Tolarian Community College can i order the battle decks anywhere in germany without crazy shipping costs? I want them to play with my best friend but i don't want too spend more for shipping than for the decks
Hmmm......thematic decks premade at around 10 bucks a pop? Those battle decks sound like a great idea to grab a bunch for game nights. Have a dozen or so, maybe do some planechase or archenemy with it. weeks of fun to be had it not more. Thanks for the idea prof.
Great primer! I'm sure a lot of people will be able to benefit from it after seeing themselves exiled to casual magic because of absurde prices in standard.
Thanks Tolarian your videos have encouraged me to start playing Magic. Also I have been helping teach my friends the game too it is an amazing past time for us.Thank You!!!
I just wanna say I love your standard deck videos, the deck ive been running since kaladesh is a modified version of the green energy deck you posted awhile back. That deck has one me many 1st place victories at FNM and is a ton of fun. I cant wait to try this out! thanks again!
I just tried to build the deck at my lgs and they quoted it at $110 now, so it's continuing to rise. Sucks that a solid budget option can so quickly grow.
Ran into a pair of these at gameday this past weekend. Can confirm they are completely capable of plowing through lifegain heavy decks. My cats were a little signed coming out of the tournament.
Very nice and very fun deck you posted. I will try to put this together and see if a tweak here or there will suit my playstyle! Thanks you Professor for all the time and effort you put into these videos.
Bloodrage brawlers rock in this deck too. Good synergy with Hazoret mid-late game. Nice video prof. Time to put a couple/few flaying tendrils back in the side.
Bomat Courier is great. Even if you don't have the mana open and your opponent kills the Courier, it's most likely gotten in for a few points of damage and drawn a removal spell. Not bad for 1 colorless! Late game use it to cycle your hand. Great 1-drop in this deck
I was getting ready to put this deck together because it was fun and affordable and then it showed up 5 times in the Top 8 of the PT and one version actually won (all variants of course.) Which is awesome but also made some of the cards way more expensive :(
Whenever I have to play standard I just build one of the profs decks. I'm a modern and commander player, standard doesn't interest me but I love to support my LGS. So a budget deck like this is perfect for me to get some games in and enjoy the company of my fellow players.
i tried with an artifact called fleetwheel cruiser 4 mana for a 5/3 with trample, haste and auto-crew the first turn, not the same thing but still works
I've had great success in mono red since Kaladesh. What I'm running that you seem to be missing? Pump Spells! Built to Smash and Invigorated Rampage combined with Renegade Tactics is great for big damage.
Classic RDW, got a love it. Only real issue I see is that nearly a third of it is going to rotate out when Ixalan drops, so it's got a pretty short life span. Still, I guess that's the price you pay when you play standard.
No flings or the 1 mana enchantment that gives +3+3 but puts a -1-1 counter on it every turn. Someone at my local game store falconrath gorgered into two of the enchantments and the flung it at me the next turn before the -1-1 counters were on it, and then would have had enough burn spells to kill me, but it was game 2 and I sided in 4 negates and drew a hand with 3.
It's like Wizards went, "okay, what does Red not have? A way to refill its hand and late game gas? Alright print Boumat Courier and Earthshaker Khenra. Eh, fuck it, make the lands deal damage, and a good red planeswalker for once." They gave us Red aggro players everything we wanted and we fucked up the pro Tour because of it. Never been happier.
Great video! I have two questions. When you are playing an aggressive deck such as this one, when would one generally mulligan their opening hand? (For instance, one may have too little lands. In turn, they should mulligan their opening hand). Also, should you always just swing at face with minions on the board? Thanks!
I was doing some trades last week to collect most of this deck then was going to buy rest today only find out hazoret has now jumped to 15$. Earthshaker at 7$ now and bromat 3$. This would have been my first standard deck as I am a commander player. Well I guess I'll await your next standard budget deck recommendation!
I've been playing a similar but more midrange build without the 1 drops or hazoret, but with TKS and a couple Chandra at 4 and going up to 5 for glorybringer
It reminds me your excellent video about the budget standard mardu warrior theme back in the day. Do you plan to make a few modern decks videos in the near future ? Greetings from a french player ;)
Pretty interesting, i played rdw in amonkhet but i have 2 questions: 1. question: where is soul scar mage? 2. Question: how can a deck with 2 chandras in the sideboard be 40$? The 2 Chandras alone cost more than 40$
I want to build my first Standard deck and I like this one, but i don't want it to be obsolete after the new rotation. Which other cards could replace the ones from Innistrad? This are the ones: 4x Falkenrath Gorger 1x Hanweir Battlements 2x Hanweir Garrison 4x Incendiary Flow 4x Reckless Bushwacker 4x Village Messenger Thanks!
