Rivals of Ixalan Brews, pt. 3 – Big Red

Big Red has always been one of my favorite archetypes. Ben Stark already showed us that it’s possible, but now we have new tools. The two that feels the best are [scryfall]Etali, Primal Storm[/scryfall] and [scryfall]Dire Fleet Daredevil[/scryfall]. There’s also, possibly, [scryfall]Rekindling Phoenix[/scryfall], if the metagame is right.

Using Stark’s deck as basis, this might work:

[deck]
[creatures]
4 Bomat Courier
3 Dire Fleet Daredevil
2 Kari Zev, Skyship Raider
3 Rampaging Ferocidon
3 Sand Strangler
3 Glorybringer
2 Etali, Primal Storm
[/creatures]
[spells]
3 Chandra, Torch of Defiance
3 Abrade
3 Magma Spray
2 Treasure Map // Treasure Cove
4 Lightning Strike
[/spells]
[lands]
13 Mountain
4 Ramunap Ruins
3 Sunscorched Desert
3 Dunes of the Dead
2 Scavenger Grounds
[/lands]
[/deck]
