Grinder Red

Grinder Red is a monored deck focused on denying the opponent's resources either by decreasing them directly or taking down the fighters that give the opponent said resources. By denying resources, the opponent will burn itself out of whatever resources they had left, leaving the user to win the match traditionally.

== How to Play ==
You have one goal: to deny the opponent's resources. Any time where the opponent needs to discard is a benefit towards you.
Your main firepower revolves around ProjectSlayer, Fire Fighter, and Doneyes, as they slow down (possibly even stagger) the opponent's ability to generate resources. MarissaKitty04 can also help fill in that role if needed.
Ambamby, Cowboy, and Infernal Acolyte serve as your own icon generators. Traumatic Clown serves as a quick red icon generator in case you want to play something now instead of the next turn, which serves as an alternative to discarding other cards in your hand.
Corrupt Guest, Fire Fighter, and ProjectSlayer are chunky fighters with good stats. Use them to your advantage.
WishNite, Doneyes, Tone, and Taymaster all serve as swarm hate, for when the opponent has a lot of cheap fighters and therefore generates a lot of icons.
MarissaKitty04's Crystal of Death's Vengeance and Ignis Mage also help land trades between your fighters and the opponent's. Both are also good forms of removal when the opportunity comes.
Against midrange, especially large threats, you have ClanAtlas and Divine Favor. ClanAtlas serves as a stalling point, and should only be used if you already have enough red icons to spare. Meanwhile, Divine Favor is for very huge threats that normally can't be beat easily, such as The Stalker or The Forgotten One.
== How to Beat ==
While Grinder Red has a lot of opportunities to destroy your resources, it also doesn't have a lot of opportunities to combat against aggressive variations of midrange (aggro/midrange deck archetypes). This includes decks such as ramp decks, where they involve generating as much icons as you can and playing as much quality fighters as you can. If you're fast enough, you can generate a lot of icons to the point where their icon denial isn't enough to take you down.
This variation of Grinder Red, while having many options to deal with swarms and aggro, has very limited options to deal with midrange. If you're able to provide a streamline of big threats, Grinder Red can't keep up.
