Deck Notes
Red always has a fun time in Standard, but this deck goes in a direction I didn’t expect. Instead of just bomabrding the enemy with burn spells (not that it doesn’t have those also), it tries to flood the board with tokens and obscenely high powered creatures. By having extra Treasure tokens, sacrifice fodder, and just general face-smashery, this deck goes out of its way to be aggressive and look good doing it. Variety may be the spice of life, but sometimes consistency is the spice of victory.
