Thanks! I'll look for the thread. Yeah Nykthos/Garruk would be 100% perfect EXCEPT that I'm trying to make it more banty colors than mostly green, but I could definitely be swayed on this. Mirror entity looks pretty crazy, good mana dump. Appreciate the help
Where is the 1v1 casual deck thread? I don't see one, and 1v1 is technically multiplayer :P.
And yeah, I could make the deck better, bigger, and have more combos, but I really just want a fun deck that's casual and gives my opponents a chance. The hardest deck I will have to play against with my friends is one of my own that they're using or a kiln fiend burn deck, so I'm just looking for something fun, solid, thematic, and fair. Not something that can combo off on turn 4 75% of the time. That's not fun for me, I want creature/enchantment/spell interaction with a similar deck.
Sorry if this is unusual, I just don't want to get a super good deck that my friends can't beat without spending tons of money just to never play it cause it's too good for them lol. I understand that everybody's play circle is different though, and I appreciate the tips.
I'm looking to make a fun red/white deck with speed and control on the low end of the curve and powerful burn/lifegain at the top end for simple and fun card advantage the whole way through.
Going to ignore the mana base for now and focus on the cards. I'm imagining 22-24 lands, will go with 22 for now to talk about more cards.
never underestimate a gelectrode with a curiosity on it... such a deadly combo with preordain in terms of tempo and knowing what you're going to draw then drawing it at will
yeah that's pretty much the only thing I'm lacking at the moment. I cut my top end pretty hard so I would like either more ramp+bigger creatures, or better tempo/draw and I think the latter might prove more effective.
4 Utopia Sprawl
4 Kiora, Master of the Depths
4 Knight of the Reliquary
1 Arcanis the Omnipotent
1 Bear Umbra
1 Gaea's Cradle
1 Oran-Rief, the Vastwood
Any cards along this theme that would be fun but not too broken(not trying to combo out turn 3 every game please)

I mainly want to focus on Balefire Liege, Lightning Helix type effects, and solid creatures.
Isn't Spitemare just a weaker Boros Reckoner?
Brightflame looks fun but expensive. I couldn't see adding more than 1.
So outpost siege is essentially Draw a Card?

Thanks for your help!