Could you do a more in depth video of how to play this deck please? I've gone ahead and bought the cards for it but I'm a newish player and it would be super useful if you could go further into the strategy. Thanks :-) !
I personally prefer Shock to Incendiary Flow. The 1 mana is alot easier to cast, and helps bring Bushwhacker online. The instant speed allows alot more tricks and is probably the best reason to play it. Granted, I think they're best with at least a couple of Soul-Scar Mages.
Love the post! I just started getting into magic hard core this year and I am focused on learning to be a great player, but in less then two months standard is going to rotate out, so is there any substitutes to the cards that will rotate out? Thank you!
In my RDW I like Insult // Injury. At $0.50 each they are cheap and can shave a turn off of the game winning out of nowhere. I also love Bloodrage Brawler and Combat Celebrant. None of them cost much and I think they all outperform Hazoret the Fervent that is sometimes a dead card.
I wonder why these new lists aren't running Scourge Wolf. Yours especially looks like it can run it with the Courier and the Cartouche being able to reliably trigger delerium.
I play Gruul Energy Gods, which is aggro itself. I could play Kessig Prowler again (currently Greenbelt Rampager is in this slot), which is superior to Falkenrath Gorger. I also play the Earthshaker Khenra. My Serpopard hits for 4. Bristling Hydra as playset and three of Glorybringer are the upper curve. Should I include life gain? How can I buy enough time against Ramunap Red?
Any thoughts on the eldrazi version of this deck that runs reality smasher and thought-knot seer? obviously the eldrazi build is more expensive, but I think it's also stronger.
9/20/2016 Each Bomat Courier you control has its own cache of cards. Bomat Courier’s last ability only puts those cards into your hand, not those of any other Bomat Courier.

+Michael Hamilton, Are you THE Michael Hamilton of 4C Control legend? :o
ram-u-nap Are you sure you're a professor?
“Nothing is getting banned from this list.”
Bold prediction, Prof.
XD
This deck just won the Pro Tour, great job solving the meta Prof !
Wait until you see my solution to mono red!
Good ol' RDW. Good to see you back, friend!
Anyone else miss Stoke the Flames?
Anyone else miss Lightning Bolt?
Incendiary Flow is....it's niii....yeah. Yeah I miss Lightning Bolt. BAD.
I mean, of COURSE I miss bolt.
Hey Professor!
O P E N F I R E
With the way recent creatures have been destroying the vanilla test I have a feeling Bolt's coming back
Wizards takes your "Nothing is going to be banned from this list" as a chalange and bans Mountain
Best ban ever
blood moon time
Actually Ramunap Ruins is actually banned now so...
Great primer! I'm sure a lot of people will be able to benefit from it after seeing themselves exiled to casual magic because of absurde prices in standard.
I love how you explain things so that they will make sense to new players, but that the explanation doesn't bore experienced players.
This is by far one of the best MTG channels on TH-cam. Thanks for your articulate explanation and insight. Always interesting to watch your videos.
Thank you so much. That's really nice of you to say and it made my night. :)
While more of a Grixis person myself I love seeing red find a resurgence in standard, it's been long overdue.
Thanks Tolarian your videos have encouraged me to start playing Magic. Also I have been helping teach my friends the game too it is an amazing past time for us.Thank You!!!
I just wanna say I love your standard deck videos, the deck ive been running since kaladesh is a modified version of the green energy deck you posted awhile back. That deck has one me many 1st place victories at FNM and is a ton of fun. I cant wait to try this out! thanks again!
And with RDW winning Pro Tour, this $40 deck is now a $80 deck.
I just tried to build the deck at my lgs and they quoted it at $110 now, so it's continuing to rise. Sucks that a solid budget option can so quickly grow.
I love it. Great to see Red in the spotlight, budget in the spotlight, and one of the best deck techs I've seen from TCC in the spotlight.
"Nothing is getting banned on this list"
Standard:
Ramunap Ruins is Banned
Thanks for uploading this, I was sad when I saw this was removed.
The last time I played a RDW deck was back in Time Spiral. This looks interesting though!
Ur awesome u helped me so much with my commander deck and at drafting keep up the good videos
My absolute pleasure.
Ran into a pair of these at gameday this past weekend. Can confirm they are completely capable of plowing through lifegain heavy decks. My cats were a little signed coming out of the tournament.
I can't believe you are tempting me to make a standard deck but RDW is my thing... Great video Prof. :)
Very nice and very fun deck you posted. I will try to put this together and see if a tweak here or there will suit my playstyle! Thanks you Professor for all the time and effort you put into these videos.
