Thanks for the suggestions. Definitely going to be adding quite a few of those, and luckily I think I can scavenge a burgeoning off a friends, and I can probably acquire Explore and loam. Also I like the idea of GW with a splash, it's an interesting take on the idea. Surprised that I didn't have loam in here sooner, as it definitely helps protect the lands and in particular the maze's end wincon lol. I'll have to look at what I can pull and if I do pull basics I can pull a lot of the basic love cards like the tusker and the like, anyways thanks for the advice.
Hey so I've always loved the concept of land based decks so I wanted to make one for fun. Now the reason for karona as the commander rather than progenitus, or child is mostly because I've been unable to get a hold of any of them so I used the only penta I had. Anyways onto the list. I tried building as much as I could on my budget with the main wincons being manlands, planeswalkers, and maze's end.
I like what both of you are saying and I'll do some playtesting to see how it works, because I understand the need for a turn 1 LB against certain matchups but at teh same time shocks and fetches will just be murdering me. As a side note on painful lands another consideration are the painlands still not a big fan there.
I did consider crumbling necropolis and the checklands I'm just worried at how slow they may be. The checklands a little less so because if played right they generally come in untapped but still.
'Now the land base is the question because I need access to multiple colors yet don't want to hurt myself at the same time making the shocks and painlands sort of meh. Still I think a manabase that I was working on will look something close to this.
As for the snapcaster I will think about him he is a solid choice, but still gotta find cuts and I agree on terminate rather than disfigure in this case. And as for why faeries rather than something else, well faeries has a truly unique play style that I just enjoy and find a lot of fun out of playing, simply.
Hey everybody been playing UB faeries for awhile and have been loving it but now I wanted to try something a little different so I threw together a Grixis list and was looking for some input. Mostly was looking for help on the manabase and some good choices for it. Thank you for the help!
Yeah Elixir would be good then for cheerios maybe maindecked engineered explosives or ratchet bomb, and for merfolk try to get out the bridge early and if you do that you should be good until you are ready to win.
A good start has a lot of potential. Do you know what your meta is yet because if so you could do a little more tailoring for it like some Elixir of Immortality if you have a lot of aggro in your area, or Echoing Truth which has good versatility.
Spreading Seas is very good if you have tron in your meta, but otherwise looks pretty good so far.
As for the other beaters it all depends on one hand they are a lot of mana and getting to said mana can be a pain without a lock, like bridge, you can always try them for fun and see how it goes. Lodestone Golem is also a solid beater for an artifact heavy list.
As a side note I would also check out a lot of old mirrodin, new mirrodin, and alara cards just to see if there's any artifacts that you could use because oh boy did they have a lot of them lol.
I love Tezz decks, so I'm definitely up for building a Tezzerator deck. As I've got three Tezzeret the Seeker and much prefer him to the UB Tezz I'd rather go mono-U.
Awesome as I said you have an good start to a tezz deck, with the ensnaring bridges the fetches + crucibles. As well the remand, mana leak, serum visions, and academy ruins. Vedalken Shackles are around 12$ each so it's up to you hpow many you would want on your budget I would say around 2-3 and then from their it's getting some cool value artifacts like Aether spellbomb, as well as some fun control spells. As a side note Artificer's Epiphany from origins could be a good draw spell for the deck if needed. As for win cons well there's tezz, the shackles, and if you feel like it maybe some other nice beater or perhaps even baby jace.
I generally enjoy control decks, particularly U and B and aiming to have a deck which can take a decent place at FNM.
I'm currently playing around with an Esper Gifts Ungiven list and an Izzet Trading Post list to give you an idea of what sort of lists I usually come up with.
My budget currently is about €40, so unfortunately no playsets of Bobs or Goyfs!
Hmm looking at this list you could quite possibly make a budget tezzerator list. With your budget you may have to do some interesting. things but you could either go UB if you are willing to get new Tezz and maybe a few other artifact toys, or heck even mono U if you are willing to buy Vedalken Shackles. I used to play the deck in the past and it was a lot of fun. The bridges and crucibles will work very will in the deck, and it looks like you have a good number of good blue stuff to help out.
So I've been wanting to build another legacy deck for awhile and I've narrowed down my choices but I'm still conflicted on what to play. The Choices are Nic Fit, Team Italia, and maybe zombardment (More on the fence with this one.). Both look like enjoyable decks, that I would probably have fun with, still. In general I like playing funky fun cards and just interesting choices as well. At the same time I do likle haveing a good chance at winning. I also like to save money wherever possible. As for the legacy staples I own, 1 Liliana of the Veil, swords to ploweshares, lightning bolts, hymn to tourachs, a Deathrite Shaman, Jitte, All the stuff needed for dragon stompy (Hellbent list). As for the meta it's an unknown meta. Anyways thanks for the help!
So long time dragon stompy player here looking to start a new deck. I saw this primer and almost instantly fell in love my question though is what variation of nic fit would be best for someone who doesn't mind spending a lot but would prefer, to spend less. Also the more controlly the better for me. Thanks for the help!
Hi so I've loved the faeries deck ever since its time in standard so I wanted to build it in modern. Now my list is sort of budget in a sense meaning when possible I'd like to avoid super expensive cards but I'll still buy them eventually. I just wanted advice on what to get and how the list looks. Thank you!!
So yeah nay help on refining the deck would help as well as coming up with a sideboard. So far the decks I've seen in my meta are 2 Collected Company Elves, 3 Sliver Decks, Mono-White Aggro, Mono White knights, BW Tokens, infect, White lifegain, RG tron, Boggles, and a shadowborn Apostle Deck.
So I already had a 360 cube and I decided I wanted a 180 also to have a more easily transportable cube whenever I travel and such. Used some of the same themes from my other cube but also tried some new things and just tried to make some casual fun cube goodness.
Comments and Suggestions very much appreciated. I'm not to sure about my multicolor section at this point as it may need tweaking I think. But yeah comments and thoughts much appreciated! ultimatum.
