Mono-Red Quest Burn
StandardDeck Strategy
A fast mono-red aggro deck that finishes daily quests quickly by playing cheap creatures, pumping them with instants, and burning the opponent out.
Slickshot Show-Off gets bigger whenever you cast noncreature spells, so burn spells like Shock and Lightning Strike both clear blockers and pump your threat. Enduring Courage gives all your attackers +1/+0, while Magebane Lizard punishes the opponent for casting noncreature spells, turning every spell they try to play into damage.
Keep hands with at least three lands and a mix of cheap creatures and burn. Mulligan hands with too many four-drops, no early plays, or only expensive top-end cards.
Early: play Fanatical Firebrand or Slickshot Show-Off and start attacking. Mid: add Magebane Lizard and Enduring Courage, use burn to remove blockers or hit face. Late: finish with direct damage, Enduring Courage pump, or Terror of the Peaks. Always prioritize dealing damage to the opponent over making value plays.
Sweepers and cheap removal can wipe out the small creatures. The deck has limited card draw and can run out of gas if the game goes long, so end the game quickly.
