Mono-Red Another Round Aggro
StandardDeck Strategy
A fast mono-red aggro deck that uses Another Round to refuel and keep the pressure on.
Another Round exiles the top two cards of your library and lets you play them this turn, providing card advantage and enabling prowess-like effects. Reckless Lackey and Fugitive Codebreaker offer card selection and damage. Embereth Veteran and Charming Scoundrel create Role tokens that buff your creatures and provide resilience. Fear of Burning Alive and Lightning Strike deal damage to opponents while being aggressive bodies.
Keep hands with 1-2 lands, at least one one-drop creature (Reckless Lackey or Embereth Veteran), and cheap interaction. Mulligan hands with no one-drop or more than four lands.
Early: deploy one-drop creatures and attack. Mid: use Another Round and burn spells to clear blockers and push damage. Late: finish with Lightning Strike and Torch the Tower, or use Fear of Burning Alive to burn out the opponent.
Weak to lifegain, board wipes, and decks with large blockers. Another Round can whiff if you lack mana to cast the exiled cards. Mana flood or screw can also disrupt the aggressive curve.
