Hi guys,
I got 3rd place in the Aurora Open #2, this deck didn't perform well in semi-finals and 3rd place match but has been really good in the first rounds of the tournament.
I recommend it if you wanna cheese a bit your opponent in a BO3, it can easily give you a 2-0 win.
Blood Singers is the main difference in this deck from other Red Rush. Not the best card but it can easily go out of control with Seifer's Wraths/Flamebursts. And 4 HP is hard to deal with in the early game.
You have to look for Queen's Guard and Maceman in the mulligan. If you have one of them you can easily double neutrals straight to your opponent's orb. Otherwise, you can place a mountain in front of your orb, your opponent might not know you are playing rush; and it will allow you to play you 2 mountain cost creatures a bit quicker.
And of course try as much as possible to get a mountain near your opponent's wells, for the Axe Grinders and also to collect as much as possible. Once you have 2 or 3 mountains near your opponent you can start to +1 Faeria each turn to get as much value as possible. Denying the Faeria collection from your opponent is the key in every match-up you will encounter.
I wish you good luck playing this deck, and have fun!
Cheers, Leukos.
