PRIMER

I was looking for a fun monocolored commander that was outside of my typical comfort zone. When Solphim, Mayhem Dominus was spoiled, I saw an opportunity to built a simple deck in terms of design that could do a lot of damage. I really focused on the Group Slug approach that aims to burning everyone rather then focusing on spells that burn a single target. Enjoy !

DECK OBJECTIVES

1- Maintain board presence aka not play the scorched earth version of mono-red burn where we burn everything including our own creatures

2- Have decent tempo and card draw options so I don't end up on turn 4 with no cards in end and playing with top deck only as it sometimes happen in mono-red decks

3- Focus on cards that ideally burns all opponents before cards that burn all players and focus on cards that burn all players before cards that burn single player/targets.

KPI DASHBOARD (20/05/2024)

N=50

1. Average Mulligans Required: 0,55
2. Earliest creature cast: 1,83
3. Turn Commander Cast: 3,91
4. Turn Strategy Online: 6.30
5. Turn of Land Miss: 6,45 (TO IMPROVE)
6. Turn Hand Emptied: 7,58
7. Repeatable Net Card Draw: 5,44

The grades in parenthesis is my own assessment based on how I want the deck to behave. For instance, a 3.91 average turn cast for a 4 CMC commander could be terrible in another type of deck. In this case, the main strategy relies on some of the decks most expensive CMC enchantments and X spells. Casting the commander any quicker doesn't really make our strategy online quicker. It actually hinders more strategic earlier plays.

COMBOS

#1: Solphim, Mayhem Dominus + Heartless Hidetsugu
Allows to kill one shot all opponents.

#2: Solphim, Mayhem Dominus + Pyrohemia
Technically not a combo, but an interaction. If solphim has an indestructible counter on it, you can activate pyrohemia for 2 damage per {R} spent thus potentially destroying all other creatures beside Solphim. Also, because Solphim stays on the board, pyrohemia doesn't destroy itself.
