I’ve been toying with the idea of making a mono-red deck. I’ve only made multicolor decks and thought it might be pretty cheap and easy to make a mono-red deck considering I already own most of the strong >$10 red cards.

only commanders that have not really interested me are [[Magda, Brazen Outlaw]], [[Slicer, Hired Muscle]], and [[Chiss-goria]], last one because my friend is in the process of building it.

I have 4 main options that I have thought of but not sure which would be the strongest while also being fun those options being: [[zada, hedron grinder]], [[Neheb, the eternal]], [[Toralf, god of fury]] and [[purphoros, god of the forge]]. I think these 4 have the fast semi-competitive gameplay that I’m looking for but i’m having a hard time choosing just one of them.

If someone has had the opportunity to try the 4 mentioned commanders let me know how they played out in your group. I know zada has a reputation of quickly becoming archenemy after the first time she pops off in the playgroup. Considering she’s a glass cannon I feel like being targeted like that cant be good but still sounds fun when it does succeed.

EDIT: After reading everyone’s comments I want to build all the Mono-Red Decks haha. Mono-Red is truly the king of fun mono color with very different gameplans from deck to deck

EDIT2: After thinking for a while I decided i’m going to go with the god of the forge, main draw is the fact that he’s so hard to remove. I have a feeling ill be revisiting this question not too long from now though and we have a treasure trove of ideas in here.
