrange decks are going to get ground out by Tibalt which sounds ridiculous but is a real thing.

Hmmm.  I'll have to proxy it up and give it a go.  I guess with all the 1 and 2 drops, it might work.  That "at random" thing bothers me, but maybe if I see it played...
