i've been playtesting this deck for a while now and always come back to it, its consitant and only relies on one type off mana, its has a 70% win ratio agains jund which is the most popular build. it's faster than the bro's deck, it's to fast for esper, vamps, naya, 5cc cascade and warp world. i also found that i can handle 1 wall of denial by going round it but the 1 card you can't go round is the baneslayer i know there's a lot of hype about this card and its for good reason you have to have cards to stop it that's way i main board the magma rift they realy help out when things are starting to turn.
with the constant turn 4/5 victorys means you can win a lot of games before they even start. (especially against 3 color decks.)
the problems begin and end with the mirror it's unpredictable normaly whom ever goes first wins.

I invented this deck and you play a misbuilt version of it. Appeal must be a 4-of, same is true for Peeks. Magma Rift is shit. If you fear Fameslayer, play Mark of Mutiny maindeck. Nevertheless you will lose to Deft Duelist and Wall of Denial as well as Wall of Reverence.

Finally said, the time for RDW is unfortunately over, it was good the one month since release where people were dumb and played pile.dec... You won´t win anything more with it...

Duodax sorry to burst your bubble, but you didn't invent this deck. Tons of people came up with a list just like this on their own, within a few cards. Some of them played less 1 drops and ran Geopede, and most ran 4 appeal and 0 magma rift, but they were basically all the same.

some one showed up to my fmn with RDW.......he lost--every match lol....... My advice for your deck.....don't play with it in this format. You see the reason you have this illusion that rdw is good is either you are playing against poor players or your are not playing with sideboards. For example with Jund first game there is a chance that you will win cause the jund player will not be expecting someone to play rdw and he will not hold back properly but g2 & g3 will be different. since he will be ready for a turn three ball lightning he will hold back the mana for a bolt or a burst lightning. and will continue to do so until you run out of spells then you are dead cause rdw has no capacity for card advantage with nilch for late game play.....
