Sakari's Awesome Wallpaper of the Week #8

My second last wallpaper of the week in Japan!

Two Red Decks

I was bored so I decided to share two of the red decks I've designed (no one bothers to read the decks I know). Both are really, really red as you can see soon and that's the reason I find them fun. Nuff said, let's roll...


Totally Red Deck That Doesn't Quite Win

Creatures
4 Karplusan Wolverine R
3 Frostling R
1 Mogg Fanatic R
4 Heartlash Cinder 1R
3 Mudbrawler Cohort 1R
3 Orcish Cannoneers 1RR
1 Orcish Artillery 1RR
4 Spur Grappler 2R
4 Lesser Gargadon 2RR
=27 Creature

Noncreatures
3 Shock R
4 Volcanic Hammer 1R
2 Puncture Blast 2R
2 Burn Trail 3R
=11 Noncreatures

Lands
22 Mountain
=22 Lands

This one's just a boring all-out aggro red deck like my goblin deck. Its built around cards that I own. I think I will do this deck since the total cost of cards that I don't own is just 2,41€

I don't like all-out aggro decks all that much because they don't give the player any options. But there's something that I like in this particular deck. Its all those creatures that hurt me perhaps more than the opponent that make it look fun so. Orcish Cannoneers deals 3 damage to me while dealing 2 damage to any target. I need to sacrifice a land every time I attack or block with Lesser Gargadon. But personal favourite is Spur Grappler. It gets bigger if I don't control any untapped lands. Tapping all my lands and mana burning just to make Spur Grappler bigger is just something I like. This is like a therapy deck. I can just drop lands and play funny creatures and laugh out loud.

Time for the red deck number 2.


Big Red Turn One

Creatures
4 Simian Spirit Guide 2R
3 Arc Slogger 3RR
3 Savage Firecat 3RR
4 Deus of Calamity RRRRR/GGGGG
=14 Creatures

Noncreatures
4 Lotus Petal 0
4 Rite of Flame R
4 Manamorphose 1R/G
4 Desperate Ritual 1R
4 Seething Song 2R
4 Empty the Warrens 3R
=24 Noncreatures

Lands
22 Mountain
=22 Lands


The idea of this deck is to use "rituals" to play a big red fatty or gigantic Empty the Warrens on turn one or two. I just want to see my opponent's face when I play turn one Deus of Calamity and he doesn't have a Terror in his hand. This deck looks sweet in a way and can be powerful but its really vulnerable since just one Terror or Unsummon can ruin its day. But who cares!

This deck was inspired by a deck I saw on the net that was top 8 at worlds 2008. The particular deck played a full set of Blood Moon and Magus of the Moon and the big fatties it used were Deus of Calamity and Demigod of Revenge. The rest of the deck was rituals and Empty the Warrens. So my decklist is kind of a budget version of that deck.


Anyway do you guys know that a finnish guy won MtG Worlds this year? With faeries!

Feel free to comment the two decks above.

Sakari's Awesome Wallpaper of the Week #7

Time for some grim, politically themed anarchy.
I believe I have two more of these, a euro and a yen note, if I could be bothered to search for them.

Happy Christmas from Johannes

And a merry new year.

Sakari's Awesome Wallpaper of the Week #6

Today is time for one of my favourite wallpapers. At the same time stylish, epic, with a touch of humour and an awesome steampunk theme, it's a good 'un.
Next week something dark!
