This is the deck that I am going to play with in the PTQ in Nurnburg, Germany.

4x Magus of the scroll (burn, or chump block and sack to GG)
3x Greater Gargadon (GG)
4x Mogg War Marshall (quick creatures, block and sack)
4x Keldon Marauders (3/3 for two dealing 2 Dmg, block/sack)
3x Stingscourger (bouncing and block/sack)
3x Emberwilde Auger (3 to the face like tube steak)

3x Ghostfire (once again, the tube steak effect)
4x Assault/ Battery (2 for 1, pendelhaven helps wth bat)
4x Rift Bolt (TUBE STEAK)
2x Brow Beat (Kind of tube steakish but only 2)
4x Firey Temper (pricey tube steak)

3x Keldon Megaliths (not bad)
2x Pendlehaven (powers up your 1/1's & plays battery)

16x Mountains EM EM GOOD

Sideboard

4x Avalance Riders
3x Boom Bust
3x Top Secret
2x Safe Haven
3x Sudden Shock

Now, when I say tubesteak, it means that it burns you directly, so no suing me for EO or sexual harassment.

Seriously though, I need to make sure that this deck is not going to flop during the tournament because I know first hand that there are going to be ALOT of slivers.

Okay, can we get some comments on the deck and not the difference between ghostfire and fiery temper, If this wasn't block, i would use char anyways

-4 mountain
+4 zoetic cavern

I used it, it's very good
it's both land in the early game and a 2/2 (ur opp can think it's a gathan and kill it) in the late game
very useful

I dont like the stingscourgers put the best creature of mra in this bloodknight. You maybe should also think about Sulfur elemental or Gathan raiders. Cut one pendelhaven add one Keldon Megaliths. Play Dead/gone over assualt battery cause bouncing a big guy can win you games. I am not a big fan of browbeat. Other than that i think its ok you will just have huge problems vs gw cause your creatures are a bit weak, maybe you realy think about gathan raiders i suggest cutting Keldon Marauders or the emberwilde auger. And with gathan you can think about the riddle tech which can just randomly win you games that would be hopless otherway.

I thought about Gathan raiders and really dont like to play the stings, also, i now have dead/ gone on my sideboard. I am just really afraid of w/g and b/u. b/u, i can side in Mad Akroma so she can finish but I dont really now what to ply to make a really quick, really dangerous mono red.
