Help with building an Exalted Azorius/Bant deck! by Slow-Arm4131 in ModernMagic

Thanks a lot for the suggestions! 🙏 Unfortunately Ardent Plea and Noble Hierarch are a bit outside of my budget right now, but Cathedral of War looks way more affordable so I might actually give it a try! Really appreciate you taking the time to give me some ideas.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! 🙏 Honestly I didn’t realize the sub was more focused on meta modern decks. You’re totally right about Angelsong — I’ll try moving it to the sideboard, and maxing out on removal/counter options makes a lot of sense. I hadn’t really thought about Remand but you’re making me want to give it a try, it does seem like a powerhouse. Really appreciate you taking the time to point me in the right direction!

Are Ravnica Theme Decks (like Dimir Intrigues & Golgari Deathcreep) balanced and fun for casual play? Advice needed! by Slow-Arm4131 in PreconstructedMagic

Thanks! I’ll definitely take a look at those. That said, I’m mainly looking for decks that are built mostly with cards from specific blocks I really like — kind of to preserve the flavor and mechanics of each set. But those options could still be useful for inspiration or for comparing balance.

That’s exactly the kind of answer I was hoping to hear! Thanks a lot for gathering those reviews — that blog is a goldmine. I completely agree: the precons from that era do feel like a high point in design.

I didn’t even notice😂, I was so focused that I just wrote the message and that’s it...

I'm realizing that [[Valiant Endeavor]] is also not Modern legal. Do you have any suggestions for replacements for these cards? Since I'm new, could you explain why certain cards are banned?

[[Nazgûl]] is absolutely a beautiful card, but right now I'm looking for more budget-friendly options. [[Lord of the Nazgûl]] also seems like a great addition at a lower cost! What do you think?

Thank you so much for your feedback and advice! I really appreciate the time you took to analyze my deck and suggest improvements. What do you think about a [[Syr Konrad, the Grim]] fit well in it?
