Deckbuilding from the second set of six boosters reveals a very different type of RB deck: low curve aggro with many cheap creatures, lots of 1-for-1 removal, and a few strong creatures to hammer home the last few points of damage. Includes both Phyrexian and Foriysian Totem and an Empty the Warrens in case a go wide strategy is warranted.
The photo shows 25 cards in the main, in the final build Hoarder's Greed and Verschlingender Schatten join the cards in the right most column for the sideboard.
The mana base is a lot less demanding than in the previous Grixis deck, and should be able to sustain two double black cards and a Strip Mine with 12 black and 11 red mana symbols, so I will try 9 Swamp, 6 Mountain (and a Wooded Foothills as seventh Mountain).
Once again I used nothing for this deck that would matter for a second deck built from the rest of the cardpool. As green is utterly unexciting, I'll try a 16 land flying / beatdown deck as a secondary.
I can't bring yself to pay the 3 life per use for Tarnished Citadel, but will play a Lair, a Ravnica bounceland and a storage land to get away with 16 lands total. I have 12 white mana symbols with one double-white card, 11 blue mana symbols at higher cost and will add 7 Islands and 6 Plains for a total of 9 white and 8 blue sources.
In a first test match between the two, game 1 both mulligan (2b UW twice - drawing Lair and bounceland as only lands each time!) and race each other with small creatures. 2a RB gets there first. Game 2, 2a UW is mana flooded for a quick 0-2 defeat.
