Everyone is familiar with Boros Bushwhacker and other aggressive red strategies in Standard, but for Davin Frankosky, the 2009 State and Provincial Championships were all about large red threats. His deck used Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle and Armillary Sphere to power out fatties like Siege-Gang Commander and Lavaball Trap. The strategy was good enough to net Davin a Top 8 appearance!
