Hello- first off, I apologize if this isn't the proper forum.
I looked through the various Modern sub-forums, and this seemed the most fitting place,
but if it should be somewhere else, please don't hesitate to move it.
Anyway...
I have been slowly growing my collection of Modern-worthy cards,
and I'm pretty sure I have 80-90% of almost any deck that doesn't use Tarmogoyf.
Just to sum things up quickly, I have playsets of each Shockland, Fetchland, Filterland, Painland, Fastland, Checkland, Manland, and Scryland.
I have 4x Snapcaster Mage, Vendilion Clique, Bitterblossom, LotV, Emrakul, Ulamog, Kozilek, Griselbrand, Cryptic Command, Thoughtseize, Mutavault, as well as every playable removal under the sun.
One thing to really keep in mind-
I do enjoy winning, but I have more fun playing an unconventional type of game.
Here are some decks I am considering, and the main pieces I have left to collect:
Infect- one of two T1 decks I am interested in.
I don't usually like aggro, but I can get behind something like this.
Still need: Noble Hierarch x1 (I'm assuming this deck wants 4? if not, I'm already set.)
UR Twin- the other T1 deck I like, gets extra points for being Combo instead of Aggro
Still need: Splinter Twin x3, Kiki-Jiki x? (I have two- how many does this deck run, optimally?)
GR Tron- I really love how this deck plays even though it uses my least favorite color pair.
Still need: Karn x2, Wurmcoil Engine x? (I have three- do I need a fourth?) Batterskull x? (I have 0- what is the optimal amount?), Ugin x? (I have one, ditto)
Bogles- the only other aggro deck which interests me.
I kind of want to try Bant even though GW is more popular.
Still need: Coronet x2, Leyline x1, Horizon Canopy x3 (this is a sticking point- I don't want to spend $90 on another three of these- how well does the deck do without them?)
Titan Bloom- Much like Tron and Twin, I really like how this deck plays.
Still need: Titan x2, Summer Bloom x4, Amulet x4, Azusa x4 (Azusa is to this deck what Horizon Canopy is to Bogles. How many does the deck need to be at its best?)
Blue Moon- another really fun-looking deck which would cost a bit to complete
Still need: Blood Moon x4 (ouch!)
Jeskai Control- I love control decks,
and this eems like the only viable version in Modern.
Still need: absolutely nothing.
I also feel I should mention I really like the idea of a UB Fae deck,
but those don't seem to fare too well.
So, looking back, it seems like Jeskai Control is a no-brainer.
But what about the other decks I mentioned?
Why do you enjoy playing with these decks?
Do you think they would be worth the cards I would need for them
(mainly a question for Titan Bloom, Blue Moon, and Bogles)?
Are there other, less established decks I might enjoy
(and can build with what I have and a few extra cards)?
Momir Vig, Simic Visionary
Melek, Izzet Paragon
Oona, Queen of the Fae
Bruna, Light of Alabaster
Gisela, Blade of Goldnight
Rhys the Redeemed
Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord
