I've been developing Rorix in Duel Commander for nearly a year now. One time somebody got on my case about net-decking a Kami of the Crescent Moon Polymorph deck so I decided to find a mono red guy to homebrew with. I don't win very often but I get close and always have fun. The idea is to multiply mana/damage and run just enough disruption to finish the beat down. When I do win, it's almost always with no time to spare.
So I developed this on my own shortly after getting into Duel Commander. It's a ton of fun, it surprises my opponents almost every time, and it shows some of mono-red's allegedly lacking versatility. I'm new to Salvation so idk how to tag cards and make a decklist post look decent. I would really appreciate if someone could help me make a primer for this deck!
