Description of deck by it's author
(quoted):
The deck I was trying complete was a variant of RDW. Short for Red
Deck Wins, I based my build off of Dan Cato’s deck that carried him to
an impressive ninth place finish at Pro Tour New Orleans. Instead of
Cursed Scrolls I decided to play with four copies of Blood Oath. Blood
Oath has always been an intriguing card. Two different friends of mine,
Scott McCord and Jon Becker, have had the pleasure of splitting Fact or
Fictions into piles of five and zero in tournament. In Scott’s case his
opponent had flipped over five lands. Scott feigned not caring and
offered his opponent a pile of five lands or nothing. When he took the
five pile Scott finished him off with a Blood Oath for fifteen points of
damage. The best part is that later in the tournament he was able to
make an opponent take a zero pile when he bluffed the Blood Oath!
After deciding to play with Blood Oath I couldn’t find any in my poorly
organized collection of cards. Fortunately, those I was able to trade
for although I could not secure a fourth Jackal Pup or Rishadan Port. I
had been proxying the fourth Pup with a Grim Lavamancer and he ended up
making the deck in place of the fourth beater. I didn’t know if it would
be any good but I figured it would be fun!
