Main Modern Deck

While the original versions were a cross between Charles and Kyle's

Latest Reference - SCG Modern Open 10/22-23/16 - Michael Janny

This fourth version has strayed from those, to become more of my own entity. As with change in the meta, this version tries to adapt to punish decks that rely upon graveyard strategies like Delver, Control, Dredge, Nahari, etc.

Versions #1, #2, #3 can be found by clicking on the respective links.

With the current meta the deck needs to draw super consistent, so it's time for a 3rd Path to Exile main along with the 4th Reckless Bushwhacker.

Additionally while Tarmogoyf is a fantastic card, I found through extensive play testing, that it was not really growing to it's full potential here and is actually too slow. See version #3 for the full reason why I dropped it.

With everyone packing for Dredge, Anger of the Gods becomes a real thing out of the SB. So ALMOST any deck that runs red will have one so it's time to bring back an the Dromoka's Command which will also protect against Conflagrate and other mass removal that deals damage.
