According to Ben Stark the key to making Blue/Red work is to take the 1/4 Raptor, 0/3 Glistening Seer, 1/3 blue guy that becomes a 3/3 later and 1/3 red two drop above most things, take removal, and take the 5/5 Strider vehicle over the 4/3 flyer and just make sure they can't attack past you at any point, then win at turn 1000 sometime when you're filtering through your draws and they aren't.
Just saying thank you, i'm at 8:17, haven't watched the matches yet, but I've been trying to draft what you've drafted already for a while.. can't wait to see what happens.
awe you cut the strider.. well maybe I'll have to keep trying.. want to see if furnace bombs plus enough other strats can just keep them active.. I'd have probs cut the chimera.. can you say why you feel it's better?
I finally got to draft something very close to this list the other day and it's a lot of fun. I went with a 9:7 split on the mana base though just because the UU cost of Mesmerizing Dose is kind of rough and this archetype always seems to end up with far more blue cards than red.
I feel like, at this point in the format, enough people know blue is bad that you can often be the only blue drafter at your table, so you get whatever you want. Kinda like black in avacyn restored. You can get a functional deck, even though blue isnt as deep.
Why do you value the red spellbomb above the blue one? If they kill your thing you dont draw a card, with the blue one you always draw because they wont kill their own creature
blue is too slow, red with his best card chimera or trawler drake is very good, even axiom engraver gets you two more cards with it. considering his deck is 100% oil counter synergy and the format is filled with cheap creatures, 4 mana to bounce one is too much. IMHO

Whiiich, you pretty much did... For the record I'm not sure I believe Ben, so I'm keen to see how this deck goes in your trusty trusty hands.
do all these things then lose to hazardous blast
U/R can work with Forge, Urabrask and 2 Ovika
Blue is free real estate this set since everyone assumes it is bad and passes all the good cards. I've gone 7 wins multiple times with it.

Barbed Batterfist and Unctus' Retrofitter are a hell of a combo drug
those were indeed pretty fricking nice draws

Dang, Ezuri was there too! So good with Tekuthal.
Finally, a Non-Gruul Deck.
This set is so synergy based it’s crazy how retrofitter is literally busted in blue white but I also think the best blue red decks run 0 of them
So you wouldnt pick a retrofitter if you eventually going to u r?
44:58 you don’t equip 4/4 batterfist because of fears of volt charge but volt charge could just take out retrofitter anyway.
Kenji is so good that he can ignore his own advice and still destroy all comers. 🤷🏻♂️
Just realized that nonzero of my fitness motivation comes from Kenji mentioning his workouts while he streams. Cheers Numot!
Just a tad unlucky... nice blue
i would also appreciate the screen name Theether-Thallid
Sweet deck

Because of the 3 synthesizers, 2 chimeras, and trawler drake.
It's so sad to lose three games with lands issue.
47 minute video? oh he probably does get 7 wins. no, he just crushes them at record speed
Ugh. Just lost a game where I talked myself out of the right play.
is CaesarThallid a pun? i get thallid is a type of mtg creature. My english is falling me here.
Caesar salad