Been play testing the deck on xmage, consistently winning by turn 4-5. The tempo you gain off of the cannot block triggers is awesome.
Professor can you please make a modern deck lecture on abzan
I love all of your deck techs. They are really engaging.
Bloodrage brawlers rock in this deck too. Good synergy with Hazoret mid-late game. Nice video prof. Time to put a couple/few flaying tendrils back in the side.
Best trailer I've ever seen. You should give the movie trailer announcer voice... "In a world of convoluted decks..."
omg this deck is so zippy. I love it.
As someone who is looking at coming back to mtg. Thanks for this video.
Prof,
Thank you so much for your amazing videos and helpful guides. Keep up the great work!
Bomat Courier is great. Even if you don't have the mana open and your opponent kills the Courier, it's most likely gotten in for a few points of damage and drawn a removal spell. Not bad for 1 colorless! Late game use it to cycle your hand. Great 1-drop in this deck
I Will start playing standard because of this. Thank you so much professor
I was getting ready to put this deck together because it was fun and affordable and then it showed up 5 times in the Top 8 of the PT and one version actually won (all variants of course.) Which is awesome but also made some of the cards way more expensive :(
the legendary double upload.

tolarian. thank you. thank you so much. haven't played standard in some time. might toss this together.
Ugh! Yes! Please! This is what ive been wanting! Budget standard decks!!
Sweet combo with bomat courier discarding your falkenrath gorgers
We love you, Professor!
hi tolarian Hazorvet is 16 dollars now, are there replacements for her or should I try another budget deck? what do you reccomend?
i tried with an artifact called fleetwheel cruiser 4 mana for a 5/3 with trample, haste and auto-crew the first turn, not the same thing but still works
Thanks to the professor im was inspired by his videos to become a mtg player
A cheap deck that seems like a lot of fun to play. Sure, I might use this to play a few FNM's and get ''back'' into standard I guess =) Thanks prof!
I've had great success in mono red since Kaladesh. What I'm running that you seem to be missing? Pump Spells! Built to Smash and Invigorated Rampage combined with Renegade Tactics is great for big damage.
Omg you are actually so helpful, Love this channel
Classic RDW, got a love it. Only real issue I see is that nearly a third of it is going to rotate out when Ixalan drops, so it's got a pretty short life span. Still, I guess that's the price you pay when you play standard.
More of these please prof!!!!
I really like your decks lists the infect deck helped me win 2 and 1
The deck that was everywhere in protour
Love the deck!!! Instantly my new favorite deck.
My friends hate it when I play this deck so much , I love it
Nice one professor! Sweet deck!
I needed this! I want to get into standard
No flings or the 1 mana enchantment that gives +3+3 but puts a -1-1 counter on it every turn. Someone at my local game store falconrath gorgered into two of the enchantments and the flung it at me the next turn before the -1-1 counters were on it, and then would have had enough burn spells to kill me, but it was game 2 and I sided in 4 negates and drew a hand with 3.

They gave us Red aggro players everything we wanted and we fucked up the pro Tour because of it. Never been happier.
The best combo in Standard right now (in my opinion); Reckless Fireweaver + Ornithopter/ any other artifact spell.
I think Insult // injury would fit quite well in this deck.
Prof, there's gotta be a way to create a link in the comments for people to click to instantly populate an order for this deck from Card Kingdom.
Not usually a fan of RDW, but wow this looks fun.
Abrade is an awesome card that could be concidered for the sideboard :)
I really want to see a complete vintage 4th edition deck tech if any kind
this deck might even be cheaper if your LGS has a free box
I absolutely love your videos, they have amazing tips and awesome deck builds. Keep up the great work 😉😃😃😄😄
Great video! I have two questions. When you are playing an aggressive deck such as this one, when would one generally mulligan their opening hand? (For instance, one may have too little lands. In turn, they should mulligan their opening hand). Also, should you always just swing at face with minions on the board? Thanks!
Aaaaaaaand Ramuap Ruins is banned.
I was doing some trades last week to collect most of this deck then was going to buy rest today only find out hazoret has now jumped to 15$. Earthshaker at 7$ now and bromat 3$. This would have been my first standard deck as I am a commander player. Well I guess I'll await your next standard budget deck recommendation!
I've been playing a similar but more midrange build without the 1 drops or hazoret, but with TKS and a couple Chandra at 4 and going up to 5 for glorybringer
I'm sorry but I every video you make, I always rewind the beginning theme song about ten times cause I love how I sound
It reminds me your excellent video about the budget standard mardu warrior theme back in the day.
