Recently Got Back Into Modern
Modern Deck Help forum
Posted on Oct. 5, 2018, 6:43 p.m. by TUMTUM
Hello Everyone! I recently just got back into modern and I would love to make a new deck. I am looking for around a deck with a price around 200-350$. I have been looking at Black-White control (control being the archetype I play most). So I can't wait to get back into modern! Thank you for your help and your time!
DragonKing90 I have alot of the pieces that lower the list a considerable amount (around 120$), I think a good win con would be gideon or Thought-knot seer.

$120*. Thought-Knot Seer isn't really a win con imo. doesn't really pack a big enough punch to close out a game. which gideon were you thinking of?

The seer is really good and I'd recommend putting it in the deck but generally with a control finisher it should be able to win the game in 3 swings from full life. If your gonna go black white a tempo set up might be slightly better.

Eldrazi and taxes sounds right up your alley. Otherwise, Die Pigs ($350 budget midrange) is a deck list that I made. It's rw rather than bw, but it's well positioned in this meta, with the exception of control decks. But if it meta shifts it could become bad.

I would suggest to load up on planewalkers and hope to grind out opponents like that. I will caution you that your matchup vs combo will be abysmal.

Hmmm... B/W control...
I'll rattle off the general
"those cards"
The good thing with 2 color is obviously you don't need fetches.
And right now, mana is so Abundant and it's a great time to buy back in.
Land
Spot Removal
Discard, if you want it
Value/Planeswalkers
Ummmm...
Wrath effects
Creatures
I'm not the best resource but I know
Is good.
Have fun!

Turbofog with things like Batwing Brume and Phyrexian Arena could be oppressive. And should be able to fit that budget easily enough even if buying 2-4 Leyline of Sanctitys

If you like combo storm can be fully built in that range, but if your heart is set on bw, then eldrazi and taxes is a really good deck around maybe just over that price.

Icbrgr, Turbofog is not great w/ Phyrexian Arena, it will eventually kill you unless you have lifegain. I suppose it is not to far fetched. Most turbofog decks use Howling Mine and Temple Bell, but I guess it wouldn't that big of a leap.

Turbo Fog is just better U/W
But I never even Thought of using the Arena, cool idea

Until recently, Martyr Proc was cheap.
But after the recent wins, I think
Serra Ascendant went way up in price.
But the deck works in Mono White and black splashes for
Orzhov Charm and sideboard
Discard spells

BrandonJamesCAC Flooremoji Will361405 Icbrgr shadow63 Arvail DragonKing90 Thank you all so much for your help! This is so appreciated. I think I will try to build a slower tempo, definitely a plus for me and the competitiveness of the deck. I'm very glad land is cheaper :D. I think Gideon, Ally of Zendikar would be a good planeswalker to use. I think I am going to have to hold off on the Last Hope Liliana strictly because of the price, but It will be a future goal to add her to the deck. ToolmasterOfBrainerd Eldrazi and Taxes seems like a good idea, but I do like the midrange deck you recommended to me I will definetly consider some of the parts of that deck. Thank you all so much for the help and have a great rest of your day!

I've actually messed around with bw midrange some (BW Midrange). My version my super budget but it would he easily upgraded. I think it serves as a decent starting point
I also second the storm recommendation X) I hated the deck until I picked it up myself, it's extremely complex and rewards skill, it's a blast to pilot!!!

its probably gonna be difficult making BW control for less than $350. lands and Thoughtseize add up quick. what do you want your win-con to be?
