Deck Strategy
Concept

A fast red-white aggro deck built from efficient one-drops, cheap burn, and light removal to pressure opponents from turn one.

Synergies

Healer's Hawk and Savannah Lions provide early evasive and efficient attackers. Firebrand Archer turns Shock, Burst Lightning, Lightning Strike, and Lightning Helix into extra face damage. Pacifism clears a blocker so your small creatures can keep attacking.

Mulligan Strategy

Keep hands with one or two lands, at least one one-drop creature, and a cheap burn spell. Mulligan hands with no creatures, no red source for early goblins, or too many lands.

Game Plan

Early: deploy Healer's Hawk, Savannah Lions, Fanatical Firebrand, or Firebrand Archer and start attacking. Mid: use Shock, Burst Lightning, Lightning Strike, and Pacifism to remove blockers and push damage. Late: finish with Lightning Helix and burn; save direct damage for lethal when the ground stalls.

Weaknesses

Mass removal and efficient cheap blockers can slow the deck down. Lifegain and larger creatures can stonewall ground attacks, so save burn for reach. The mana base uses mostly tapped dual lands, which can slow down early turns if you need both colors immediately.
