# Lizards B/R

- Format: Standard (casual 60-card constructed), intended for two players.
- Colors: black / red.
- List: [blb-lizards-br.csv](blb-lizards-br.csv). Sideboard: [sideboard.csv](sideboard.csv).
- Guide (Spanish): [guide_blb-lizards-br.html](guide_blb-lizards-br.html).
- Core source: Bloomburrow pulls plus Lightning Strike/Heartless Act (TLA),
  Scorching Dragonfire (DSK/FDN), Rubblebelt Braggart (MKM) and Bilbo's
  Deadly Slice (HOB); basic lands from Foundations pulls.
- Status: new build, no precon cards.

## Game plan

1. Deal damage early — Agate-Blade Assassin and Ravine Raider make the
   opponent lose life every turn.
2. That loss turns on Cindering Cutthroat, Frilled Sparkshooter and
   Flamecache Gecko's {B}{R} mana; Valley Flamecaller adds +1 to every
   point of lizard damage.
3. Burn (Lightning Strike, Scorching Dragonfire, Heartless Act) clears
   blockers or goes to the face.

## Pull-pool tuning

- Scales of Shale has affinity for Lizards: {B} for +2/+0, lifelink and
  indestructible on a lizard.
- Scryfall reports HOB as Standard-legal; Bilbo's Deadly Slice swaps out
  for Shock (SPM) if you prefer no HOB.
- One Agate-Blade Assassin and one Ravine Raider went to the friend's
  Zoraline; a third Take Out the Trash and one Hoarder's Overflow moved up
  from the sideboard.
