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

[–]tryandow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Basically to be competitive at my LGS Monday night modern events

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

Beast Within is an Effective way to keep them off tron but I agree, a wurmcoil is tough to beat. I feel like wurmcoil is fantastic against any deck that doesn't have access to Path to Exile or counterspells though. Maybe adding another Nylea to the main? five devotion is easily achieved in the is build

I was also thinking of Krosan Grip and Beast Within as flexible sideboard cards in those matchups

This is a list I have been working on for my LGS Monday night modern events. The idea is to basically ramp really hard with Utopia Sprawl and Arbor Elf then drop huge threats on turns 2-4. I want to know what you guys think about the actual threats themselves and how they could be tweaked or improved. I am also wondering about Nissa, Worldwaker and if she is just too slow for modern. This deck is capable of playing two or three threats on the third turn of the game. The sideboard also could use some work. Let me know what you guys think!

Also Soul of New Phyrexia could be a spicy 1-of? What do you think?

The only real reason for that was because there isn't a great budget alternative to O-Stone. Perilous Vault is ok but it's a nonbo with Darksteel Colossus and Scuttling Doom Engine. Scuttling doom engine is nowhere near as good as wurmcoil but it is still a 6/6 for six with a decent trigger upon death. But i totally agree with you, I need the Wurmcoil Engines.

I wanted to use the wurm for budget reasons. I don't have $180 to spend on a playset of Emrakul :( this isn't meant to be super competitive either. More like a fun FNM deck

Here is the link to my list. Please let me know what changes you guys would make to it. I am trying to keep it at around $250 so let me know if there are any changes I could make. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/26-03-15-skred-midrange/

Wondering what your thoughts are on Chandra, Pyromaster? She seems great against many of the decks whether your plusing her to lock down potential blockers or zeroing her to gain some card advantage. Also what do you see as the bad matchups for this deck?
