Inside The Mind Of A Red Player 

As a mono red player I would be offended if I could read.

There's a reason why it's "red deck wins" and not "red deck looses due to lack of tempo and card advantage."

as a red player, i can't read those graphs but my massive iq is telling me ive been insulted

"It doesn't matter if all of your creatures have 1 attack...as long as you have like 40 of 'em." Noah is one of the funniest mtg content creators on the platform.

My favorite game as a mono red player was when I went against a mono blue player and he countered every single spell and won with a single delver of secrets

Alchemy is such a fun format. For example: goblin morale sergeant has a hidden mechsnic where when it hits the table on turn two, half the time your opponent immediately concedes. It's these intricate synergies that really make me a genius magic player.

Playing monored doesn't take a lot of thought, but choosing to play monored is a high IQ choice

all the creatures you have are attacking if you have none hence its still a full swing

Mono Blue is pretty darn simple, basically every baby's first words are "No"

As a Rakdos player, seeing you end games with a life total higher than 1 is making me break out in hives.

This is hilarious to me. Back in HS I was learning how to play with a friend who had been playing for like 10 years. Long story short my red starter half deck thing(the one nerd stores use to give away to get people into magic) wiped his black white like stacked deck(he would buy individual cards and he told me some of them were a little pricy. At least to us hs kids lmao)and he almost lost it. He was still nice but you can see the look in his eyes and he was like “wtf let me try” and I wiped him with his own shit. So that’s why I’m an undefeated champion 2-0 baby let’s gooooooooooo!

Let's see those 45k push-ups.

As a UW player, Green scares me. However when I see Red being played, I'm not so much scared as I am curious about how I am going to lose.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to play Mono Red. The strategy is extremely complex, and without a solid grasp of statistics most of the choices will go over a typical player's head. There's also Red's "carpe diem" outlook, which is deftly woven into it's playstyle- it's color philosophy draws heavily from Aldous Huxley literature, for instance. The players understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these stratagems, to realise that they're not just chance- they say something deep about the GAME ITSELF. As a consequence people who dislike Mono Red truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the intelligence in the catchphrase "I Bolt the Bird," which itself is a cryptic reference to one of the earliest metas in MtG history. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as John Ormerod's genius wit unfolds itself on their play mats. What fools.. how I pity them. joy And yes, by the way, i DO have a Chandra tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid sunglasses

As a mono-blue player, I demand a "full counter" button that uses every counter spell in my hand on one target.

Mono red mentality is literally "head empty. Fire go brrrrrr"

Hahahaha goblin hahahaha aggro This is the story of my entire career in magic

As a Neheb commander player I find great pleasure in the brain power to keep it going. Its not much, and thats what counts. Do damage, get mana, use mana for more damage. Simple as.

Only thing dumber then Mono Red players are Mono Blue players. That archetypes main wincon is to basically make your opponent concede. At least Red kills you properly.

Still more IQ than the avg blue player taking 5 minutes to decide "do I counter the spell that will kill me?" While having 5 of the exact same option, all while still having to do no math. I'd rather be 65 IQ and aware of it, than 1IQ while thinking NOT being able to do basic math makes me a hyper genius

I like this channel, I think you should make more videos

Was literally trying out a mono red deck for the first time ever maybe two hours ago.

The intelligence of red comes from it's strategy and deckbuilding. It's simple but it works; it's not neccesary for something to be overcomplicated to be good (glares at blue).

Created a boros deck which was meant to be a spell deck. But it every game, I have somehow gotten krenko, tin Street kingpin and other cards and ended up generating like 30 tokens. I called it 'the red army'

You do know you can use cavalcade of calamity in historic if you’re running mono-red 1/1 full swing… it’s a 2 mana enchantment that says whenever a creature you control with 1 power attacks, deal 1 damage to the defending player. So even if they have blockers you deal damage and if they don’t block your 1/1 is like a 2/2

I play Burn at Modern Tournaments so I can finish with upwards of half an hour left on the clock so I can go get a sandwich in between rounds. Burn players are the smartest players in existence.

"Its fine if your creatures have 1 attack as long as you have 40 of um" Sir are you sure you arn't secretly a white player?

I do wanna see one of these for each of the colors. Also as a red player I love the sound of a double sleeved lightning bolt hitting a playmat. It's my favorite thing to do before full swinging

Bro played cruelty of gix at 3, then went on to read ahead to death Astonishing

mono red land destruction is the best deck

I once made my brother cry by using a moon red deck. One of my proudest moments. Best part is, he was playing a control deck, but you can’t control a non existent board. And you can only counter so many lightning bolts

I still have a red deck I started building back in 2007. It's a lot of fun, revolves around charging a Quest for Pure Flame to four counters and then hitting for 14+ on turn 4.

people keep telling us that we are unintelligent and salty but they can't figure out why countering a 2 mana spell with 3 mana is a bad idea.

Hey, my first deck ever was mono-red goblins! I was 6, sure, and I never won a single game, but we're super wicked smart and I definitely didn't switch to zombie tribal asap

I usually play mono black, but I do like me some full swings

As an 11 time R, R/W LGS Champion, I can say; that red deck need's at least 3 more Lightning Bolt, Chain Lightning and Chandra.

When I was younger I played control decks because I thought I had as much time as I wanted Now that I'm older I play mono red because I value my time more and I don't want to be taken hostage for half an hour cause of my own deck

I only now notice how much Konami was inspired by "Magic: The Gathering Arena" to make "Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel" (in terms of graphics and video game design). Then the fact that the equivalent of each Master Duel deck are "Blue Players" of different flavors is something else...

