But three rights do make a left.
I want to take this to GP Pittsburg, and for that I need your help! Any suggestions are more than welcome, and I am more than happy to receive criticism - thanks in advance!
Ok, so what we have here is a Death and Taxes adaptation for Modern, with some... interesting twists. It has a dominant Allies theme, and it has a couple weird cards. Mana Tithe is something I've had my eyes on for a while, and I'll find the right place for it if it kills me!
Force Spike
is just Daze with no downside, and Tithe is just that. Keeping people off a turn is very relevant in the Turn Four Format. The other weird card is
Sky Hussar
, which I believe is one of the goofiest, most fun cards to reveal at your upkeep! Every time I've Forecast, I've had my opponent pick it up and read it (unless they've seen me do it before, obviously)! But seriously, this guy nets me all kinds of card-advantage, letting me just go about my business. Many of my decks will abuse a card-draw engine, and this deck abuses this one.
So how about the core? Thalia, Guardian of Thraben is a mainstay in true Death and Taxes, Maverick, and Modern Hatebears. All the Allies fill obvious roles; some are just beaters, and others gain life. The ETB Slivers are very powerful in numbers, though very bad against Torpor Orb. However, it seems that card has drifted out of the meta, for the most part, replaced by better answers to Twin. Mentor of the Meek and Wall of Omens give me other draw-engines than
Sky Hussar
. Aether Vial is great from a card-economy standpoint, and letting me flash in Allies in my upkeep for Hussar is practically busted.
