I would definitely add at least 1x Castle Embereth and 1x Sokenzan, Crucible of Defiance.

Whether to add more than 1, or to also add Den of the Bugbear or Ramunap Ruins is a different matter. Also Spikefield Hazard might or might not be considered desirable here.

Revision 6

Tuesday at GamersWorld, 0-3-0, 16th/20

1-2 vs. Murktide (game 3 was super close)
0-2 vs. Ugintron (trainwreck)
1-2 vs. Murktide (also close but not quite)

Bleh.

Shitty day anyway so it might have been that, I could certainly have played better.

Kor Spiritdancer is being pretty useless here, it only had me draw cards in a single game out of 8. So dunno.

Revision 5

Saturday at Warchest, 1-2-0, 2nd/4

1-2 vs. Thassa's Oracle / Spoils of the Vault
2-1 vs. UW Control
1-2 vs. Death's Shadow

The last game was super close, with the opponent at 1 life for several turns, but me unable to finish him.

Never had to use the extra Rest in Peace I added, while the Path to Exile may have been helpful in the last game itself. The original list was right 😅

I like it, but I have two questions:

- Why Lava Dart when you can use Shock instead?
- Aren't 20 lands too many?

Ok I have the answers myself, I'll post it here instead of deleting this because thus this can help others.
Using Lava Dart triggers prowess twice.
And you need many mountains to pay for the costs of both Lava Dart and Fireblast too.

Revision 12

Thursday at Underworld, 2-1-0, 2nd/6

2-0 vs mono blue spirits
2-1 vs UW control
1-2 vs orzhov something

The new entries, Hall Monitor and Village Messenger, performed very well!

Torbran+Chainwhirler is massively powerful when it's allowed to happen (usually mid game if the opponent is out of answers).

Fanatical Firebrand wasn't super good, and Bomat Courier might have to be replaced as it doesn't increase its damage from Torbran, and it never really happens that I get to use its ability.

Revision 8

Playtested a little bit on friendlies in Milan, lost horribly, dismantled the deck in favour of https://deckstats.net/decks/38436/2584787-red-aggro-embercleave/en?revision=6

1-2 vs. Boros Heroic
0-2 vs. Rakdos Sacrifice

Revision 7

Monday at Joker (MI), 2-2-0, 6th/12

2-0 vs izzet aggro
0-2 vs mono W auras
2-1 vs Rakdos Sacrifice
0-2 vs shark typhoon

- In match 2 game 2 I could have played better.
- Impact Tremors was not so... impactful was only marginally useful when playing Torbran.
- While Flamescroll Celebrant on paper is great against rakdos sacrifice, it actually dies so soon it's pointless (as long as the devil is already in play).
- Need to update the 1 drops.

1 drop candidates:

- Rabbit Battery
- Fervent Champion
- Hall Monitor
- Legion Loyalist
- Tin Street Dodger

Why only 2 Anointed Procession?

Unconvinced by Gemrazer, but overall quite cool!

I'm puzzled by Ancestral Anger, I'd guess there's many better cards out there.

Also there are only two cards that can target Zada, so I'd either add more, or remove it.

Revision 5

Thursday at Underworld, 2-0-0

2-1 vs. Gates
2-0 vs. Werewolves

- Otawara needs to be removed, it's blocking Searing Blood (which instead is performing extremely well).
- Really need to find the missing lands 😅
- Overall it performed very well, even if admittedly in a fairly easy event.

Revision 18

Monday at GamersWorld, 1-2-0

0-2 vs. Mizzet to Light
1-2 vs. Rakdos midrange
2-1 vs. Azorius spirits

The deck performed very well in the 3 games I won, "not enough" in 1 or 2 more games, and absolutely awful in the other 3-4.

- Never managed to make use of Saheeli, Sublime Artificer.
- Chandra, Acolyte of Flame + Impact Tremors worked very well.
- While Torbran, Thane of Red Fell + Roiling Vortex would be very good on paper, and has been good during the previous event, here I only managed to cast it once, due to the high mana cost.
- Roiling Vortex was still super useful against any sort of lifegain.
- Bomat Courier is a removal magnet, so I was never able to use its ability. But still this means that the opponent had to use a removal on it.
- Plasma Jockey wasn't really useful, only used the blitz once.
- Maybe splashing white for Wear // Tear? Enchantments are a problem otherwise.
- More creatures then?

I'd add a Svyelunite Temple and some similar lands, just in case. You may be able to cast Kaho on turn 3, or even turn 2 if you're quite lucky!
