Simple, just follow the title!  This deck utilizes red control to its full extent concering land destruction, thus mana denial.

Ok, here goes:
Draw cards, play cards. First play cheap ones, then play expensive ones. It is simple to the point of disgust. You just draw destroyers, and play them. You have to see prospectives from the opponent’s point of view. Imagine him having 3 lands in his opening hand.
Round1: 1 land
Round2: 2 lands
Round3: 3 lands
Round4: 3 lands
Round5: 3 lands
Round6: 3 lands
Round7: 2 lands
Round8: 2 lands
Round9: 1 land
Round10: 1 land
Round11: Out of lands.
I just imagined the opponent drawing only lands on rounds 3-6, just in case...
All the opponent can do is play cheap spells during his first rounds, and then succumb to having no mana. Your creatures can then crash the opponent with simple attacks, as nothing can prevent them from it. The only problem is when your opponent has too many cheap spells, and keeps drawing lands whereas you don’t draw destryoers. Then again, each deck has to got its weaknesses, right? 
Here goes a description of the cards: stone rain and molten rain are good destroyers, since they are cheap destroyers. Destroy target land with 3 mana. Molten rain has got a good side ability as well... Seismic spike is a great card, especially for times when you got 5-6 lands, since it lets you play two destroyers. Demolish is another option, destroying both lands or artifacts, and lay waste can either destroy a land or help you cycle.
Flashfires and boil are specific destroyers, but they are lethal against white and blue when you feel like you cannot catch up with the play land/destroy land ratio. Ark of blight is designed to be played on the second round, and then be sacrificed on a much later round.
Dwarven Blastminer is a great card, since it’s both cheap AND capable of ruining those annoying non-basic land based decks (wow that was a long phrase  ). Shaleskin Plower is a beast designed to be played on later rounds, and both provide a good servant and help destoy a land, while Barbarian Riftcutter has similar powers, only with the steep cost of the sacrifice.
Long live NPE!!! |

Alright mr. smart@$$, let’s look at it, shall we?
First of all i just realized that i should have added a couple of copies of dingus egg, because the way it is, this deck has indeed a small firepower (only creatures).
Rather than thinking of playing with this deck, imagine playing against it. You play land, i destroy land. That simple; you cannot play expensive spells, and actually, after a few rounds, you cannot play any spells at all....
GP for you for taking your time to comment!  |
