Hi! I need some help preparing a deck for tomorrow's PTQ in my area.
I don't have a big pool of modern cards, mainly standard cards.
What standard deck do you think can win some games in modern? or what's the most easy deck I can adapt for it? Just to stay at least a bit competitive.
Thanks for your feedback! Oblivion Ring could be better you're right. I don't have *** so probably DoJ will do it, just hope not to view many Thrun, the Last Troll or Troll Ascetic. I was thinking of removing 1 Honor of the Pure for a singleton Immortal Servitude for better late game. What do you think of it?
Hi! I just wanted to say hi to the community. I'm a reader of this forums since a long time, and all of you helped me to make better decks and learn cool strategy tips.
Glad to be part of this group! Hope to help in the future and learn something new everyday!
I have a PTQ on saturday and I'm planning on taking this list:
4 Overgrown Tomb
4 Temple Garden
4 Forest
3 Isolated Chapel
2 Godless Shrine
2 Sunpetal Grove
2 Woodland Cemetery
2 Cavern of Souls
Creatures
4 Avacyn's Pilgrim
3 Arbor Elf
1 Voice of Resurgence (don't have more)
2 Loxodon Smiter
1 Fiend Hunter
3 Restoration Angel
4 Thragtusk
2 Acidic Slime
3 Angel of Serenity
1 Craterhoof Behemoth
4 Grisly Salvage
4 Unburial Rites
3 Mulch
1 Sever the Bloodline
Planeswalkers
1 Garruk Relentless
2 Acidic Slime
2 Sin Collector
2 Ray or Revelation
2 Purify the Grave
2 Pithing Needle
2 Abrupt Decay
1 Slayer of the Wicked
1 Blood Baron of Vizkopa
1 Obzedat, Ghost Council
I expect many UWR, Gr Aggro / RDW , and Junk and 4c Reanimator.
I'm using 2 Pithing Needle mainly for planeswalkers like Jace, Memory Adept, Domri Rade and cards like Olivia Voldaren and Aetherling. It resolves problematic cards for reanimator.
Also 1 Blood Baron of Vizkopa but don't know really where it shines. Zombies maybe?
One card I love is Craterhoof Behemoth, but I don't know if it's time for Lingering Souls again on MD.
Suggestions?
4 Detention Sphere
4 Runed Hallo
4 Ghostly Prison
4 Porphyry Nodes
3 Copy Enchantment
3 Leyline of Sanctity
2 Sphere of Safety
1 Curse of Echoes
3 Terminus
3 Syncopate
Planeswalkers
2 Jace, Memory Adept
2 Gideon, Champion of Justice
Lands
13 Plains
4 Hallowed Fountain
4 Glacial Fortress
2 Celestial Colonnade
2 Island
3 Nevermore
3 Rest in Peace
3 Greater Auramancy
2 Aetherling
1 Terminus
1 Leyline of Sanctity
1 Curse of Echoes
1 Entreat the Angels
I don't have fetchs but could go there also.
Comments?
If your meta is more midrange oriented then "acidic's main" version is more appropiate.
If your meta is more aggro oriented then centaur's/smiter's versions are more appropiate.
That's what I take from this.
I'm planning on taking this for tonight's fnm:
4 Forest
4 Temple Garden
4 Overgrown Tomb
3 Isolated Chapel
2 Sunpetal Grove
2 Godless Shrine
2 Woodland Cemetery
1 Gavony Township
1 Cavern of Souls
Creatures
4 Avacyn's Pilgrim
4 Arbor Elf
3 Acidic Slime
3 Thragtusk
3 Angel of Serenity
3 Restoration Angel
1 Craterhoof behemoth
4 Grisly Salvage
4 Unburial Rites
3 Mulch
3 Lingering Souls
2 Garruk Relentless
2 Deathrite Shaman
2 Duress
2 Tragic Slip
2 Trostani, Selesnya's Voice
1 Acidic Slime
1 Thragtusk
1 Cavern of Souls
1 Abrupt Decay
1 Golgari Charm
1 Fiend Hunter
1 Obzedat, Ghost Council
My local meta is a mix of UWR, some aggro and Esper.
Any thoughts?
Could be a problem for our dorks, but with a Thragtusk on table or some Unburial Rites and creatures on grave could be fun.
Any thoughts?
What cards do you bring in this matchup?
I don't have a big pool of modern cards, mainly standard cards.
What standard deck do you think can win some games in modern? or what's the most easy deck I can adapt for it? Just to stay at least a bit competitive.
I was thinking of something like this:
4 Birds of Paradise
4 Avacy's Pilgrim
4 Loxodon Smiter
4 Mirran Crusader
2 Thrun, the Last Troll
1 Sigarda, Host of Herons
With a sword package that I have: 3 Sword of War and Peace and 2 Sword of Feast and Famine, and some removal cards like 3 Path to Exile and 2 Oblivion Ring.
The other option is using my White Knights Deck (Modern, with Knight Exemplar), but I'm not sure if this will be much better.
Thanks!
Also, whats better against pod? I was planning using Leonin Arbiter, Thalia, Guardian of Thraben and Revoke Existence (this one can also help against Affinity).
Don't have Wilt-leaf Liege, it's a nice card, but maybe can be replaced with Angel of Jubilation? Also pumps my creatures and can help against Birthing Pod.
On a last note, I really miss another good 1cc drop. Champion of the Parish? Not sure, I wish it were a Knight.
Glad to be part of this group! Hope to help in the future and learn something new everyday!
