The Top 50 list is great. I love it. You love it. However, of the top 25 red creatures, only a handful have {T} abilities. Right now I'd like to build a Urabrask the Hidden deck that utilizes "my guys have haste".....but not just for attacking. I'd like to flash a creature in and blast away with an activated ability with {T} on it....because I can. =P
(I bought a Vedalken Orrery and Urabrask in the same week, and I thought they might work pretty well together. I also think I'll finally be able to abuse Braid of Fire.)
While technically not a tap ability, I do like me some Hateflayer action.

........yeah, I just went through the list myself, and it is terrible. Dang.
Hateflayer I didn't consider because you have to tap him somehow first. Otherwise the other suggestions were all ideas I wanted to use. Maybe an artifact creature subtheme? Ugh.

Geez, mono decks all want the same artifacts. I better get another Rings of Brighthearth!
Yeah, I kinda think the artifact creature strategy is the best one (in addition to all the other stuff). It'll be fun....and allow me to use Slobad, Liquimetal Coating, and some phoenixes.
I had an idea for a combo in an Urabrask the Hidden deck... I know Myr Propagator was already mentioned, but I would suggest putting that in with Mana Echoes for an infinite myr combo with your general. Another carrd that does this without a tap effect is Myr Matrix. Anything that produces creatures for a colorless price really, although winning with an army of Myr Propagators WOULD be the shiz.:D
I just re-read Aladdin and realized it doesn't have a "as long as its tapped" restriction... Depending on your meta, this card can be AMAZING, especially with haste. You can essentially rob all the other players blind with him, equip him with stolen equipment to make sure he does't die from some weak burn spell, etc.

smack them in the face with him to get him tapped? they need a 10power guy in order to block profitibly(untap to wither before combat)
but the best red tap by a mile is kiki jiki. the only problem is that red doesnt have the best things to copy like ewit and prime time.
oh and i heard inferno titan goes well with haste.
So besides Viashino Heretic, Jaya Ballard, the dwarves, and Goblin Welder, what other creatures would you recommend with this strategy?

Mmm, make sure you add Thousand-Year Elixir for untap effects.

Don't forget copper gnomes either. Easy to recur, and powerful effect.

.........yeah, I know Kiki-Jiki is good, but he already has haste (as does Rakka Mar).....which is why I left KJ off the list.
