I have yet to settle on a 60/75 for Mono Red. I am pretty sure that the burn is going to be good because there are so many 2 butts laying around but this means I cannot run Akroan Crusader since to run him you need to run at least 12 enchantments and instants that target him. While I am not a huge fan of Magma Jet it just might be well positioned and help with the slightly higher land count that this list is playing.
 
Legacy Decklist - RUG (Temur)


Creature [12]

4 Delver of Secrets
4 Nimble Mongoose
4 Tarmogoyf

Instant [24]

1 Spellsnare
3 Spell Pierce
4 Brainstorm
4 Daze
4 Force of Will
4 Lightning Bolt
4 Stifle
 
Sorcery [6]

1 Forked Bolt
1 Gitaxian Probe
4 Ponder

Land [18]

3 Tropical Island
3 Volcanic Island
4 Flooded Strand
4 Polluted Delta
4 Wasteland

Sideboard [15]

1 Flusterstorm / Divert
1 Envelop
2 Destructive Revelry
1 Grafdigger’s Cage
1 Scavenging Ooze  
1 Rough // Tumble
1 Sudden Demise
1 Sulfuric Vortex
2 Submerge
1 Vendilion Clique
1 Forked Bolt
1 Grim Lavamancer
1 Pyroblast

I currently have 7 SCG Open points (and an invite to Richmond) but I need to earn 8 more points (I think) so that I can grab an invite to the Columbus, Ohio invitational. Getting as close as possible to that goal will be the challenge for the weekend. Playing in the Standard Open and Legacy Challenge will give me a minimum of 2 points so just 6 more points to go!

If I am feeling particularly spicy on Sunday I may instead sleeve up this lil guy instead of RUG...
