I wanted a cheap deck that I could mess around with in modern. Not for any serious competitive play, but for an unexpected laugh and to take my own personal twist on mono red. I based the deck on two of my favorite risky cards, Countryside Crusher (fell in love with this card after Modern Masters gave it some really nice, not horrible artwork), and Cosmic Larva. Here's what I ended up with.
Lands:
24x {Mountain}
Creatures:
4x {Grim Lavamancer}
4x {Countryside Crusher}
4x {Cosmic Larva}
3x {Bloodthorn Taunter}
Spells:
4x {Rift Bolt}
4x {Lightning Bolt}
4x {Lava Spike}
4x {Assault Strobe}
3x {Fling}
2x {Browbeat}
Sideboard:
None yet
Considering the deck never has more than 2 mana available (unless casting crusher or larva for 3) it pumps out a lot of consistent damage, and seems to keep a threatening attacker presence to keep its opponent pushed back a bit.
Obviously instant speed removal is a big hit against this deck, which is an issue. But it's a first draft. Are there any 1- or 2- mana red spells that could protect me from removal that I can't think of?
