Daily Digest: Sandy Red

It may seem unintuitive, but even in a Siege Rhino Standard, red decks find a way! Check out the latest spin on one of the oldest strategies in Magic before #SCGMINN!

If you follow MTGO at all, you’ve probably seen SandyDogMTG cutting it up with red decks. Each format he seems to have a handle on what red decks need to
win and he’s trying to figure it out again.

The Goblin Rabblemaster + Stoke the Flames interaction is clearly the starting point, but where to go from there? Red doesn’t have the best creatures right
now, but things like Borderland Marauder do the trick.

The selling point to Mono-Red has never been the creatures though–it’s the efficient burn that gets your creatures through, and red has plenty of that
right now.

With Siege Rhino at the forefront of everyone’s mind, it’s tough for red decks out there, but you can make it happen if you try hard enough.
