First Modern 8 Man
bear-h8ter, 11 years ago
Match 1 was against Tarmo-Twin, won game 1 with a picture-perfect turn 3 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, lost games 2 and 3 due to bad judgement. I had Omniscience on hideaway with a Cruel Ultimatum and Emrakul, the Aeons Torn in hand, and didn't play the Omniscience because I anticipated a Remand that wasn't there. Match 2 was against Scapeshift-Combo, won game 1 with a turn 4 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, game 2 Emrakul came out again on turn 3. Match 3 was against WR Kikki-Jikki combo, Won game 1 by cheating out Griselbrand on turn 4 using Shadowborn Apostles ability, then drew until I hit a Surgical Extraction, removed the rest of the Apostles, then played Omniscience with Shelldock Isle and cast Emrakul, the Aeons Torn for the win. Lost games 2 and 3 to an on curve Blood Moon both games.

Had to remove 3x Deathrite Shaman to keep modern legal. Replaced with 3x Nezumi Shortfang Flip.
With the lack of Deathrite Shamen, the Kiora's Follower proved hard to justify as the only green-costing mana. Stripping it out allows the addition of Hedron Crab for more early blocking action (and simplifies the land situation by removing the need for the splash of green - goodbye Hinterland Harbor and Woodland Cemetery).
The Springleaf Drum was in there for a method of tapping Siren of the Silent Song without exposing the siren to blockers (as well as providing another method of accessing green mana).
Without the requirement for green mana, I've replaced it for the moment with Haunting Echoes. This might prove too expensive, mana-wise, but it looks as though it should work for the deck. I may need to look at the mana-curve/base, though. As a partial mitigation for this, replaced 2x Islands and Swamps with 4x Dimir Aqueduct. We'll see how it goes.
Other things to think about: the addition of Sword of Body and Mind? useful if I had any unblockable creatures, or enchantments. I guess including Aqueous Form would do? But what cards to remove? Maybe remove Augur of Skulls and Nezumi Shortfang Flip, removing the card discard apprach? Is it actually an improvement?
And what about Magewright's Stone? It would accelerate the deck when Phenax, God of Deception comes out. On the other hand, it's probably a case of "win more"...
..and given that Haunting Echoes exiles the graveyard... should it even be in a deck that relies on Consuming Aberration? Maybe I should swap it out for Bitter Ordeal? ...except there is debate over how Bitter Ordeal interacts with milling. Maybe just swap them out for Aqueous Form? Gah, magic is complicated.

Replaced Witchstalker with Voice of Resurgence .
The addition of Evolution Charm has made the deck more resilient towards flyers, and adds a new combat trick.
Given the addition of Voice, I'm thinking of adding Parallel Lives to the deck.
Also, the mana base seems quite fragile, particularly if the opponent decides to remove my Birds of Paradise early; takes a few more turns to stabilise. Might think of adding in one Elvish Mystic and one Avacyn's Pilgrim.
The deck is coming together nicely!

I messed around at free casual night and decided to change a lot. Jace, Memory Adept is gone because he really didn't fit the control theme. I added Devour Flesh because it targets the player instead of creature. A few other changes to the sideboard and we're almost ready for FNM.
Some Minor Fixes

I was unaware of the ban on Sylvan Primordial, so I have removed it from my decklist. I received a suggestion that I get myself an Elvish Piper, so I've added that in. **Changes** **Removed**: 1x Sylvan Primordial **Added**: 1x Elvish Piper
Changing the decklist
Eternalphoenix, 11 years ago
I made up my mind and brought in some changes, i just felt a little bit bored looking at the same cards all the time :-P **Mox Opal**: Even though i havent acquired a full set yet, i implement them here so everyone playtesting can see the full potential **Boros Charm**: Yet another "wtf are you doing?!"-card, but more and more people i play against came up with artifact-hate-heavy-sideboards lately. The amazing thing about this is its versatility. 1) it can be the almighty rescue card against artifact wipes 2) since they got the spot of "fling" i still have the possability to give a creature double strike which can also end the game a turn faster than usual 3) dealing 4 damage to an opponent, well could be worse, i rather like to burn opponents creatures but nevertheless its nice to have.

Sideboarded Sphere of Safety for if you get overrun with creatures, could prove to be very limiting for your opponent given there's already 16 enchantments plus a few enchantment creatures in the deck

Added 2 Day of Judgment for cheap board wipe. Took out Erebos, God of the Dead and Divinity of Pride. May add them to my maybe board.

Due to the modern restriciton most decks already figured out don't work that good. Two black control decks won. This one came third.
This deck is weak against weenie decks, with some kind of pump spell for all weenie's. Electrickery is good against this. I didn't hit the three damage devided along al creatures. Actually this lost pretty hard against it. But the pump spell used was uncommon so illegal (my loss turned into a win).
The accelration Simian Spirit Guide didn't do that much, most of the time. Only to recieve a ligthning bolt, or another removal spell. on the creature. Better to look for good alternatives in dealing with more versatile situations. Shielding Plax. Alternative is my own pump spells, or enchantments with flash to avoid bolts, but that doesn't work vs destroy target creatures.
I know you can't have it al. But some card drawing like the above card might be nice as well.
Maybe try a green subtheme to run the creature. Valeron Outlander and also sideboard Guardian of the Guildpact. Problem is the last one won't accept al my own aura's.
