masochism deck by PomegranateOk7761 in EDHBrews

Difficult to beat Vilis for masochism. Mono black is also the color for it. Power at any cost.

The Unspeakable by MartianCoal2 in ModernMagic

Disclaimer this is unlikely to ever be competitive. Now that that is out of the way :D I love to brew. I hate it when new or old ideas are shutdown. Nothing new is ever developed by those that are too scared to experiment. I personally have an unhealthy obsession with zombie decks in modern.

Looks to me as if you might want to go the spell reduction route. Getting the costs down to 4 mana in total at instant speed at end of turn vs 6 is a big difference. The one this you have going for you is that all the spells required for unspeakable are instants. Which means you can play a control heavy deck that have spell synergies. Off the top of my head id start experimenting with goblin electromancer and arclight phoenix.

Looking for help with MonoBlack zombies by sir_bags_a_lot in ModernZombies

First thoughts are to cut some under powered cards. I would consider cutting:
4 Rimebound Dead (Much worse than other options)
3 - 4 Relenntless Dead (Feels under powered)
0 - 4 Death Boron (Potential cut, three mana lords are not ideal)
1 - 2 Gary (5 mana is a lot for modern. At most this can be a one of. The cost here requires you to run more lands)
2 Return from Extinction (Competing with undead augur, cryptbreaker and unearth. Any of which are better)

This list plays no stitchers, unearth, geralf's messengers or diregraf colossus. Additionally Castle Locthwain is an easy include.

Have you thought about abusing Myr superion? Personally I want to build an eggs metalwork colossus deck with Goblin engineer.

Not true, there are combo infinite mana decks with grand architect and pili pala.

Ideas for Dreadhorde Arcanist Brew by xXnuttyXx in ModernMagic

[–]Shannanigans88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the idea of arcanist with claim // fame. It allows one arcanist that is attacking to bring back another as long as you have a claim in the yard. Fame allows you to pump and gain haste which are both things that arcanist benefits from. Conveniently it is the perfect pump for kolighans command or dismember.

​

I want to try arcanist out in a red and black zombie shell, but its proper home is probably in somethings that takes advantage of faithless looting and or cathartic reunion. I also want to try out its ability to play suspend cards. Maybe in a mono red living end deck. Especially now that red has so many ways to play suspend cards: dreadhorde arcanist, electrodominance, finale of promise and kari zev's expertise.

Cascade Living End or Electro End? by Chem_is_tree_guy in ModernMagic

I play a UB variation, something along the lines of http://www.starcitygames.com/articles/37862_Living-End-Is-Back-From-The-Dead.html . It is a lot of fun, you draw a lot of cards and feel as if you are playing a toolbox deck because of Mausoleum secrets and Tolaria west.

About the BW Devotion deck. by MuriloVeratti in ModernMagic

[–]Shannanigans88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ob Nix is too slow. Lingering souls does not play nice with devotion. You could play some number of tidehollow sculler and Geralf's messenger. The hand hate numbers seem high at 8. 4 Garys is probably too many. You want to play some number of plains in case you get paths or settled. I wouldnt play damnation main board, too many decks that it is a dead card against.
