I don't usually play Red decks, but when I do, they're big and play Hydroid Krasis. Today's deck came from a deck donation on stream. I changed a few cards but the core of it remains intact. It's essentially a big mana deck but it gets to the big mana part by playing a weird control game. Just kill stuff then get card advantage with Treasure Map, Krasis, and Chandra! Here's the deck!

It's straight forward. The only card that is not Mono-Red in the main deck is Hydroid Krasis. Out of the sideboard you have some more with Negate and Cindervines, but that's it. Otherwise you have Mono-Red cards. You know how some decks can look good on paper (*cough* Sultai & Grixis *cough*) but are not nearly as good when you play them? Well... This is the opposite. It looks terrible on paper but performs well in practice. Don't take my word for it, watch the videos instead!

If you enjoy big mana decks, then give this one a whirl.

As always, thanks for reading and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!
