Clash of Occupations! Modern deck building challenge.

Challenges and Articles forum

Posted on Dec. 6, 2014, 12:41 p.m. by UnknownDemon

Once again its time to Rise to the Challenge! This time our theme is creature subtypes.

  1. Choose 1 of the following subtypes: Assassin, Warrior, Shaman, Cleric, Wizard, Knight, Archer, Soldier, Artificer, Rogue, Berserker, Scout, Druid, Samurai, Monk, Advisor, Barbarian or Spellshaper.

  2. Make a 60-card Modern legal deck. All creatures in that deck must have the chosen subtype or it must be mentioned somewhere in its rule text. For example your Shaman deck can include Hearthcage Giant because it summons elemental shamans and your wizard deck can include Benthicore because it summons merfolk wizards.

  3. Changelings are banned (but Mistform Ultimus isnt).

  4. Each subtype can only be chosen once so if someone already posted his/her soldier deck you cant post your own.

  5. Only 1 deck per user.

  6. When 12 decks are posted the tourney shall begin.

  7. Good luck.

Here is the Druid deck I made pretty quickly. It is just a modified version of Modern Combo Elves. I'll make a sideboard if necessary and can help play matches if necessary.

I would also like to point out that you can technically build a deck with no creatures, and it would still be legal since there are no creatures without the chosen type. Should this be allowed?

I'll take Warriors.

In hindsight, cleric would have been the best, but I'll work with this.
