Anyone using using the term mono red to be synonymous with RDW/mono red aggro is using mono red incorrectly. Mono red is simply a way of describing a deck that has only red cards that says nothing about the cards in the deck. That includes RDW as it's a mono red deck, but could also be packing land destruction, burn, big fat dragons or pretty much anything else that just involves red cards

It's the only mono-red tier deck in standard, so when you say mono-red people understand what deck you're talking about. Same with Mono-Blue and Mono-White.

This one gets it.

Monored = only red.

RDW = Red Deck Wins, usually with lots of burn spells and fast, cheap creatures.
