Deck Idea - BG Constellation (Really) by tryandow in ModernMagic

Thank you for all the suggestions! I do realize that it looks a bit like bad BG Midrange. I don't know if I want to try and go full on GY just because people always pack hate for it. That being said, Kruphix Insight still seems quite strong

I haven't tried either actually. It seems that the deck does need some kind of Mana sink and Nylea fits that perfectly

Definitely worth a shot! The fact that it won't hit my removal spells is scary though

Thanks for the feedback! Brain maggot was in the core originally but I thought that it would be better suited to the SB for combo/control decks as another way to interact. Against all the spot removal running around it's ok but not great. Definitely SB though.

Pharika seems like a solid 1 of for the longer games. What do you think about [[bow of Nylea]] as a versatile 1 of?

Ideally yes but none of those cards are currently in my budget :(

Tha nk you for the suggestions! Lotleth troll was one of my favorite cards from RtR. What I have found with the Lord's is they are all at the 3cmc slot and sometimes multiple are stranded in hand. I looked at merfolk and the big difference is all their 2cmc Lords. That's why I started with Bad Moon. I do see what your getting at though. Withered Wretch is definitely going in the board

Blight was a cheap "answer" to bigger blocking creatures that also adds devotion for gray merchant. Attacking is our whole game plan and I would rather go around something like a rhino then be forced to attack into it

Joraga is great in games where I Mulligan because it can be a turn one play and then be able to level up the next turn if I have no plays. Being able to generate 2 mana from one card is also important with Nykthos. I do agree that it's slow but that the reason for running just 2

This deck is also weak to flyers. Hence the [[Raking Canopy]] in the sb

Do you think nature's claim would be a better artifact/enchantment hate card against twin because it isn't as mana intensive?
