The Scarlet Witch deck questions

What colours can I use in a The Scarlet Witch deck?

The Scarlet Witch has a mono-red colour identity, so every card in the deck must be red or colourless. That includes mana symbols in rules text, not just casting cost.

What are the best cards for The Scarlet Witch?

The cards played most often in The Scarlet Witch decks include Dragon's Desire, Face Yourself, Pyre Rhymer // Molten Tide. The full list of staples above is grouped by the job each card does, so you can see the deck's skeleton rather than just a pile of names.

How much does a The Scarlet Witch deck cost?

The 20 most-played cards shown above come to roughly $25.60 at current market prices. A complete 100-card build costs more, and Grimoire can generate a budget version instead if you set a price ceiling.

Can I build a The Scarlet Witch deck from cards I already own?

Yes. Import your collection into Grimoire and choose "my cards" when you build. The generator will only use cards you actually own, and the Missing Cards page shows what you would need to buy to finish any list.
