I figured that I was going to try and wade the waters in this format that is known as modern. Being pretty much a strickly EDH player, this should be a fun experience lol.

I don't plan on taking the regular approach I seem to see people taking, which is just copying a deck thats good right now. I love wither and I love Shadowmoor so, why not a wither modern deck??

Synergy

• Quillspike + Devoted Druid

• Blowfly Infestation + Blowfly Infestation

• Kulrath Knight + Everlasting Torment + Melira, Sylvok Outcast

• Necroskitter + Melira, Sylvok Outcast + Black Sun's Zenith
