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!
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!

I kid, I kid...
Kokusho wins the game the fastest, but any of the three would be perfectly acceptable.
