I think I already had several posts of this deck archetype in my blog, continuously updating the build after each new Magic: the Gathering set is released. The excitement is always present as each new card components offerinteresting functions and interactions and it is the same with Coreset 2021.

Here below is the Big Red decklist:

Creatures
4 Bonecrusher Giant
3 Drakuseth, Maw of Flames
3 Legion Warboss
2 Meteor Golem
4 Terror of the Peaks

Spells
1 Chandra, Awakened Inferno
3 Fire Prophecy
2 Sarkhan the Masterless
1 Scorching Dragonfire
3 Soul Sear
3 Storm’s Wrath
3 Thrill of Possibility
1 Ugin, the Ineffable
2 Ugin, the Spirit Dragon

Lands
3 Castle Embereth
2 Dwarven Mine
20 Mountain

Terror of the Peaks is probably the card highlight of this deck in the terms of card value and its trigger ability. Given that he is already a threat with 5/4 & Flying, its ETB ability makes your other creatures more deadly even by just creating a token with Sarkhan or that of the Legion Warboss.

Drakuseth, Maw of Flames is still the top curve & finisher of the deck and the given spot removal whenever it attacks, it can get rid of the remaining creatures that might have survived your Storm’s Wrath.

Ugin, the Spirit Dragon is a new addition in the deck and another source of your sweeper and win condition, all in one card. Be careful though not to run him into cheap counterspells.

The other cards on the list are pretty much basic in their given functions, but I would like to highlight the two copies of Meteor Golem as your color basically has no way to deal with Enchantments, aside from Ugin himself. The nonland destroy will get its many uses in various situations and at the least, it is seven-mana spot removal.

That is a wrap for now on this Standard M21 Deck feature on the Big Red midrange build. I do hope to try this soon on my local game store but I guess it will still be a few months of waiting until the crisis stabilizes.

Until then, thanks for reading.