Do you plan to make a few modern decks videos in the near future ?
Greetings from a french player ;)
You don't have too explain. Great job
Pretty interesting, i played rdw in amonkhet but i have 2 questions:
1. question: where is soul scar mage?
2. Question: how can a deck with 2 chandras in the sideboard be 40$? The 2 Chandras alone cost more than 40$
I want to build my first Standard deck and I like this one, but i don't want it to be obsolete after the new rotation. Which other cards could replace the ones from Innistrad? This are the ones:
4x Falkenrath Gorger
1x Hanweir Battlements
2x Hanweir Garrison
4x Incendiary Flow
4x Reckless Bushwacker
4x Village Messenger
Thanks!
Which commander 2016 precon should I get, I really like the saskia deck, but I am not sure if that is the best/easiest to upgrade
Could you do a more in depth video of how to play this deck please? I've gone ahead and bought the cards for it but I'm a newish player and it would be super useful if you could go further into the strategy. Thanks :-) !
In the sideboard of the list in the description, what is the Cradle of the Accursed for?
TBH, I like commander the most out of all game modes, I use hapatra, viseer of poisons and Ayli, eternal Pyligram
I personally prefer Shock to Incendiary Flow. The 1 mana is alot easier to cast, and helps bring Bushwhacker online. The instant speed allows alot more tricks and is probably the best reason to play it. Granted, I think they're best with at least a couple of Soul-Scar Mages.
Love the post! I just started getting into magic hard core this year and I am focused on learning to be a great player, but in less then two months standard is going to rotate out, so is there any substitutes to the cards that will rotate out? Thank you!
Hey, I was wondering if you would do a RB minotaurs video for a standard deck and what you would put into it?
In my RDW I like Insult // Injury. At $0.50 each they are cheap and can shave a turn off of the game winning out of nowhere. I also love Bloodrage Brawler and Combat Celebrant. None of them cost much and I think they all outperform Hazoret the Fervent that is sometimes a dead card.
"Nothing is getting ban on this list" WotC: Hold my beer.
Did anyone else see the whole video before it was taken down?
I wasn't wondering why chandra and glorybringer aren't in the deck, however I am wondering why not use bloodrage brawler and eldrazi obligator.
I wonder why these new lists aren't running Scourge Wolf. Yours especially looks like it can run it with the Courier and the Cartouche being able to reliably trigger delerium.
you had me at KARI ZEV!
I play Gruul Energy Gods, which is aggro itself. I could play Kessig Prowler again (currently Greenbelt Rampager is in this slot), which is superior to Falkenrath Gorger. I also play the Earthshaker Khenra. My Serpopard hits for 4. Bristling Hydra as playset and three of Glorybringer are the upper curve. Should I include life gain? How can I buy enough time against Ramunap Red?
hey professor can you make another artifact deck for morden pls love you content
When talking about Hazoret at 6:45 "at.. wow. Almost $6 dollars each"... Lol. Right now it's $18! If only we bought as many as w could at $5.50...
hmm, some things will need to switched out real real soon though once standard rotates for ixalan.
The Prof... Making solo red great again.
Any thoughts on the eldrazi version of this deck that runs reality smasher and thought-knot seer? obviously the eldrazi build is more expensive, but I think it's also stronger.
Anyone know the song from ~1:52? I checked in the description but it wasn't any of those.
Hey should i buy the commander anthology?
Here you go, friend: th-cam.com/video/LtviiBnyOqM/w-d-xo.html
Tolarian Community College Thank you ups
And this is the story of how the Professor won the Pro Tour.
Probably a silly question, but can Bomat Courier B activate it's abilities for Bomat Courier A. If that makes sense.
9/20/2016 Each Bomat Courier you control has its own cache of cards. Bomat Courier’s last ability only puts those cards into your hand, not those of any other Bomat Courier.
No, it cannot. when it says the name like that it just means that card itself.
If you have two Bomat couriers out and each has attacked and exiled cards, sacrificing one will only give you the cards that specific courier exiled.
Thanks for the answer. :D
I LOVE RED
what would you substitute in place of the deserts if you didnt want to run them. at least ramuhs desert getting the cut.
Wondering if red deck wins will be still a good deck after the rotation in September
I feel like trial of zeal is better than incindiary flow for main deck, and magma spray should be the flows.
going to bulid this without the bfz and shadows stuff so I can use it when rotation happenes
"Nothing in this deck is in danger of getting banned..." RIP Ramunap Ruins!
You rock, professor
Abrade along side a release the gremlins seems nice.
Abrade is a possible alternate in this list. Almost talked about it, but I like my list without it and was pressed for time.
