Hello, everyone! The concept of a Humans deck has peaked my interest ever since I've started playing MtG, but I never got around to building and playing it. I have a question before I begin building (and I'm sorry if anyone has brought it up recently), but is it really that hard to go straight 5C for the deck? From what I've gathered, the main reason for going Black Bant is Anafenza, The Foremost, while Red Bant has more interesting choices (I honestly would love to play Kari Zev, Skyship Raider in a deck, finally!). What are the main differences in card choices between Black and Red that make them so different (aside from the already mentioned Anafenza and Kari Zev, and Mantis Rider)? I could totally see using Sacred Foundry/Overgrown Tomb in tandem, or Godless Shrine/Stomping Ground.
I'll see about adding more fetches, might be an interesting idea. Thank you for your input!
About the Dryads and the Sanctuary... Well, I guess it depends on the meta. Sanctuary can be interesting in a meta full of targeting effects and Control decks (so my locals could see me playing this at least as a 1, if not even 2-of. We'll see). Stats for Dryads were changed to be 3/1, and if that's actually the case, I would rather run Kessig Prowler over a 3/1 that ramps the opponent. Still, we'll see, it's still two months away. I (or they) might be wrong. Besides, the whole set is still a mystery, so we might get new toys in the other unrevealed slots! (one can only hope...)
Also, I thought about Narnam Renegade and actually like the option, but I felt only 4 fetchlands weren't going to be quite enough to trigger Revolt (I would have cut the Kalonian and a single Dryad for three of them).
About Collected Company, I actually thought about how hard it would have been to profit off it constantly with so little creatures. But I didn't get as many failures as I was prepared to, and the deck actually felt better overall! I'm probably going to move them though, if I'm not going to use more creatures.
Actually, I playtested some with the deck and there was way more clunkiness than usual, even without the Sunpetal (not helped by the fact that my lone Plains always popped up in my starting hand). So, I guess I'll stay on MonoG train for a while longer.
Are we allowed to talk about supposed spoilers from Ixalan? I don't want to get anyone angry, but I noticed a card in there that might be interesting if it's true...
Hello, everyone! I'm new to this forum (not to MtG in general, though) and I've recently decided to come back to Modern after a short hiatus. I've played my Stompy deck since getting back on, but I would like some suggestions about a white splash. This is what I'm considering running:
My actual list is pretty standard, so I would like to try branching out a bit. Sideboard is still up in the air, the only sure entries for now being Relic of Progenitus and Natural State, but I would like to try spicing the mainboard up a bit before working on that. Any help is appreciated!
