The Mono-Red Aggro or Red Deck Wins is still considered to be a strong contender in the Magic: the Gathering Standard format, given the popularity of tri-color decks from Streets of New Capenna. It might get a few specific cards from the new set to add to its arsenal but we are pretty sure that its speed & aggressive curve will still be there. Also, it is pretty much easy to set up on MTG Online and Magic Arena. Next up is an updated RDW decklist.

In the video which I watched the morning before going to work, he got a foil PR promo Titan of Industry wherein the Green color is not aligned to the family he chose, though in the deck-building he can try to add it to the list.
