    Re: Ruby Storm

    It can also help keep opponent's DRS active and maybe grow their Goyf if they hadn't drawn a fetchland themselves, though that's rare.

    Re: Ruby Storm

    Mana rocks do reduce the flashback, but I believe several members here have already tried and dismissed Faithless Looting.

    Re: Ruby Storm

    I wouldn't play Browbeat in this deck even if it was just 5 damage for 2R without giving any options for the opponent. It just doesn't further our plan very much. Burn is the deck most suited to take...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    I feel like Browbeat is just plain bad, regardless of what kind of a deck you're playing it in. I could kinda see it in some very low powered format, but no way in Legacy.

    Re: Ruby Storm

    This is a good point. I recently won a game I absolutely should have lost, since my opponent (DnT) thought I was playing mono red Sneak Attack. He dropped a Prelate at 5 which didn't do anything to...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    I've been also testing Vieko's build now and I agree on both points. LED is just stupidly good. It's also great with Act on Impulse since the cards don't go in your hand. Also I have issues getting...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    Yeah the copies aren't cast so they're not countered. Also no effect on the converted mana cost.

    Re: Ruby Storm

    Yeah I lost to RG lands 2-1 yesterday thanks to turn 1 Sphere of Resistance and turn 2 Thorn of Amethyst in games 2 and 3. Helms and Medallions could help, but they're very difficult to get in play...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    Yeah I've had bad experiences against D&T. I know we're fast enough that we can often win before their hate comes online, but we're not always that fast. Thalia can come turn 2 and if they get...

    If you're really afraid of turn one shenanigans from Reanimator, there's always Faerie Macabre. It's instant speed, costs 0 and dodges Chancellor.

    Re: Ruby Storm

    I don't really like Spirit Guides either, but without them I get much worse opening hands. Also I've ended up casting the Guide several times when testing. It's never something I really want to do,...

    Re: Ruby Storm

    I have thought about that too. Then again, I suspect that there's several decent (if probably not DTB level) decks that could be built from Legacy card pool but just haven't been discovered.

    Also I like that you can even play a land with AOI, unlike with HUF. Sometimes it's relevant.

    I have to admit I am interested in trying Faithless Looting, though I don't think I'll play the full set. I've been keeping my list the same for several leagues in MTG Online now, figuring that...

    Re: Mono Red Storm

    After I lost my favorite deck (Quinn) with the Top ban, I had been looking for something else that I'd want to play. This deck seems a ton of fun and not very expensive.
