Phule451 on Tergrid's Terrible Thievery

It’s a bit pricey, but Sword of Feast and Famine would serve you well here. Archfiend of Depravity would also help you take a bunch of your opponents’ creatures. Another creature that’d be very helpers is Rankle, Master of Pranks . Rotting Rats is a cheap easy way to get everyone to discard, another great card for you here would be Shatter Assumptions , though a bit situational. And while heavy on mana, Archon of Cruelty is everything you want. Cabal Stronghold and Bubbling Muck can help you get there. Capital Punishment would be worth considering as would be Curse of the Cabal wins no matter how anyone votes. Virtus's Maneuver will not only help get you opponent’ creatures, but bring back key pieces. Hope at least some of that helps…

Hey, good start on a budget, nice Vampiric Tutor :)

Four budget staples to consider adding:

• Sol Ring
• Arcane Signet
• Command Tower
• Exotic Orchard

These four cards could replace Forsaken Sanctuary , Stone Quarry , Armillary Sphere , Shatter Assumptions .

this is a lot of cards, and more are sure to come out that I want to include. I'm considering making a modern cube in addition to my legacy cube, or maybe expanding the cube altogether. I really don't want to go to 720, and honestly I would prefer 360 with a regular rotation of cards, but I don't play the cube often enough to justify that so for now it sticks to 720.

With the release of modern horizons there are some good cards in black to look at

Yawgmoth, Thran Physician / Graveshifter / Shatter Assumptions

I think a lot of people were expecting Modern Horizons to revolutionize the format, which I think was a silly assumption. Wizards is pretty happy with Modern as the turn-four format, so there was no reason to expect anything gamebreaking.

What we did get, however, was a whole bunch of tech for budget Modern decks and some tribal strategies. Cloudshredder Sliver is pretty fantastic, and might push Slivers up the competitive ladder.

Wall of Blossoms is a solid card that will see play, just as Wall of Omens does.

Scale Up is a fantastic card for infect.

Fact or Fiction is a pretty nifty card that will be enjoyed by combo players.

Flusterstorm and the aptly named Weather the Storm will be great sideboard tech against storm.

Cards like Dead of Winter and Ingenious Infiltrator will help snow and ninja tribal be more viable.

Giver of Runes is pretty playable.

A couple of the "Force of" cards are quite nice for Modern.

Shatter Assumptions is solid anti-Tron tech.

Unsettled Mariner is pretty cool.

I am sure there are plenty of playable cards I missed, and many of the non-optimized cards will still find their home in more budget decks. Overall, there's whole lot more Modern tech than we would expect in a Standard set. The fact that there is also great Commander tech shouldn't be an issue; I personally think it is great that there's a whole lot of exciting tech for several different formats.
