Deadguy Red (Tempest Block).

Description of deck by Brian David-Marshall(quoted):
One of my lasting memories of David Price is from Regionals in 1997. Dave was sitting quietly in a corner repeatedly taking a card from his hand and putting it on the table as if he were playing it. He would then turn the card sideways with a flourish to indicate an attack. He would then pick the card up and repeat the process. I remembered it at the time because it had a very Rain Man-type affect to it but later it became apparent that this was the start of Dave's love affair with the color red.

The card he was obsessing over? Lava Hounds. Dave redefined the way people would play red decks with his 6-0 Standard performance at Nationals that year, piloting Lava Hounds and company on the good ship Deadguy Red. Prior to the debut of this deck at Nationals, most red decks tried to be agro control decks that would clear the way for creatures with Orcish Artillery. Dave's version was 100 percent undistilled aggression and it has set the standard for all red decks since.
