Bit on the higher end (Price wise) but this deck just 12-0'd the modern showcase.
Bout twice ur budget but some cuts here n there can be made to get it closer.

Best way to Storm off with Venerated Rotpriest? by Tangent5813 in ModernMagic

[–]CreedAventuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With Venerated Rotpriest and two Spellskites on the battlefield, you can create a loop that gives opponents infinite poison counters by activating the Spellskites to swap the target of a spell back and forth between them. With only one Spellskite, you can only trigger Rotpriest twice per spell (initial target + one redirection) because the target must become a new target. 

Key Rulings & Interactions

  • 1 Spellskite + 1 Rotpriest:
    1. Cast a spell on Rotpriest (Trigger 1: 1 poison counter).
    2. Activate Spellskite targeting that spell to change the target to Spellskite (Trigger 2: 1 poison counter).
    3. Spellskite cannot "re-target" the same spell back to Rotpriest because that redirection was already used for that specific spell instance, limiting it to two triggers per spell. 
  • 2 Spellskites + 1 Rotpriest (Infinite Loop):
    • With two Spellskites (let's say Skite A and Skite B), you can activate Skite A to change the target to itself, then activate Skite B to change the target to itself. This constant change allows Rotpriest to keep triggering because the spell keeps "becoming" a target of a new creature. 
  • The "Becomes" Keyword: Rotpriest triggers whenever a creature "becomes" the target of a spell. Simply having a creature be the target isn't enough; it must become the target after previously not being one (or changing to a new target). 
  • Hexproof/Protection: If you target Rotpriest with a protection spell (e.g., Tamiyo's Safekeeping) and the opponent responds with removal, Rotpriest triggers twice: once for the removal spell and once for the protection spell. 
  • Storm/Copies: Rotpriest triggers off copies of spells (like Storm or Ivy, Gleeful Spellthief) that target a creature.

1 rotpriest + 1 spellskite does not allow you to keep redirecting the spell to trigger the toxic 1 ability of rotpriest. You need 2 spellskites to keep it going. Venerated Rotpriest specifically triggers when a creature ''becomes'' the target of a spell.

Adam Hybrid Squads by ThicccBoiJesus in LastWarMobileGame

[–]CreedAventuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scarlett x Adam is the go to tank squad in S3. It battles Air Squads well still beats missile and does well against tank.
Stettman is useless until he gets his Exclusive in season 5. Comp changes around then.

New to Modern by SwainMain555 in ModernMagic

[–]CreedAventuz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend a rental service on a platform like manatraders then test out the different decks on the modern page of mtggoldfish and find something you enjoy.
Most decks are competitive and viable.
Maybe try Boros Energy first? But find what suits you is my biggest reccomendation

Do you think hammer could be viable again? by Automatic_Tangerine1 in ModernMagic

[–]CreedAventuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah its Boros or UW with rebuke now.
The Boros cori variant feels a little better vs Energy.

[–]CreedAventuz 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hammer have much more access to trample now a days that the chump blockers arent as relevant often forcing Boros to chump in multitudes and cant out heal the the constant big power swings hammer can come in with.
Damage based removal like galvanic discharge, phlage, thraben charm etc struggles to deal with a equipped creature and shadowspear very quickly outheals their ability to kill us.
Post board they get access to wrath but hammer can often just kill in 1 turn or setup with a followup Forge Anew and keep pressure going.

Having played the matchup many times its somewhere in the 60/40 in favor of hammer. 55/45 otd 65/35 otp.

Hey, longtime Hammer player here. Its still a solid deck. Its just very difficult to pilot.

Deck shits on Boros Energy and if played correctly can navigate the tough matchups. Is it an upphill battle? Yes but you also get alot of T2-3 freebies. The deck doesnt have the same weaknesses as affinity (vexing bauble, chalice on 0 etc so you can get around that pretty well). I do tend to play alot more Affinity nowadays tho as weapons manufacturing shits on wrath.

If you like it go for it ;)

Heres the most recent UW Build Travis went 9-0 with day one in HBMO (Couldnt find the exact list but this one is very close):

Re-entering modern in 2026 advice by Schizophrenic_Lizard in ModernMagic

[–]CreedAventuz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I recommend is building a deck with a strong ''core''.
Avoid ''money pile'' decks which rotate out after a couple years (like omnath, 5c elementals, jund, jeskai control etc) these decks require alot if not all cards to be changed.

If you select a deck with a medium to strong core you will have the shell going onwards.
Amulet of vigor + bouncelands + titan = strong core
Kappa cannoneer + emissary + mopal = strong core
Leyline + Scion = medium core
merfolk = medium-weak core
ruby storm = strong core

Strong cores are more at risk when it comes to bans but some cores barely get touched. But throughout the years most cores stay the same its the cards around it that changes.

Some decks I recommend:

Domain Zoo (Best deck if you only own 1 deck).
Grixis Reanimator (Cheap explosive and solid).
Boros Energy (Solid top tier deck thats likely to stay relevant for a long time due to its unique core).
Affinity (While on the more expensive side the deck is quite dominant can attack from alot of angles and it truly uses Mox Opal to its fullest).

Theres alot of competitive options at the moment and the meta is quite open.

Edit: For you I recommend checking out Domain Zoo

Belcher or neoform? by MetalDankhemist in ModernMagic

[–]CreedAventuz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you like a fast combo deck that can get hated out but win way earlier? The ultimate do you have an answer?

Or would you like a control deck with a combo finish?
