But no Young Pyromancer.Devotion Red runs Cackler, Pheonix, and Zealot as well... and also Hammer and ChandraPyroRed can run smaller creatures like Cackler, Phoenix, andAre the shocks strikes and jets that good against Midrange?
The way I see it, Devotion Red is a lot better against a Midrange/Aggro meta. Without board wipes, we can build a huge board and kill with FAnatic. Also has good cards against aggro.
The problem was the deck was a little slower and reliant on board state but without blue, it feels even better.
especially Zealot into much bigger stuff and kill them while creating tokens. Eventually, you get Chandra or a Hammer online and take over. Her +1 really adds up since it does a lot by pinging them, faltering their best blocker, and bringing Phoenixes back to your hand. Phoenix feels so much more powerful than a 2/2, especially since most decks just can't keep it dead.
Throwing Reckoner into the sideboard will add even more value to the deck.
I had doubts about the deck before I ran it, but it just does so many things right.
Though I'm wondering if there's a way to fit Fanatic into the deck in some way. Even as just a 2-of it would help deal damage in stalled board states.
