Converting to Mardu —July 22, 2015

So after careful consideration, I've decided to switch Abzan/Junk to Mardu. I believe Red will give me a lot of the missing solutions to make this deck consistent. The combination of burn and my twisted health gain-loss will deplete my opponent's life more efficiently. It isn't a huge change to my previous decklist but it does give me more options now.

Wall of Shards, Alms Beast, Condemn, Oust, Dimir Machinations, and Diabolic Tutor are all good cards for this deck.

@9sharps

Thanks for the suggestions. I am liking Dimir Machinations over Diabolic Tutor. I will test it out.

Beacon of Immortality does nothing in the deck. Switch in Heroes' Reunion.

@pikachu21

Heroes' Reunion is an excellent suggestion. But why disagree with Beacon of Immortality? Is it because of its CMC? Or its effect? If the latter, I assure you it has synergy with Tainted Remedy. It is a player killer.

The Gatherer Card Ruling states:

"7/15/2007: Beacon of Immortality's effect counts as life gain (or life loss, if the life total was negative) for effects that trigger on or replace life gain (or life loss)."

How about Swords to Plowshares?

@cwissy1970

Swords to Plowshares would have been great in this deck except it's not Modern legal. At the moment, I am trying to keep this deck Modern only.

Been thinking about making a deck around the same idea with Abzan colors as well. Love the Alms Beast. Great find! +1
