Yeah its in the same pool as this version, using Risk Factor and Temper as additional threats and value off of the discard, while having less controlled dig. I dont think its a wrong approach by any means.
I put it aside after I got punked out hard by Iona, Shield of Emeria those kind of 'oh you play just X' feel bads are enough for me to never play a deck again.
Ouch ! That does really shut things down. Each deck has its weakness though. Ie: Burn vs Martyr proc.
I do run Blood Moon so... Red has some dirty tricks too !
If im not having fun I just conceed and move on. I imagine its what dredge players do when they see 4 leyline of the void in someones side deck.
I wasnt sure if the Runaway thread was covering the R version as well, but hey!
The R version certainly is viable, very explosive and does play an interesting game between burn and creature aggro and combo.
The Run Away thread does not contain quite that list.
Ive found it to be very balanced, and the fastest of the variations. Just not quite sure where its home is. The U/R version seems to be the most popular.
I have noticed that all variations contain the following cards.
there are enough sources to discard more then just the Phoenix.
4x fiery temper (want to discard)
2x risk factor (can cast from graveyard)
1x flame jab (can cast from graveyard)
1x Maximize Velocity (can cast from graveyard)
It plays quite a bit different compared to the blue/red as you can imagine. Having 17-20 "Burn" spells, and sharing a similar sideboard I thought it might have someplace in burn as well or.. some place in the middle ?
Not quite sure where this deck fits but it is really fun to play.
3x Ravenous Trap
2x Blood Moon
1x Alpine Moon
2x Eidolon of the Great Revel
2x Rampaging Ferocidon
1x Unstable footing
2x Pyroclasm
2x Shattering Spree
