Deck Notes
Ah yes, a good classic deck. None of those fancy shenanigans here, just Red doing Red things. Heavy on the burn, burn boosters, and things that burn as you burn, this deck goes off like a firework and keeps on popping. With beaters like Bloodthirsty Adversary combined with new hotness (literally) like Invasion of Tarkir, you have a deck that turns your opponent into kindling. Plus, at less than $150, it’s an easy deck to build on a budget.
