I know red is actually really good in this format right now. I am just not partial to it. That comment was more of a joke (and you can tell from my rant about burn as well). As you can tell this article was definitely written with a personal bias. @Chris…. I know red is actually really good in this format right now. I am just not partial to it.

I agree with you that it's better to play Rock without Bobs than with bobs and you're quite right on KotR, although if you were playing 10+ fetchlands, he's going to be at least a 5/5 for 3 mana, well worth his cost, don't forget that grabbing a Ghost Quarter against 12-post is still relevant, and I wouldn't dismiss him that fast. Spellskite is a really nice fit for the list. I think you need to play 1 Ohran Vipers in the maindeck, especially if you played Doran. And to Chris, +1 that red is the better color in the format, for now :P I like the list.

I was reading the Modern primer on the ProTour Philly coverage and noticed 5/7 decks contained red, yet you claim that, "red is awful in general". I am confused. Hi,

Sorry. I probably should've edited it a little better. The content is still there. And there’s a lot of typos in this article. Sorry. I probably should’ve edited it a little better.

I will in my next installment (I will actually do this) and write about why everyone should play Natural Order. Apparently I didn’t write about Legacy at all in this article which I planned to do.
