Brewing: Jeskai Saheeli Blink Combo
Modern Deck Help forum

Hey everyone! I'm currently working on a new brew for modern. In standard I am palying Jeskai Copycat, and I absolutely love the deck and would love to be able to play it in modern. I have a few different options: I could go hard jeskai control, but that just seems like a weaker version of draw-go jeskai control. What seems best to me is going a more midrange plan with a combo. I've gone for a value-oriented blink deck, using Felidar Guardian and other blinkers to create value. The mana base is rough and will eventually be upgraded, but for now I'm using what I have and though less than optimal I think it will work. What I need help with is the sideboard, and tweaking the mainboard as its early testing right now. Keep in mind I am working on a budget, lets try to keep card suggestions to under 5 dollars per card please :) Thanks in advance everyone!

jparker-sartori21 I don't think of the deck as a solely dedicated combo deck. I think of it as more of a midrange deck with a combo focus. If it was straight combo I wouldn't be messing with stuff like Blade Splicer and Akroma and Reflector Mage. Not saying your opinion is in any way wrong, I just don't necessarily agree.

I like the deck but with the current modern meta combo needs to be in a control shell or midrange shell (ex:Death and Soul Sisters). A combo deck with the sole focus of combo needs to be faster than that with more card draw. That deck is much more like a bad jeskai control deck and would be improved by removing the combo and adding some stronger control cards like Snapcaster Mage and Supreme Verdict.
