How to Win With Red in Magic the Gathering

Magic the Gathering is based within Dominaria, a fantasy world revolving around 5 elements represented by the colors black, white, green, blue and red. Each color represents a different style of play, consisting of its own creatures and artifacts that give the game its unique twists and turns. Red, or mountain cards, are based upon goblin creatures and dragons that use fire to win the game. Here's how to win using red cards.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

1. Recognize your weaknesses if you are playing with a red burn deck. While red is a powerful and destructive color to play, it has no way of managing enchantments. Know your enemies and their spells and try to burn them out before they can enchant you and destroy you.
2. Race your Magic the Gathering opponents in the event that you are hit with an enchantment spell, as it is your only option. Choose to race with a dragon instead of a goblin or other creature. Ensure that you can recover by keeping a dragon or two tucked away in case of emergency.
3. Hurt yourself to inflict destruction on others. Black uses this strategy a bit more to its advantage, inflicting minor destruction to itself and mass destruction to others. Red can also win with this strategy, but you must be aware of your strength reserves. When causing chaos with fireworks or Browbeat spells, be aware that you may cause extreme damage to your opponents, but you may not leave the play unaffected.
4. Aim your firepower at multiple targets, sending out your teams of creatures with a damage spell. You can race red's goblin with white's soldiers to send them out of the gates and use Blistering Firecat to finish your win.
5. Examine your opponent's strategies to ensure a win with red in Magic the Gathering. It is important to understand your enemies and allies when staging a win. White is your direct opponent, and will often use green and blue against you, so team up with the power of black to protect yourself and gain a road to victory.
