Mono-red burn and hasty threats; Zhao, Blood Moon and Magus of the Moon lock multicolor mana bases
How hard is it to play? Aggro is simple to start, but the burn needs aiming: blockers or the face? And when the moon effects should come down to lock the opponent.
Colors: R 31 sources for 84 red symbols.
Lands: 34 lands + 2 ramp (2 mana rocks). 72% of opening hands have 2–4 lands (2: 31%, 3: 27%, 4: 14%). Chance to have 3 lands by turn 3: 66%, 4 by turn 4: 47%, 5 by turn 5: 31% (going first, no mulligan).
Power and difficulty are my own estimates from the decklists, compared with my other decks.
Seven random cards from the 99 (the commander waits in the command zone). Every visit deals a new hand.
Plain words search the name (English, German or Japanese). Filters can be combined: t:creature or t:merfolk (type line), c:g / c:wb (has these colors), c:c (colorless), mv<3 / mv=2 / mv>=5, r:rare (or r:m r:u r:c), s:xln (set code), lang:de, pow>=4, tou<2. Example: t:creature c:g mv<3.
