| Molten Red |
| This is the deck that I built for the Pro Tour Qualifiers held in late 1999. The format was Urza's Block Constructed and for once there was a qualifier being held here in Richmond. With my limited card pool, and strong desire to play something unexpected, I modified some red weenie type decks that had been floating around the internet. It payed off as the deck took me to a fairly easy victory and Pro Tour appearance. |
| Here is a picture of the deck, along with the lovely first place envelope. The picture is a little grainy, so here is the decklist: |
| Molten Red: |
| Creatures Goblin Patrol X 4 Goblin Cadets X 4 Goblin Raider X 2 Goblin War Buggy X 1 Ghitu Slinger X 1 Molten Hydra X 4 Lightning Dragon X 3 Burn Parch X 4 Scent of Cinder X 4 Arc Lightning X 4 Reckless Abandon X 4 Acidic Soil X 2 Landslide X 1 Land Ghitu Encampment X 2 Mountain X 20 |
| The deck worked beautifully all day long, giving me a good mix of early creatures, and plenty of burn/creature removal. If you're really interested you can check out the tournament report I wrote shortly afterwards. |
