That makes sense. I traded for Rakdos's Return at the prerelease because I thought they would be good in the SB, but now I'm not sure I want to splash black, because I like Hellrider more than Falkenrath Aristocrat.

What are you running? My RDW is pretty easy to put together with cards from your LGS. Most of the rares are dirt cheap but Mortors and Hellkites and even those are pretty easy to find.

LGS? Local Game Store? I prefer English cards, and I already ordered from CardKingdom.com in Seattle. Now, just waiting. I think I'll be running your list for the foreseeable future. Seems just right to me.

There are many folks on this thread that have contributed HUGELY to making Red what it is right now, but you have been the rally point (and...I can't resist...redthirst the bouncer ) to whom we all tip our respective hats.

Please post a welcome!!

Ha!

Zem greets you with a smile and a warm handshake.

I wish you goodbye with a swift kick to the ass.

That is quite painful. Cardkindom is where I buy singles that I want to use immediately since I can order online and pick up in Ballard 40 minutes later. The physical store is awesome too, one of the nicest setup game stores I have ever seen. It is just a bit too far for FNM for me though.

Been playing the sledgehammer red deck online for a while now, though I run Cathedral of War in place of Hellion Crucible, it's a blast to play but I'm starting to see one very concerning issue with the deck. Geist of Saint Traft is simply gg for us (I really mean our deck just dies to it so bad it's almost comical) because it's unraceable, unkillable and effectively unblockable (geist decks are full of ways to neutralize lethal blocks).
Only "answer" I've come up with is Rolling Temblor out of the board but it feels not very valueriffic when I often kill my own guys in the process.

Am I just missing something really obvious or is anyone else noticing GoST being massive pain in the ass?

This... is true. Well done gents.

Was there a post discussing why it had to wait to be establishd at all?

Also I watched that video vs frites. I don't know if everyone has had the chance.
1. I was totally suprised to see you keep a 3 thundermaw hand.
1a. Impressed.
2. I lol'd so hard when when you took griselbrand, and then kept taking him everyturn with the cards you drew from him. I just have to think that guys head would have exploded in a real match. Bravo.

So now, does Z port the primer or do the mods move the primer thread?

Edit: Playing Sledgehammer, I sided in rolling tremblor in a test match vs him. My testing partner strapped him up with Spectral flight. This happened once on turn 3 then 4 and later just eventually...
If you can catch him with your rolling tremblor, good luck.
The other options there are bonfire of the damned, and Magmaquake (which is instant but kills at 4 mana)

If you're running Darkhammer, or Dos Rakis, you might be able to run Tribute to hunger or liliana.
Thats off hand none of them seem lke an EXCELLENT choices.

We wait for Zem to make the first post since he is the RDW pater familias.



I imagine the Primer will be moved by a mod - eventually - at Zem's request.

There's a subforum for this now in competitive. All discussion is going there for now. I'm going to close this thread as it is now obsolete.
