Standard Deck Help forum

Posted on Jan. 16, 2017, 12:12 a.m. by JerryW72

So I've created a deck Disappearing Torrential Gearhulk. My problem is though, after playing with it a few times, I'm getting a lot of white mana, but very few white cards to actually use.

My question is should I switch over to just red/blue. Are there better red and blue cards I should be playing instead of my white cards? or are there better white cards that I should be utilizing?

This deck has treated me fairly well so far. I've just tried in a couple times on Untap also and I've gone 2 wins 1 lose so far. So It's doing nice, but I want to know if I can make it even better.

Any help to make this deck more competitive then it already is would be much appreciated. Just trying to get some new ideas.

Is there a reason you play felidar guardian but not Saheeli Rai for the infinite combo?

I use Felidar Guardian so I can use Torrential Gearhulk's ETB a second time.

Honestly, playing the Felidar + Saheeli infinite combo is kind of morality issue for me. I want to play it, but I also feel like I'd rather win from a deck without an infinite combo like that. I'm not saying that I have a problem with anyone that uses the infinite combo and I know that it's a legal combo. It's not that. I just would like to not use it myself. That might be stupid, but for now I'd like to stay away from it. I do like her -1 though!

Thats fine and I can respect that if you want that effect though it would probably be better to take out the guardian and just use saheeli's -2 for the same effect

Why is a standard deck in modern deck help?

Sorry Scouty, just realized that. How would I go about getting it moved?

So I revamped the deck some. Added in some new cards from Aether Revolt. Moved some cards around and reorganized. Think I like this better then it was before. Still debating getting rid of white in this deck, but I like Dovin Baan, Felidar Guardian, and Skywhaler's Shot. Are there better white cards that I should be utilizing in standard?
