Ah, I remember when I first got into Magic. I hadn't a single good rare under my name-just a load of commons that friends had extra of. I had a R/B deck with lots of creature destruction and direct damage. Basically, I would always have a destroy creature card in hand to toast them up badly--then hit then with cheap creatures and direct damage for the win.

Uncommons:

3 Cinder Shade

2 Halam Djinn

Commons:

4 Dark Banishing

4 Terror

4 Agonizing Demise

4 Snuff Out

4 Shock

4 Seal of Fire

2 Scorching Lava

4 Raging Goblin

3 Shivan Zombie

Lands:

13 Swamps

9 Mountains

Well, the deck was something like that...Didn't have a sideboard for it.

Strategy: Hopefully, you'll have one creature, 2 lands, and creature destruction and direct damage in your opening hand. Wait for em to lay down a creature and smack it up. It's lack of creatures meant death against Blastoderm, Deadly Insect and other untargetables.

Now, with more options available, the deck could be much improved to look something like this:

Uncommons:

3 Cinder Shade

2 Halam Djinn

Commons:

3 Raging Goblin

3 Phyrexian Battleflies

3 Maggot Carrier

2 Lava Zombie

4 Terror

4 Terminate

4 Dark Banishing

3 Agonizing Demise

3 Snuff Out

4 Shock

2 Rhystic Lightning

Lands:

13 Swamps

8 Mountains

Well, less direct damage, but more creatures...Same strategy--lay down your early creatures, then remove their blockers with the creature destruction.

Well, that's it, have fun with the deck...
