Do you guys think bitterblossom is a must have in today's modern meta, or is the Raise the Alarm version still playable? It's been a while since I played modern, but I used to have moderate success at my lgs with the below decklist. It tries to play a little more aggressively with only 23 lands and Legion's Landing which worked decently most of the time. Zealous Persecution has also been a gamechanger so often that I decided to run 3 mainboard.
I do realize this deck is probably a bit outdated for today's meta. I had a read of the last few pages of this thread, but have a hard time deciding how to improve the list. I'd probably make the following changes:
- 1 Swamp
+ 2 Shambling Vent /////// Land count up to 24
- 1 Zealous Persecution
- 2 Secure the Wastes
+ 2 Fatal Push
How does the landbase look after adding Shambling Vents? Will I run out of steam lategame with only 3 planeswalkers and no Bitterblossom? If I decided to remove the Legion's Landing, what should I replace them with?
4 Marsh Flats
3 Windswept Heath
3 Godless Shrine
4 Concealed Courtyard
3 Plains
2 Swamp
2 Ghost Quarter
1 Vault of the Archangel
1 Fetid Heath
3 Inquisition of Kozilek
3 Thoughtseize
4 Path to Exile
Tokens: 15
3 Legion's Landing
4 Raise the Alarm
4 Lingering Souls
4 Spectral Procession
4 Intangible Virtue
3 Zealous Persecution
PW/lategame: 5
2 Sorin, Solemn Visitor
1 Gideon, Ally of Zendikar
2 Secure the Wastes
The sideboard will probably include Rest in Peace, Pithing Needle, Stony Silence, Damping Sphere etc. Maybe Auriok Champion.
