Modern Mono Green help versus Storm

Deck Help forum

Posted on April 20, 2014, 3:57 p.m. by theinfernumflame

I'm running a mono-green Eldrazi ramp deck in modern. It's very good in most matchups, and it can drop Emrakul, the Aeons Torn on turn 4. However, against a deck like Storm, that probably won't be fast enough. I could just say Storm is the one unwinnable matchup, but it's a common enough deck (especially online) that I don't want that to be an automatic loss. So, what can I do with the sideboard to slow down or stop Storm (preferably without having to splash another color)? If I have to, I'll splash white for Ethersworn Canonist , but I'd rather not do that if I can help it.

As a storm player here's some things I generally have to straight up scoop to:

Trinisphere Chalice of the Void Thorn of Amethyst

Also will significantly slow me down or cripple me entirely:

Scavenging Ooze Dragon's Claw Witchbane Orb (if they see this theyll board in Empty the Warrens so be careful game 3.

Thanks for the replies. That'll help a lot.

Another good card against storm is Grafdigger's Cage and Tormod's Crypt

Grafdiggers is prefered, because it's a permanent effect if it's on the field. Tormods you just exile their stuff.

Tormods also works against Tarmogoyf

The best part of those cards, too, is being able to drop them turn 1 (when I'm probably not doing anything else).
