Izzet Aggro's Monastery Swiftspear, Emberheart Challenger, and Pompous Battlemage are all red creatures that die to Redcap Melee's 4 damage without costing us a land. Be careful aiming it at Screaming Nemesis: it will die, but its trigger deals that much damage to any other target, and if that hits us we can't gain life for the rest of the game. Abrade also cleanly kills most of their creatures at instant speed. Into the Flood Maw only delays their threats rather than answering them in a matchup where every turn matters, and Prismari Command is a slower 3-mana answer when we need cheap, efficient removal to survive the race. Prioritize stabilizing early and trading removal for their prowess threats before they snowball.
