Hey Everyone,
I think the current metta makes a creature directed prison deck very viable. With all the linear eldrazi creature decks, this deck should be awesome. It's also the most basic of the prison enchantment builds. I thought of this a couple of days ago but I've seen many similar decks in modern in the tourney room etc.-Mad
How to play the deck:
vs. EldraziYou shouldn't keep any hand against eldrazi that doesn't have an early game way to deal with their creatures. 2/11/2016 Ironside's and I had some matches, and it is true that this deck shut's down colorless Eldrazzi, and probably will shut down most of the other colorless aggro ones. I stuck to the rule of mulliganing to an early game answer to aggro, and it worked pretty well.
Proposed changes:
I may go with
Guard Duty
instead of Journey to Nowhere. I like the one drop feel, I don't like the creatures still on the board, and I don't like the interactions with Eidalon of the Great Revel. It may be worth it because prison decks want to be able to stop their opponent as soon as possible. I'll test it on modo when I get a chance and write here what my experience was. 2/11/2016 I tested
Guard Duty
and it is amazing in the deck! Thanks Nef for the suggestion. It's going in :-)
Porphyry Nodes
may be another thing worth exploring. I would cut Wrath of God, Sigil of the Empty Throne, and Luminarch Ascension for some other win cons, maybe Karma and
Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth
, just me thinking off the top of my head.
So far, Runed Halo and
Nevermore
have been doing pretty well in this meta. I did cut NM down to 3, since it seems like it's something you don't always want.
