Modern Tournament- Help me decide which deck to run!

Modern forum

Okay, can't decide which deck to run between these two:

Mono-Green Stompy Don't Need No Stinkin' Goyfs (FNM 4-0) or Mono-Blue Combo Master of Myojin

The Green deck will win games for sure but the Blue deck is a blast when you pull the combo off and draw/cast half of your deck.

My local scene has lot's of Pod, Splinter, Death & Taxes and Infect decks - all of which will be at tomorrows tournament.

Any and all advice greatly appreciated!!

Im not great at modern but the green stompy does look better, but if mono blue is more fun go ahead and do what you like better especially if its just a local fnm.

Your enjoyment matters most.

Mono green stompy is an alright tier 2(almost) deck, definitely your best bet. The deck has put up results in the past. You probably want to pick up more treetop villages though

The Omniscience deck for sure. It is so awesome! I love it! I +1ed (wow that's not a word) it! It's also more complex to play and more fun. When you play the green one your opponents will know what happens. With the blue one everything goes. I would however put a few Consecrated Sphinx in the sideboard like Travis Woo did, so you'll have quicker threats after boarding.

sadiuh it's not a local FNM, it's a proper Modern Tourney (I live in the Southern Hemisphere) Jonathannoob Exactly right, enjoyment is quite often equated with winning but I'm mainly out to socialise and have fun with my homies derKochXXL Great call on the Consecrated Sphinx I've replaced the 2x Negate with 2x Prognostic Sphinx which should prove to be an adequate (if underpowered) replacement as my pair of Consecrated Sphinxes were traded for 2x Mox Opal many moons ago. Many Thanks for all the comments everybody- I've decided to run the Omni-Devotion Deck so wish me luck y'all (there is also a prize for "Most Original Deck" ;) )

Good luck man, I'm doing FNM tonight myself with my Chandra deck.

Went well in the tournament 2-2 which was a better result than I expected. The two losses were down to being mana-screwed (easy with only 12 Islands) and been toasted by Burn- which cost me the games. Having said that, for those of you who like onlookers applauding your victory- this deck is for you :)
