Funky Recurring Aggro Deck Project, Need Some Random Ideas!

Modern forum

Posted on Sept. 17, 2014, 5:06 p.m. by DMR

I'm looking to build a fairly competitive modern deck using aggro cards that can return to the battlefield to keep up the pressure, like Bloodsoaked Champion , Bloodghast , maybe Gravecrawler . I'd probably put in a playset of Dark Confidant and a couple Liliana of the Veil 's as well, if needed, provided that they aren't too slow. Also, some hand disruption is also nice. However, to compliment this aggressive suite of recurring creatures, I'm looking for some cards that can combo (not necessarily infinite, just great synergy) through sacrifice or discard effects to get the best value out of my creatures. I'm open to any color splashes, and I'm really just trying to brew a decent deck. A finisher of some kind is always nice, but right now I'm blanking, so I'll extend this idea to everyone else as well!

I just checked it out, is an Aristocrats style shell the way to go with this? I'm just looking into everything I can, there's plenty of routes I could go. For example, if I wanted to, I could try to go a combo route with Blasting Station . I wouldn't mind having aggro and combo, so I have a back up plan either way. Any other ideas?

My only problem with Falkenrath Aristocrat is Path to Exile .

Fauna Shaman and Vengevine is a fun combo, but ultimately too slow.Rancor is an idea, fun stuff.Myr Servitor could lead to some crazy combos, that could be a fun brew!

B/R/G is probably a good idea for this deck.

Throw in AEther Vial , 1xFlayer of the Hatebound , 1xOgre Battledriver and 1xChampion of Lambholt to get more out of Fauna Shaman and the recursion alongside Faithless Looting + similar effects.

Demigod of Revenge seems pretty sweet. Lotleth Troll too. If you run white, Lingering Souls .

Are you building Dredgevine? It doesn't seem as potent without Deathrite Shaman , but there are many synergies with it still.
