Stupid Modern bans —Feb. 24, 2013
Perhaps this deck is still viable after the banning of Bloodbraid Elf. I made a few changes, adding in Huntmaster of the Fells  Flip and Siege-Gang Commander. We shall see...

Sarkhan Vol gives my guys haste, I can steal a threat, and make Dragon tokens. With BA out, whoa... he rocks in this deck man, I'm telling you!
Goblin Guide makes sense ... except I'd forfeit ramp. If I had some, I might put two in.
Thought about adding 2x Parallel Lives for added tokens. What are your thoughts?
I could see Copperhorn Scout as a good add...
If I had Birthing Pod, it would require a huge shift. I could make it work, but the synergy I have now is good. Have you playtested it?

If you are going modern, Doubling Season over Parallel Lives just for the extra stuff. But PL does have fun factors.
Birthing pod as a 1 of in decks with steady mana curves works really well, especially with stuff like Vengevine where they will come surging back on just a single play. Your deck has a very steady mana curve.

Also, either main deck or sideboard, but Ancient Grudge is a beautiful card.

Holy crap! Would Doubling Season add counters to.my Planeswalkers if they get one normally?
I.could benefit from a BP...hmm.
Forgot about Ancient Grudge lol. I put it in Standard decks...
Thanks!

Doubling Season will only double the amount of counters a planeswalker comes into play with. Using the 'walker's + abilities will not add double counters, as technically, adding/subtracting counters is part of the cost, not the effect. That being said, Doubling Season kicks ass, and it's still worth it.
I was going to recommend Fresh Meat, but I see you've already got some in the SB.
And lastly, I've seen Shared Animosity used as an alternative to Beastmaster Ascension in some similar token decks. I prefer the Ascension, myself, but I thought I'd mention it anyhow. Just something to consider.

Ah... I'd be interested to see how a Doubling Season would fit in. Like to try it, though. Still a cool card.
PLEASE Day of Judgement all my tokens so I can drop Fresh Meat! Please?! Muahahaha! lol
Shared Animosity would be better if I was playing mono green and had just the Eldrazi or Wolf tokens. Still pretty sweet and good to note.
The Beastmaster Ascension can immediately have 7 counters if I swing with 7 creatures after I drop it. I've done that turn 5ish. And, they're expendable!
What do you think about the Vengevine?

The_Murderauder says... #8
I think it has the potential to be great, especially with the Bloodbraid Elf(s), but I also think it might be hard to get its graveyard trigger off in the late-game, where you might only have a single creature in hand at any given time.

aeonstoremyliver says... #9
True... I like that Vengevine has haste, which triggers Beastmaster Ascension. Hopefully, there will be no late game. If a match seems to go thay way, I can sideboard it out.

Why does it show illegal cards to the far right, above the sets I'm using? All of these cards were legal in Modern last I checked ...

The illegal card thing has been on the fritz, don't worry about it.

Ohhh... cool. I have a Legacy, U/B Underworld Megrim deck I'd like you to critique ...
February 23, 2012 5:30 p.m.

i might have to change Strength of the Tajuru with beast master may be what i need for a lil more speed,

Oh yeah. Sac lands give my Lotus Cobra landfall. If I have 2 out, it stacks ... So I drop an Arid Mesa, I get a Mana of any color. Sac it, a Mountain or Stomping Grounds ETB, get another Mana, then tap it. 3 Mana...
That's also why I was pondering Rampaging Baloths for Beast tokens. Also, Primeval Titan brings lands into play when he ETB or attacks. More landfall triggers.

I like it +1 maybe look into some old valakut ramp spells like Explore, Khalni Heart Expedition, Overgrown Battlement and Harrow.

aeonstoremyliver says... #18
I can see what you're saying and appreciate the feedback. Also, muchos gracias on the +1 :-)
The cards you mentioned would take away from the synergy and my first win-con, attacking with tokens and putting counters on Beastmaster Ascension. I have plenty of ramp with my Birds of Paradise, Lotus Cobra, sac lands, Bloodbraid Elf (who fetches CMC 3 or less things), and Eldrazi Spawn producing stuff.
After my primary win-con, the second is Eldrazi Monument, third is Kessig Wolf Run+Inkmoth Nexus.
Even mulliganing down to 5 cards, I can pull off a win turn 5 consistently.

DawnsRayofLight says... #19
Yeah I figured that was the case, thought I might mention them in case you decided you needed more ramp. May I ask, why the birds over the battlements? I understand a T1 vs T2 and any color vs green, but battlement can produce loads of mana for each you get out and can survive RDWs burn spells. It just sucks GSZ is banned in modern otherwise he would be like 100x's more amazing.

I really could use advice on my modern deck : deck:the-mcp-rg-tron if anyone gets the chance, I'm new to modern and need Sideboard help.

aeonstoremyliver says... #21
The Overgrown Battlement is too slow here, plus BoP can produce any color, great for.this deck. Lotus Cobra kills with the land fall...
I shall.scope your decks, sir. Thanks muchly!
April 6, 2012 7:18 p.m.
beat your deck 2 times with my equip deck:aggro-equip-deck-w-modern
nice, crazy and strong with Beastmaster Ascension but was to slow and didn't stand a chance, because my creature had trample :/
i like. nice deck with tokens

Your deck looks nice... but my deck is slow??? Dude, I usually swing turn 5 for 30+ damage...lol. I play it one of two ways: 1. Wait til I have 7 creatures, drop Beastmaster Ascension, and swing for the win 2. Drop Beastmaster Ascension early and charge it A.S.A.P. Eldrazi Monument is a huge bonus as is Sarkhan Vol.
If I'm suffering alot from Trample damage I'd side in Sylvok Lifestaff and Wurmcoil Engine. To destroy large armies of tokens or weenies, I'd side in Steel Hellkite. At one point I had Creeping Corrosion sideboarded, but I didn't play alot of Artifact decks, hence the Ancient Grudge.
So, if you won one game, it'd be interesting to see what G2 and G3 would be. seizan8, do you play on Cockatrice?

Probably played your deck wrong, but Goblins. Need I Say More? gave this guy a run for its money. If you could drop a couple lines about how to competitively play your deck, I could get a better view on how well our decks work against each other.

aeonstoremyliver says... #25
Sure. I updated the description, hope it helps a bit.
This is a ramp/aggro deck. It can win without Beastmaster Ascension, but the deck was made around the card. Against RDW, I would want to get BA out ASAP and charge it fully, which only takes a few turns with stuff like Vengevine and Bloodbraid Elf. Even swinging with my 0/1 tokens. G2 I'd side in Sylvok Lifestaff and the Wurmcoil. Probably Parallel Lives to speed up token production from Khalni Garden and my other token producers. A few points of life will buy me enough time to charge BA and swing for the win.
Apparently, I didn't make a few changes with the mana base here (did on Cockatrice ...). I need to take out a Dryad Arbor and Khalni Garden to add some different lands.
Your deck is nice, btw!

So far it looks like a fun and interesting Deck. or 2 would likely work better. Especially with Eldrazi Monument. Goblin Guide would give you another 1 drop that can hit first turn. Also you could consider Birthing Pod to have something to roar through the deck, especially with Vengevine. Just for fun, Copperhorn Scout and even Quest for Renewal would make for fun tap to untap chaos.