I lost to my friend using a green deck but then I tried using mountain grasslands to play a red deck, then we just pretended my green lands were red

I love seeing those life totals melt.

Mensa is full of mono red players.

When all his hard work was wiped away i felt that

"I can't fullswing anymore. I'll have to topdeck." Those are the two redmage skills.

Red deck is unironically and ironically the thinking man's deck

It's hilarious how your wake internal monologue matches up with my actual Red Deck Wins thought process. Not swinging with the board!? Coward! That's the only thought to have.

i cannot emphasize enough how much i love mono red

Monored theme playing in my head

This is actually hilarious, so addicted to this guys humor

I subscribed because of this video. I expect that video of all those pushups by the end of the year.

I like that he's playing mono red like a mono green player. Most mono reds I've fought essentially use nothing but instant damage cards with the forge to make the progressively bigger (almost green) tokens

Played mono R in a local pioneer tournament on Wednesday. I feel you. I full swang 99% and faked having every burn spell to make the trades all the time😂😂

0:46 thats exactly what it feels like

I always knew I was smart. Everyone else just didnt believe me

I don't know how you managed to make 3 mins feel like 30 but the brain power required must be immense

I believe mono red deck players are the most intelligent they've come to the realization that 5 minutes or less for a hand of magic compared to 10 and over allows them to do other things in their life and yet still get their dailies done.

Amateurs talk strategy, professionals talk logistics. Noah is a true professional.

I unsubscribed and then resubscribed like 50 times so you have to do more pushups. That's my red-player IQ in action there.

I think I finally understand mono red well enough to give it a try. Thanks Noah! I subscribed and am now harassing you, please upload the video of my push up

Funny thing is the idea for RDW was designed in a linear algebra class. The idea was to do a bunch of math so the deck would always curve out and be the most consistent deck in the format.

Started playing mtg arena, after 18 years of not touching cards , this month . Reached mythic rank with mono red easily as ftp .

could combine red with green to have a monster ramp up. could combine red with blue if you want to sin and also want to put half your deck into your hand so you can summon all the things

Mono Red gives my nine lives+solemnity deck life

Earlier today I watched Day 9 pilot a monored landsmash deck that was ostensibly intelectually difficult but also mostly just came down to gambling.

The dude killing himself with cruelty is an instant classic

this is a healthy way of channelling all the vile emotions gathered in a game of magic. that's right, that IS what is being gathered.

Will Mr. Noah be so kind as to share the decklist?

I play red and green a lot, and I absolutely see myself in this video

I totally forgot about magic existance so i just thought it was going to be a video about random color wars and expect at some point some "everybody want to be the red power ranger for a reason" or something.

The key to red deck intelligence is mastering the skill of thinking with body parts other than your brain.

As a mono-black player, I get where the Cruelty of Gix guy's head was at. Never do a raw concede over just ending yourself manually in a goofy way if you can help it.

I just subscribed, so make sure to do that push up! XD

"Nothing says unga bunga more than playing Mono Red" :))) I play mono red and love this video XD

the only time i personally had a ton of fun playing monored was using Delina, Wild Mage as a 60card brawl commander before the last standard rotation, creating tapped and attacking nonlegendary copies of whatever else was on my board. ideally Calamity Bearer

*me playing goblins in every format*

Post a video of the push-ups, I subscribed!

Is there a decklist for this superior deck?

I kinda wanna try this deck list now lmao

Bro I got this goblin agro deck that is so fast and so effective that every time I play with it, the game just becomes kill me first and who's going to drown in goblin shit. But for real, a Ritalin addled crayon addict can play mono-red.

The thumbnail triggered my future ptsd. Friend of mine plays omnath with moraug. Brothers war releases a new artifact (staff of Titania) that makes moraug go infinite

Started playing magix for the first time three days ago and I'm diamond thanks to the full swing button. Always full swing.

You have earned my subscription

I bow before your intelmagance. its majestic

I liketh this channel, I think you should make more videos.

Noah's favorite form of music that emerged in the late 1920s? Full Swing

I play mono green with the sheer panic of a yugioh player that bricks every turn but somehow is still winning

whenever I and my friends play a deck that just full swings tap out we call it playing Richard Garfield magic just turning cards sideways the way he intended

All i gotta do is count to 10...twice! It's funny how this is the case for a lot of players but back in the day RDW is what lead to the creation of "the mana curve" and legit math major's brewed it up. All the blue players were too busy drinking the ink that was needed to print the cards.

Subscribed because of this video and no other reason. Gimme my push up, King.

You forgot to mention .... Wait for the rope then play the card on the right. All the really good mono red guys know that.

i feel like this is actually more accurate for mono white life gain players

100 < 59, that is definitely some red player math right there

RED DECK GOES *BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*

“Mind” is being awfully generous

Red/White player here, it's still "swing every turn" but I actually choose which creature is going to be my champion, then have two attack phases because of Raiyuu, Storm's Edge

i just subscribed release the pushup full cut

My goal is to make it to grandmaster with: 4 melt through 4 gold doggos 4 tiefling outcast 4 weather light completed 4 big spenders 4 of those guys that punch you for treasure (professional facebreaker) 4 devilish valets 4 urabrasks forge 4 burn down the houses Koth, Chandra dressed to kill, tibalt, and a brotherhoods end 18 mountains, 2 blast zones

post the push up vid if you want your deck to live

Try rabble rousing plus this and you win every game. Especially with impassioned orator or any other card that gives you life when a creature enters the battlefield.

I feel personally attacked
