Simian Spirit Guide —Feb. 15, 2021

Simian Spirit Guide has been banned from modern, meaning this deck is only a turn 2 win now :(

looks fun! i dont understand why Manamorphose is in it though,as its all red and phyrexian mana.with the deck being agro, id say swap it out,taking 2 dmg here and there from the phyrexian mana shouldnt hurt too much. :)

Manamorphose is for the prowess triggers. Try playtesting. Thanks, and please upvote!

If you don't care about price, you can add Lotus Petal, and Black Lotus

I'm not seeing how the deck can pull a turn 1 kill. Am I missing something?

You have to go second, to draw another card on your first turn. If that One Red for Two Red instant (I forgot the name) was Modern legal, you could win turn one going first.

Wait, I just realized, your starting hand has to be: Monastery Swiftspear , Simian Spirit Guide , Assault Strobe , Mountain , and 3 Mutagenic Growth s. Then Monastery Swiftspear becomes a 11/12 Double Strike. You can win going first or second.

how about something with Infect like Viridian Corrupter? no need for Double Strike when 10 damage is enough to kill them.

i meant Ogre Menial

ticked-off-squirrel. That is a really bad idea because then you split your win between infect damage and regular damage.

I would run bolt long before I run Titan's Strength. Sure it doesn't pump +4 for the silly combo kill but it is a solid roleplayer/wayclearer

a very specific turn 1 kill!

Don't worry, switch out Simian Spirit Guide for Desperate Ritual for a VERY consistent turn 3 or 4 win. Turn 2 win is:Monastery Swiftspear or Blistercoil Weird (Played on turn 1), Desperate Ritual, 2 Mountains, Mutagenic Growth, a pump spell like Titan's Strength or Brute Force, and Temur Battle Rage

Soul-Scar Mage would work here aswell.

After playtesting, I've determined this deck is very much a glass cannon. Might as well run Spark Elemental, then, since it has trample by default. What you call very consistent I would call quite difficult to have.

If you're playing in a meta that doesn't have many fast decks or control, this deck might be a turn 4 or 5 win, but in the fast and kill spell meta I play in, it just wouldn't have the consistency to win much.

Neat idea, it's just situational.

I tried to draw the correct starting hand and didnt draw it in the 10 times I tried.

There are actually many possibilities. I played against scapeshift deck 4 times and won every game. Against storm, it wins about half. It is really consistent. You don't have to get the exact hand I gave out.

I second what LeaPlath said.

Tainted Strike would be a turn-1 kill as well

I just played and got a turn 2 win. I really like it and think the average win is around turn 2 not 3 or 4.

I recommend playing Noxious Revival instead of Apostle's Blessing

It would allow you to play more spells in one turn
