After playing this deck at my local FNM for the past few months I have decided that this deck is not competitive enough for consistent wins. Therefore, I have decided to take it apart
Recently my playgroup started playing modern again and we all started looking for decks to make. So I started scouring the internet for good Mardu decks, since it's my favorite color combination, and was very sad to see that there are not very many good Mardu decks in modern. So I took it upon myself to build the best Mardu deck I could, and now here we are.
Objective:
The objective of this deck is to control the board by removing any threats your opponents have and taking advantage of those control spells to make tokens and turn them sideways.
Control:
The control package is what you would expect from the Mardu wedge in modern, you have your Path to Exile, Lightning Bolt, and Fatal Push. I am also running a playset of Lightning Helix to help us regain some life because chances are we are going to lose a bit of life.
Tokens:
Our main win condition is turning a bunch of tokens sideways. Our main cards for this are Young Pyromancer and Monastery Mentor. Since they both take advantage of us constantly casting removal spells of some kind by giving us a token each time we cast one. We are also running a few Lingering Souls just for some extra token spawning force and it also triggers our token producers.
Synergy:
The deck's primary synergy is, as I've stated earlier, to use our mentors and pyromancers in conjunction with our control spells to remove threats from the board while also filling the board with our tokens. We are also running a Vault of the Archangel to help gain us some life back or maybe even get through a wall of big blockers for the last bit of damage. Also running Westvale Abbey
because Ormendahl, Profane Prince
is fun, and it makes tokens.
Thank you for taking the time to read through my list and description! Any feedback or suggestions you may have are 100% welcome as well as ideas for the sideboard since I haven't made that yet as I've had too many ideas for it.
