Hi guys! I'm looking for suggestions on my mono-red Adamaro deck. I figured it would be fun to try out an ultra aggressive "pressure" deck. Let me know if I missed any hidden gems or cool combos!
I'm sure I forgot some staples (might even be off on the card count), but I'm in a hurry and I won't be able to check back until Thursday. Until then, have fun!
Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle is an auto include for Mono-Red. Expedition Map to fetch it up. Gauntlet of Power as another flare effect. Godo is good for one hit kills with Grafted Exoskeleton. Buried Ruin for recurring artifacts. Warstorm Surge and Vicious Shadows for abusing EtB/LtB. Dragon Mage is a wheel on a stick. Anger gives dudes haste, as does Urabrask the Hidden. Taurean Mauler gets really big, really fast. Avatar of Fury is a really efficient beater. Mind's Eye gives red some card draw.
Switching to Snow-covered Mountains will keep you safe if you use Wake of Destruction against another deck playing red, and it will also make your Extraplanar Lens more effective versus most red decks. I personally use Scrying Sheets for card filtering in the late game.
I'm a huge mono-red fan, so I love seeing another mono-red deck on here. Go get 'em.:thumbsup:

The only problem is that snow lands are so expensive to acquire en-masse. (Kind of ironic coming from the guy who put Gauntlet of Might in his list.) The only real benefit from Snow lands is Scrying Sheets and Extraplanar Lense. I hardly EVER expect to name "Mountain" with Wake of Destruction, although I do agree that Snow Lands would be "strictly better." Just not enough better
O Stone, Disk, Spine of Ish Sa, Karn, and to a lesser extent Mycosynth Lattice and/or Liquimetal Coating + artifact destruction are red's ways of killing enchantments. However, my first version (maybe not the "best") was an attempt to be super aggro. The cards mentioned above are slow and clunky. Ideally, this deck wants to hose the entire table on lands so that pesky enchantments don't enter the mix. I could be dead wrong, but it is worth trying!

Extraplanar Lens, Gauntlet of Power, and Caged Sun can all be massive mana increasers for a mono-color deck.

Thanks to Syndarion of Aeternal Studios for my sig!
