MTG Salvation

So I would like to switch from Standard Naya Aggro like my current deck and use as much of it as possible (if any) towards a Naya modern deck that would actually stand a bit of a chance. There is a big event coming up locally I want to support my LGS. I am saying Budget-ish because I can spend some money, but Fetches and Goyfs are out of the question. I haven't played Modern before. I just want to support my LGS at an upcoming PTQ. I don't have any delusions on how well it will do. Like I had said before just going to support my LGS, not looking to dump a lot of money into Modern right now anyway.

Current Standard Deck


I've been reading stuff from Lantern and watching his videos, still a little up in the air.

Edit: I should say my budget is in the realm of ~100 dollars.

This is almost all un-usable. You can make a homebrew but you'll need more money if you expect it to stand a chance.

Well I didn't expect much outside of the shocks to be usable. I was looking at something like this.


There are just so many cards in Modern that I am not familiar with.

That list is ok. Should be playable at least. Problem is consistent 3 color with no fetches is not gonna happen. Maybe a few farseek or similar to pseudo fetch?

Needs Gavony Township and Birds of Paradise

I'd probably take out Nacatl without fetches. I agree the township and Birds are good but I think they'd fit better in a midrange deck with swords and Voice. That said I think Burning-Tree Emissary needs to find its way into the deck, being able to get a 3 power experiment one(from Emissary Flinthoof) on the second turn is just too powerful. I'd maybe try to find space for Qasali Pridemage Also Replacing Thoctar with Loxodon Smiter is probably better and not much money(also a ton easier on the mana. Finally I think you need some space for either Pillar of Flame or Rest in Peace because Pod is serious business and Kitchen Finks will ruin your day. It's hard coming up with a definitive list but I think with enough playtesting you'll find something you really like.

I may consider going for a selesnia mid range deck with the cards you have. Use birds and elf for one drops. Use voice and lion for 2 drops. Use brimaz and smiter for 3 drops. Use elspeth for your 4 drops.
Removal you can usepath to exile and oblivion ring

Other curve filling cards include
Qasali pridemage
strangle root giest
kitchen flinks
for lands you can have the shock, the check gavony township, the pain land
