MTG Salvation

What if we protected it with mana tithe

What about monastery mentor? Maybe as a one of.

Thanks I’ll look into Mardu, are there any good primers? Also it doesn’t seem to have any shot against control decks like uw control with lots of counters. Any inputs?

I play one that still uses quellers and retreat. What are ur opinions about those

I’m looking for another modern deck that has the ability to win in the current meta that isn’t super expensive. I currently play devoted Druid knightfall and I like it but it’s a bit all or nothing for me. My budget is around 800 bucks. I want to interact and be able to kill stuff but I don’t Have the money for jund. Bloodbraid Elf looks fun’s but it’s not necessary.

Double blue sucks, and reflector mage just seems better imo. I’d sooner replace reflector mage for meddling mage than merfolk trickster

I realize, I’m asking how it would fit in if he did put it in. He complained about lackluster two drops. The combo uses two drops so I’m thinking that we could put it in.

Clique would be straining the mana too much. How would you fit the Vizier combo in here, you complained about lackluster two drops.

I play Vizier version sooooooo.....

Lockdown smiter is appealing to me right now because I just lost to 8-rack
I mulled to 5 game one and then he drops the rack turn one after I dropped a land and a dork. Thoughts?

Shanna, Sisay’s Legacy?

Quote from Dejadal »

Ewit is more important to the Vizier build than you think. Sometimes it lets you win games you otherwise wouldn't have (infinite mana but only CoCo in hand. CoCo into Ewit to chain into another CoCo, a chord you played previously, win con that ended up in the GY previously, etc.)
UU for V clique might be tough on the Vizier mana base. You mentioned a few times in your report that you were kept off white mana with cards trapped in your hand. I don't think straining your color requirements with double blue is a good call. But then again people have had success running Jace, so I could be wrong. My meta has a pretty fair amount of Blood Moon and LD so I tend to shy away from those types of deckbuilding choices.

I'm not sure how I feel about MB Geist. Imo you should replace him with a Walking Ballista. It's really hard to keep the board clear enough to swing with him against Midrange. you're better off trying to combo first against combo decks. He's great out of the SB against control through.

I'm not sure if MB Path and Nissa are where you want to be either. It really waters down your CoCo to have that many non creature spells (especially in a deck with this many forks) I'm a HUGE fan of Nissa (run 2 in my 75 for traditional Knightfall) but I think she's a SB card for this deck. I tried testing her in the main but realized every time I drew her I would've rather had a chord or creature instead.

I don't remember if it was you who asked about renegade rallier for this deck, but I've been testing him as a 1-of and really pleased with the results. Revolt is relatively easy to trigger with all our Fetches + Knight.

Overall though, congrats on the strong finish! Wishing you the 4-0 next time

Oh also personal choice, I like to run Gavony over GQ for my 2nd colorless land. Gavony is great when you need too switch to beat down mode. Turns those 0/X and 2/1's into some serious beaters!

Thanks for the comments! i have put in e-wit for geist and put in a rallier over the ghost quarter. This deck only needs 20 lands.

took this list to a modern event and did well


Round 1: Merfolk (2-0)
Game 1 he's on the play and he drops a vial turn one. I drop a dork and then pass. I quickly assemble the vizier-druid combo and he scoops.
Game 2 he doesn't get a vial and I close him out on turn 3 with the vizier-druid combo because I had the nut play of dork, druid, vizier, rhonas, win.
1-0

Round 2: Mono-Black Devotion (2-1)
Game 1 I keep a risky hand that was super susceptible to removal and mana screwing but I thought I would be fine because I had a hierarch, a forest and a breeding pool along with a druid and a vizier. I was feeling confident until turn 1 he inquisitions me taking the druid, and then turn 2 he fatal pushes the hierarch. I have no white mana so I can do nothing but flounder helplessly while he drops two Phyrexian Obliterators and my only blocker is a devoted druid and my hand is full of knights. I have a path that I can't use. Ugh.
Game 2 goes really long but all I can remember was that it was going really well when he cast damnation. I thought I was smart and cast queller only to have him cast Go For the Throat on it. Both of our boards are clean so I drop a knight and a dork. He drops an obliterator but I can cast path this time so that wasn't a problem. I beat him down with an ever growing knight. He cast a Gray Merchant of Asphodel thinking he had me in the bag but reflector mage came through to let me get in lethal with knight.
Game 3 we went to turns because we only had 5 minutes left in the round but I combo'd off during my first turn after time expired.
2-0

Round 3: Jund (1-1-1)
Game 1: I can't get any combos up and running but the beatdown plan was going pretty well. He drew a Scavenging Ooze and raised his life total from 1 to 4 thinking that it would be enough to survive his bob trigger. It wasn't, he flipped Kalitas, Traitor of Ghet He would have had me the next turn or so because he had a big goyf to swing with which was bigger than my knight at the time.
Game 2: I mull to 6 and keep a solid hand comprised of forest, bird, knight, retreat, botanical sanctum and an island. I scry to reveal a fetch and I send it to the bottom because I wanted more gas, I already 3 lands and a bird. That cost me the game. I never drew another land and he bolted my bird. It left me on no white mana when I had knights, quellers and reflector mages in my hand.
Game 3: A back and forth match up that led to us both getting into topdeck mode. I was up 15 to 3 life but was only drawing lands. He also only drew lands. We went to turns and he drew a scooze, the very card he needed. He had the last turn, so he swung at me, I blocked. Draw
2-0-1

Round 4: Burn
Game 1 I get Nissa going and things are going well. I wind up with the Vizier Combo and win.
Game 2 I get Nissa again and things are looking up until he double boros charms me. He's out of gas and only has a Goblin Guide and a Monastery Swiftspear I'm low on life but my scry with nissa revealed a Kitchen Finks from my sideboard. I thought I was saved. At the end of his turn I cracked a fetch. Shuffled and then realized that my finks was gone. He killed me the next turn
Game 3 I assemble the vizier combo really quick and get a turn 3 win.
3-0-1

It was a solid performance by the deck and the one time that I got geist it performed very well. Eternal Witness wasn't good to me and I never got anything good off of it even though I got it a lot. My prize was a Vendilion Clique and I will be putting it in for E-wit. I've played traditional knightfall and in this meta that's full of linear decks I think that this list is one of the best ways to go. It's fast and has multiple combos, while still having the beatdown plan as an option. It has some interaction which is good enough to beat the super linear decks like merfolk. I was very pleased with the deck.

Let me know about any thoughts ya'll have

The deck that I have been playing for a while now is very similar to the vikram list. However I am running paths instead of jaces. My list combines vizier knightfall and normal knightfall. Im taking it to a 1k pretty soon and want to know if ya'll have any last minute tune ups for me. I can't really afford more hierarchs right now so at the moment I only have 1. I'm working on that.



I'd like to maybe include a Renegade Rallier because i have the promo one but if its not good let me know. Let me know what you all think and what I should change
Thanks
EDIT: Also, what does it mean when a tournment requires a decklist? Does it have to be paper or could it be a google keep note?

I’m looking for a modern deck, I’m open to anything but I would like to win with it. I like value, I want great removal along with relevant threats. I don’t have a price point because I’ve been saving money for a long time. As for staples I own, none really. I’m also afraid of the ban-hammer.
