This is the list I have running for awhile now online. It's been working really well. Any thoughts on the list? The deprive, flame slash, and pillar of flame are just being tested out. I also feel like depending on how the meta turns out I feel like those as well as the mana leaks and remands are all flex slots.
My curiosity now is what decks are going to be able to take advantage of this change. I think then we can build our decks accordingly. Otherwise we are trying to replace cards that were good in the last format but that format has now drastically changed. So what decks do we think will now sprout to be on top?
Hey everyone, This is my modern cube I have been working on for the last two years. I thought I would post the list so you all could enjoy as well as provide feedback/suggestions as you see fit. It started out as a Modern Masters cube and turned into a Modern cube with a spice of 1 legacy card per each color for fun. Here is the list. Thanks for reading.
I have been testing out 2 Vendilion Clique in the deck with a swords of fire and ice and 2 Grim lavamancers. I noticed the deck that made the top 8 in the star city premium IQ had alot more counter spells without the flash of Clique and swords. Is that the direction we should be taking this deck? to a more controlling while attacking with incremental damage from cheap creatures?
For reference and constructive feedback this is the current list I have been sporting
Looking forward to your guy's thoughts on my list as well as the future of the deck itself in respect to which cards should fill in the final holes of our lists.
Blustersquall sounds like an interesting card actually. The only issue with both cards is the mana cost. With our deck we can reach those amounts. However we prefer to get to three mana and stay there really. In my opinion if we have drawn that many lands we probably aren't ready to win yet or won't win.
I totally agree on all your thoughts on this. I am very new to the deck and I was just thinking outside the box and wanted to see how it was received. So thank you for the input and how it makes alot of sense. In my opinion the deck seems very powerful. I do feel like something is holding it back for some reason. Which is why i was trying to think outside the box because I dont think it would take too much to make this an even better deck and figured it would be best to start with ideas that were a bit out there. You know?
I just recently became a delver believer. I was always playing Merfolk but now I'm up for a bigger challenge. Iv been using clique for the short time I have the deck and it's awesome. I have also been using goblin guide instead of YP. I'm just not impressed with him so far so I'm trying out the guide instead. So far I'm enjoying the deck. I look forward to sharing thoughts on sideboards and stuff soon.
Here is my current list.
Not a stupid question. yes you can. Tidebinder doesn't require for your opponent to have a red or green creature. Its a trigger ability that your able to use if you have a target.
Hey any word on more sideboard options for the page. Im making my own go to sheet when I make sideboard decisions for certain events. The decks that I missing ideas on are; Ad Nauseam, Auras, Blue Moon, Burn, Infect, Mirror match, Scapeshift, and UWx Control and midrange. Ofcorse some of these decks don't necessarily need sideboard slots but I like the idea of having a go to document if ever a deck gets new tech that deserves sideboard slots from us. I hope this all made sense and thanks in advance for your ideas.
Have you guys ever considered running cards like serum visions and the like? It could be a good replacement for cursecatcher as it sets up our next draws and card advantage. What do you all think?
Have you guys ever considered running Sygg river cutthroat? Iv really been enjoying him with all the sac lands in the format and just drawing extra cards.
I hate when players say we have a crap deck after we beat them. Why do players say that. Obviously we can put up good results. It just bothers me and kind of haunts me. Makes me worry that I need to be playing one of the main tier 1 decks
