Never thought I'd see the day of an RDW deck with Wayward Guide Beast that actually looks sick as hell! These brews are insane and I always love to see what you come up with next. It makes my brewing feel amateurish at best, but damn if you aren't excellent at seeing hidden interactions!

Hall Monitor has never gotten the recognition he deserves. I ran 2 in my RDW. He looks funny wielding an Embercleve, but I didn't get that desperate very often. I picked him up in a draft the day they released Strixhaven and he over performed. Incredible limited card. Never seemed to get noticed.

[@crackcorn0404]

Wayward Guide Beast is good for picking up double faced spell-lands like Shatterskull Smashing. It's a 1-drop that's meant for mid to late game. Never understood why so many people didn't understand this.

[@readenwilson1101]

Not gonna lie I never saw this interaction… you are wiser Dan me

[@billybumbler47]

Great content as always, using wayward guidebeast effectively is not small feat. I don't think it would be useful for landfall triggers with hellhound since the land can only be played second main though. Would be great for other creature landfall triggers though.

[@LegenVD]

It sets up your landfall trigger for the subsequent turn, but sometimes the timing can be a little off.

Spikefield Hazard seems very good here. Helps reduce flooding, let’s you take care of elite spellbinder and luminarch aspirant amongst others. And you can pick it up with wayward guide beast if you’re desperate.

[@jojodelacroix]

Oh and it also lets you exile shambling ghast and eyetwitch to prevent the opponent from getting value.

[@LegenVD]

Certainly has its uses, although we would have to treat it as a spell since we absolutely don't want tapped lands. Not sure if it is good enough to replace Play with Fire or Ancestral Anger.

[@Big_Dai]

Who made this!? I'm incredibly impressed that this Standard Set could let anyone produce something like this. I wish Magic today was as fun as this makes it seem. EDIT: Someone said they've been playing this for 3 weeks.. Why do I never get to see cool decks being played in Arena? This sucks.

[@thomaschereau1087]

Incredible, huge amount of skill here. Such an inspiration

[@Derael]

That's an interestig take on Chandra, but I think it's not the best way to approach it. In the end Chandra is nothing but a glorified mana rock. She works best with 5 CMC spells in particular. I used a burn deck with 4 Goldspawn Dragons, 4 Burn Down the House and 4 Adversaries (to copy burn spells), and it worked really well in BO3 (I even got 7 wins in metagame challenge). Magic Missile is a secret MVP, as it's the only spell in the game that cleanly deals with Lolth (can kill Lolth and both spiders in one go, great vs mono white too). The 3 mana deal 2 create a treasure is also decent, even though it's a worse prismari command, but it helps to ramp into 5 drops too. Finally, learn burn spells is pretty nice too, can cast it turn 3, then cast turn 4 Chandra and get yourself 5th land by casting sciences. Though admittedly Chandra simply isn't great vs creature decks.

[@jzoobs]

Magic Missile countering Lolth like that is pretty cool. Never even thought of that

[@Tyler-Black]

I feel as though You See a Pair of Goblins, would have been a great edition to the deck.

[@vanblod9338]

[@jzoobs]

Wow, forgot about that card. Would be truly evil against this deck!

[@nolan4339]

Red in standard really needs a good triple red and double red card, comparable to Old growth troll and werewolf commander to push mono red into the format. Otherwise it is almost always better to splash into other colors for the extra value that red needs. There is just not that many powerful mono-red pieces that synergize together well, or offer the significate counter-play necessary to build a well-rounded competitive deck.

[@jzoobs]

Either that, or just more things that payoff red spells being cast. Stuff like Steamkin

[@jcarminatti09]

I'm a simple man. I see a Chandra deck, I hit that like button before even hitting play.

[@clarkf7623]

Do you think the mana generating play pattern was an intended part of the beast’s card design?

[@beefpelican]

Absolutely. It’s a well designed card, in a goblin guide sort of way.

[@lectricanman]

100 percent. If they only wanted to enable landfall, I think they would have the land be exiled, make it playable, but enter tapped.

[@jerodast]

@@lectricanman I assumed the question was more "was it meant to be an advantage at all" rather than "what else was it supposed to enable", given that a 1 mana 2/2 trample haste is already above the standard rate. But I agree, it seems to be very carefully designed in how it interacts with lands and the mana curve.

[@SirMcAwesome]

@@jerodast it's a rare, it's supposed to be above standard.

[@haveiszalfaroqie]

They probably intended it to be a debuff, but decided that the landfall/+1 mana on turn 3 (no land drop) is too interesting interaction to cut the text out.

[@imagineian0146]

I never thought of guide beast that way. Thats very smart.

[@perplexedwolf9]

"Special Brew" Artifact Equipment. 2 CMC. When Special Brew enters the battlefield, choose one card at random that is playable in the format you are playing. The next game you play in this format must have 4 copies of the chosen card included in the deck. Equipped creature gets +1/+1 and trample.

You obviously want to be pretty sure you have game, but you're RDW. If the game drags too long were you really gonna win anyways? Just an idea.

[@LegenVD]

Could be a fun 1-of in these types of decks, although it's only great when you have a good board and are just trying to win a close race. There will probably be more situations where it's a dead card as opposed to where it wins you the game where no other cards could've helped.
