This is my first (well, second) attempt at a modern deck. I've challenged myself to make a balanced, capable, and viable Sultai deck. The first version was a Sultai build originating from Jund. It ended up being too sporadic and confused, so I elected to remove the hand disruption in place of more counter magic. The goal is to establish a board state, use the yard (it fills up quite fast), gain an advantage in resources, and slow down their plays--all while turning creatures sideways. This version is pretty balanced midrange deck that has all the answers while being very difficult to sideboard against, according to opponents.
