(Show Ended February 2022) This is a casual Magic the Gathering Podcast that focuses on the best color in the game: red. If you like burning the opponent, hasty creatures, impulsive plays, and budget cards, this is the MTG show for you.
I'm ending the podcast with this episode. In the first segment I talk about the Mythic Red Dragons of the game, then I give my reasons for stopping the show. 0:00 Mythic Red Dragons 10:20 Ending the Show Thoughts and Conclusion

Arena Red Collecting/One Cent Cards
A Twin Bolt of Topics! First I discuss the trouble I've encountered trying to collect only red cards in Arena, followed by my search for the best red cards that cost only one cent. It's short, it's cheap, it's ugly, it's Red Decks Win!

A Love Letter to Red
Spontaneity. Impulse. Passion. These are Red's strengths and weaknesses, and their my strengths and weaknesses too. In this shorter episode I wanted to talk not about a specific card or deck, but rather why I enjoy Magic's best color so much.

Having a Ball Lightning
What's got haste, trample, and red all over? It's Ball Lightning and other assorted elementals! In this episode I take a look at some creatures that, like junk food, give you a burst of energy that quickly fades away.

Ragavan: The Expensive Monkey
There is a new king of red creatures, and he is a monkey pirate. I don't like him though, because it costs too much money to get a playset. In this episode, I talk about the price and pushed nature of Ragavan. Somewhere in this description I wanted to put a monkey's paw joke, but I haven't thought of one and I'm going to move on.

Mono Red Nonbasic Lands Part 2
The world is a large place that contains many Magic cards. And so, let's continue exploring Mono Red Nonbasics!
Link to part 1: https://anchor.fm/reddeckswin/episodes/Mono-Red-Nonbasic-Lands-Part-1-e17rnsd
What qualifies as a Mono Red Nobasic for our purposes? Lands that specifically produce red mana and no other color, or that specifically use red mana and no other color (so no multi-color producing lands or multi-color abilities, and no only colorless mana lands).

Mono Red Nonbasic Lands Part 1
Mono Red mana bases are usually some of the simplest in Magic, but what if you wanted to spice things up? In the first part of this two part series, I go through the Mono Red Nonbasics and give my views on each one.
What qualifies as a Mono Red Nonbasic for our purposes? Lands that specifically produce red mana and no other color, or that specifically use red mana and no other color (so no multi-color producing lands or multi-color abilities, and no only colorless mana lands).

Midnight Hunt Red Cards Review
Vampires! Werewolves! My bias for direct damage! It's all here! The Midnight Hunt is almost on. In this episode, I take a look at every red (not including multi-colored) card in the set. I judge them based on my taste as well as their playability.
There is a video version of this episode too if you want to see the cards I'm talking about while you listen: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRI0Mfia0lI&t=1088s

A Vexing Problem
Although a new Innistrad set is upon us, in this episode I wanted to talk about a card from Avacyn Restored: Vexing Devil. Is it good? Is it bad? Is it both? I use many an untrustworthy source to find out.
