Alternative to MTGO, Magic 2014 is a great, single-player game that teaches MTG very well; in addition to learning steps, phases, and resolutions, it offers creative challenges, lets you achieve and face against different decks, and eventually upgrade them so you understand why some cards are better than others.

this card is the blackest card to ever black

@Qolorful What other ways are there to get around exile? Plus I never thought of exile that way, I'm starting to respect it more than hate it now. And everyone else, you've been a great help for a fellow magic player! I'm looking forward for more comments too!

Is there any way to allow a creature to survive against mass reduced toughness and exile? I would prefer in G/W, but I'm curious to see if there's any answer at all. I would prefer if your answers didn't include Melira, Sylvok Outcast, counterspells, and flicker effects (unless they return at the end step, please include those), but I still would appreciate any answer. Thanks in advance for answering

Hey, welcome to MTG! It's always nice to see new players, how do you like it so far?

EDHREC is always a good website to help make a deck, even if the format isn't EDH. In this instance, I went to the tab under commander, then looked at each of the Atarka pages (because they are most likely to have dragon-like theme or some suggestions that are good for it's colors. Most of my suggestions would come from those two pages, but the highlights that I would put in are Savage Ventmaw, Dragonspeaker Shaman, Dragonlord's Servant; I would also put in something like Harmonize, Krosan Grip, Blossoming Defense, etc. just in case.

My second problem is the early game: always have cheap creatures. In my experience, a lot of Modern players will win with combat or having an overwhelming force to stalwart the game until they can win. I would suggest something like my favorite Modern card ever or Ohran Viper, they are cheap and can discourage an attack. This is probably the biggest problem, do some research into early game creatures, then add three or four of em.

Lastly, take out all the black. The amount of red in this deck demands it. If you're worried about the haste enabler of your Karrthus, Tyrant of Jund, consider Mass Hysteria, Fires of Yavimaya, or Dragon Tempest; if you want to keep the creature board wipe, consider Blasphemous Act, Fiery Confluence, or Savage Twister.

Hope this helps, I'm always here
