Taking the Initiative: R/W Purphoros Deck Tech

Hey guys, what's going on? This week I want to talk to you guys about the deck I hyped up in my Dragon's Maze article a couple weeks ago. Before I start on the deck though I want to say a brief something about GP: OKC a couple weekends ago. After building a very impressive W/R Heroic deck I barely missed making day two by one win finishing the tournament at X-3. I feel that I played alot better there than in Houston, my first two round losses being very close matches going game three both times. However I scrubbed out pretty hard in the 8th round by flooding out hard against a pretty solid GW list in game one and drawing only two lands in game two. So despite my improved play, the cards just didn't want to come through for me. Anyway, let's take a look at what is slowly beating out my former MG: Geist list and becoming my favorite deck I've built.

Setting Sail for Theros: Dragon's Maze

Gonna be honest guys I kinda phoned this article in, but I felt obligated to still get the list out there. I just wanted to be upfront that this isn't up to my usual standard quality of work. With the Grand Prix this weekend I had a decent amount of work I needed to get done along with some studying, and when I started making the list I realized that for half of these cards I was drawing at straws to show why they should be played. So let's get on with it shall we? Here are my picks of cards from Dragon's Maze.
