A lot of 50/50 matchups, including pod, jund (games 2/3 are incredibly sideboard dependant), affinity, and faeries. You are at a disadvantage against tron, zoo, splinter twin, storm (though it gets better after board), bogle.dec, scapeshift (again gets better after board), burn, U/W tempo, and goblins. No real superior game 1s against the field, though UWR tempo can be a breeze if you stick a flame jab on their initial threats.I personally stopped playing it after deathrite became shoved into every deck that could possibly support it, since jab didn't effectively deal with it, and you don't always have a pyroclasm or bolt available. EDIT- if you are interested in staying with a R/G/x base, I can ship you a decent Zoo Moon list that does very well against a developed meta.
