You can even do it at 20:51 - forge makes a 5/1 trample, does at least 3 to face, and then tap tablet and sylex can pull five counters each off the forge and tablet to do exact lethal.

I've dreaded this combination of cards in Draft.. it looks even scarier in Standard EDIT : I'd be surprised to NOT see oil counters on March of the Machines. Though Wizards block/keyword/mechanic design nowadays doesn't care about expanding their building blocks

It's a lot of fun to play in Standard and can definitely go hard fast once the engine is out, but you're not really in a position of advantage until at least turn 5 and Standard is so chock-full of single target removal these days that you're lucky to keep it past turn 7. The card needs you to spend a lot of resources pumping it every turn so if it gets destroyed you're kinda screwed

the 10 damage mode on sylex was also hidden in match 6 at 39:00, where LVD could've put an oil counter on the tablet for the 10th, and deal 10 to Sheoldred instead of trying to uptick the sylex to 4 to blow her up with it

This is legitimately the first red deck that actually looks interesting enough to warrant playing.

Youre an incredible deckbuilder my friend! Not necessarily because of this deck but the sheer amount and consistency of it all. Gj sir

This deck was so interesting, never expected somebody would pull off the combo.

The 10 damage mdoe on Sylex really was hidden! Great content as always!

I love Fuselings. Been a few scenarios where my forge gets taken out. I'll mass oil counters on Fuesling over a few turns, and still one-shot trample everything. Free from Flesh feels like a perfect combo but it just never seems to pay off, I took them out of my deck. Sat in my hand way more often then I'd thought I'd use then... Sprinter is way better than I ever expected. Once you're set up it's just 2 extra oil every turn plus that haste. They work hard

The automatic counters are fun with All Will Be One.

Really like the combo of aggro and combo on this deck. Not the biggest mono red guy, but may have to build this. Thank you!

Have you done any deckbuilding with the new Vat of Rebirth? It's quite strong with the right strategies and I don't see many people talking about it.

I love it, much better than expected after playing it. I just don't know how to call the deck: LolVat, or Vatraxa... :p I play it in a Jund shell... Bloodtithe, Cankerbloom, Gala Greeters... all are pretty good at putting a lot of fast counters in the Vat. Also Fable, of course... and Ob Nixilis (which btw is awesome sacrificing Atraxa for 7 counters and then reanimating her again, when you have enough oil in the Vat...)

Can't decide if splashing black for ob-nix is worth, both this mono red and rakdos versions have been putting in serious work

Love the deck and idea. Way too many rare/Mythics for me to build at this time, still hoping to build it down the road :)

If you add at least 1 copy of All Will Be One, it helps speed up your opponents demise, as its dealing damage every time you add 1 or more counters onto something.

The deck is definitely unique, Feels like at least 2 rebel salvo would be useful against sheoldred and beefier targets tbh. I do see this deck folding a bit to toxic decks in Best of 1, but I think we're in a meta with no perfect deck just a lot of room for creativity once you deal with specific threats like sheoldred.

I think the first opponent was sitting there minutes after thinking, what the hell actually just happened

mono red has never really appealed to me, until now. This looks pretty fun to play.
