In what Red is really good about other than direct damage and Haste creatures? It seems to me every other color does something Red does, but more efficiently.

Effects that Red is the top color at: (off the top of my head)

- First strike (primary along with white)

- Panic effects ("target creature can't block")

- Temporarily stealing

- Land destruction

- Firebreathing

- Rummaging ("Discard and draw")

- Impulsive draw

- having additional combat phases

- temporary mana production

Could you give me a Storm Crow decklist for I am thirsty for power?

I whipped something up:http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/a-storm-from-your-nightmares/

Do you remember which tumblr contains a nice chart of the combat tricks for pre release? I think I saw it in one edition of RTR block or THS block. Can you help/reblog me?

So far, I'm unsure which one has it. =/

maybe our followers can reply and help out. :D

Can we have some Zedruu love? I know there's already a list with her, but I was thinking in something more permanent-oriented. Can you help me out? Also, congrats on the blog, your work is awesome!

I normally don’t redo commanders, but I’ll toss you a couple ideas I’ve had. I don’t know if they’re as strong as the previous Zedruu list I came up with, but if you’re looking for a different flavor of Zedruu, you might enjoy these.

US Steel: Blue and white give you tons of artifact tutors and recursion (Argivian Archaeologist, Enlightened Tutor, Fabricate, Hanna, Academy Ruins), while red gives you Goblin Welder and a million ways to tutor it out (Goblin Matron, Goblin Recruiter, Moggcatcher). Ostensibly, the deck is about getting value with artifacts like Burnished Hart, Duplicant, and Solemn Simulacrum, but in reality, it’s just one big Mindslaver engine.

Superfriends: The metric I would use to determine which planeswalkers to run is whether or not the walker affects the board meaningfully or draws cards. That leaves us with Elsepth 2.0, Elspeth 3.0, Pyromaster Chandra, Gideon 1.0, Karn, Jaces 2-4, Tezzeret 1.0, and Tamiyo. We can throw in some proliferate, and a bunch of board wipes that don’t touch planeswalkers, like Devastation, Obliterate, Decree of Annihilation, Jokulhaups, Nevinyrral’s Disk, Austere Command, Akroma’s Vengeance, etc etc. Maybe fill out the deck with some ETB creatures and some standard Zedruu donate targets (Pyromancer’s Swath, Celestial Dawn, Statecraft).

I hope that was helpful! If I have any more ideas, I’ll edit them into this post. If any readers have any ideas for themes for a UWR deck, feel free to let me know about them in a comment or reblog.
