Welcome back to some more Learn2Magic, where I look at the basics and key features of Magic that are most important to learn for new players. This includes card mechanics and interactions that may be somewhat confusing at first, to help get new players on track and enjoying games sooner.
This week's video focuses on red. It's ability to go straight for the face and absolutely destroy everything in its way is awesome. Red is a very fast and aggressive colour that often allows a red mage to play burn spells (either single or multi target), creatures with haste, as well as some artifact and land destruction.
Red is also one of those colours that lends itself very well to be a part of a multi coloured deck. For the purposes of this video however, we'll stick with just red, mono red.
With so many advantages it's hard to come up with negative annoyances from playing this colour, and there are a few. For starters, it can be a very all-in type of strategy. You usually win by turn so and so, or lose horribly.
In addition, there is very little card draw in red, so if you know you can't win in the first few turns, sometimes you have no choice but to pace yourself. There's nothing worse than having an angry group of goblins looking at your opponent and then have them get wiped out in one fell swoop, leaving you with nothing in hand and a feeling of bitter disappointment.
When played right, red can be a very dangerous colour that has the ability to strike fast, and catch your opponents off guard - usually overwhelming them before they can act.
Thanks for joining me this week as we play a mono red goblins deck, I hope you enjoy it!
