Breakaway on Budget Modular

1 year ago

As far as budget recommendations go: Dispatch is cheap and effective removal. Blacksmith's Skill is an amazing way to win in combat or blank a removal spell. Blinkmoth Nexus can add some resilience and isn't that expensive. Mirrorweave is so much fun. it can either pump your team by copying your opponent's biggest creature, make your team fly if you target Arcbound Stinger, shrink your opponent's board if you target one of your X/1 creatures or even act as a one-sided board wipe if you target one of your 0/0 modular creatures.

I've had some fun playtesting this deck. I added Gingerbrute and two cards that help ensure we trigger modular more regularly: 1. Angelic Purge to wipe away anything, and 2. Nature's Claim for a bit of life gain for low investment.

I also toyed with Carapace Forger and Arcbound Stinger over the vanilla 2cmc white modular creature to balance the curve. Travel Preparations is a wonderful inclusion with flashback, too!

I can see this moving towards a Construct tribal. Arcbound Stinger , Steel Overseer , and Hangarback Walker are modestly priced. Metallic Mimic and Walking Ballista aren’t quite cheap but can be worked into.

just for easy viewing, these are all the common modular creatures. Arcbound Bruiser Arcbound Hybrid Arcbound Stinger Arcbound Worker Arcbound Wanderer I don't think the wanderer is a good fit in this deck though

I was wondering if there was a reason you didn't add the artifact creatures with the modular keyword ability? Arcbound Stinger would arrive with 2 +1/+1 counters on it (the 1 doubled) then if it dies you can move the 2 +1/+1 counters again and double those. Seems really good. There are only 4 arcbound creatures that fit for this deck, but it seems like a nice addition.

Be mindful that the Arcbound Stinger and Arcbound Worker can only move their counters onto another Artifact Creature. >15% of the deck steals creatures, even though you have a ton of sac outlets. Is the plan to recur your own creatures for value, or steal others?

@Flooremoji: Thank you for the upvote. Arcbound Ravager and Steel Overseer are perfect and I know them...but right now I can't afford to buy them...as you correctly recognized this is a budget deck... Maybe one day I will get some copies of them :) Right now I will put in Tempered Steel and change some of the none artifact creatures. What do you think about Ethersworn Canonist , Arcbound Worker and Arcbound Stinger ?

Might want to also consider Arcbound Stinger and Xantid Swarm for your flying insect deck. I have a similar deck, but it's more based on pumping bees with elves. Feel free to check it out here: Elvish Beekeeper. I'd love to read your comments and suggestions.
