Hopefully this is the correct forum to post this in; first time I have been here. I am making my first attempt at a competitive Magic deck in about, oh, 16 years, and in that time I’ve played maybe a couple of times. A few weeks ago I was bitten by the old bug and wanted to make a go at it again. So I’ve been researching what is in Standard and came up with this as a first draft at the deck I am thinking about putting together. If anyone has a few minutes I’d love some thoughts on it. I don’t mind spending the money on it but it be nice to know if I am going to be laughed out of an games first
I’m going to readily admit I an R U S T Y so please, feel free to critique it to pieces. No sideboard yet; I want to get the deck mechanics down first
I think the reason you haven't had much feedback is because your deck looks pretty much like any cookie cutter RW vehicles deck. You can check out the thread in the competitive forum for ideas on this deck.
Nevertheless, the first thing you'd want to do is to raise your land count to 24. Creatures these days hit so hard compared to the past that missing a land drop is devastating. Additionally, Lightning Axe is not suitable for this deck as you'd end up 2 for 1-ing yourself most of the time.
