This deck is much faster than most red deck which go to knock out your resources before they go in for the kill.
This deck takes the initiative and goes all out.
In a format where wrath is not played as much i thought this would would warrant a try.
Thus far the results have be astounding. Although this deck scoops to a chalice set at 1, it have a very good matchup vs stax because of how many creatures i can power out by turn 4, thus limiting tangle wire.

Obviously bob is the engine of this deck which in lies the problem. Bob is pretty much needed to win most games unless i can consistently topdeck burn which I can't exactly rely on. I'm thinking of adding other good draw like nights whisper and such.

The board is currently a mess too. I'm playing the blood hand flames because of crap like ivory tower and ravenous baloth which gain life thus inpedeing my progress.

The deck is part burn part sui. All amazing.
Any suggestions?

Less swamps, More Fetch lands
More Fireblast
Red Elemental Blast/Pyroblast SB

Maybe Sacromancy instead of Fanatic, i dunno, fanatic might be better.

Genju is soo amazing, i thought about making this deck becuase i knew that genju would be demolishedi in an aggro control format like extended so i tried legacy. It's been workign realyl nicley, usually they don't have the lightning bolt to kill geju when its animated so i smackem for 6. I added Pryos and blasts. Anyone else?

Negator? Don't see why he shouldn't make an appearance. Price of progress seems savage as well.

For both the lasts posts, 1,5 is a largly aggro format right now with threshold, goblins, and fish decks, aswell ass the occational stompy. Negater and genju both really suck in that respect, however if your metagame is high combo laden (hulk flash, iggy pop, Solidarity ect) when genju and negater are fine choices.
