Hey there. First off,i'm new to magic,so i apologise if im not very good wif all the do's n dont's to MTG.I've been playing for 3 months now, but still have a lot to understand. i plan to join friday night magic at my local magic centre this saturday, but here's the thing: Im only a casual player,so my deck just isnt that competitive.

I combined 2 Army of Enthrophy decks,so it's a decent Wither deck, or so im told.

12 Swamps
12 Mountains

2 Ashenmoor Liege
3 Kulrath Knight
3 Ashenmoor Gouger
4 Redcap
4 Mudbrawler Cohort
4 Emberstrike Duo

4 Scars
4 Puncher Bolts
3 Blowfly Infestation
4 Torrent of Souls
1 Din of Fireherd

How could my deck be improved? money kinda is an issue. Im not looking for a championship deck,jz wanna beat a few ppl.

Also,with the new eventide, im thinking of a Red/blue deck. Is this a good idea for a casual player?

I'd say if you're a budget/casual player then the best thing you can do with this deck is go for one of the Blowfly Infestation control decks that have been popping up around the place. They basically use Infestation as well as cheap Scar effects to keep wiping the board. Kulrath Knight helps control too. Getting a 4th infestation shouldn't be hard.

I'll see if I can find a sample decklist for you.

Ummm Demigod of Revenge as a possible rare to add... U can get it for $8 on card shark, thats alot cheaper than mutavault. Which prolly shouldn't be run in mono red anyways, esp. when u have gouger and demigod.
