In practice, I would always splash. I just wanted to see how strong the deck could be as mono color. I think the green is the only really competitive one. Fog is actually quite nice to prevent a blowout, or you can go all in and not worry about the counter-attack. Or lure your opponent into going all-in. It's definitely no Sleep, but it's not a junk card. Mind you, the red deck is pretty good too, 6 jackal familiars ... serious early pressure, especially if you go: T1: jackal, T2: raging goblin, swing for 3, jackal; T3: ball lightning, swing for 11 T4: gg I can dream, can't I? Too bad I couldn't draft some lightning bolts! Hi Dee,

Too bad I couldn’t draft some lightning bolts!

You really like mono colored decks! I think adding another color will make your decks stronger so you don't have to play mediocre cards like Sanguine Bond, Manabarbs, and Fog.
