Why for you skipped Genju of the Spires?

You don't have to add all of these, but I would consider looking into each one. Trace of Abundance Throes of Chaos Nissa, Who Shakes the World Moraug, Fury of Akoum Journey of Discovery Ghirapur Orrery Explore Ashaya, Soul of the Wild Genju of the Cedars Genju of the Fields Genju of the Spires Bear Umbra Living Terrain Consecrate Land Destiny Spinner Footfall Crater Nessian Wanderer Nissa's Zendikon Spreading Algae Guardian Zendikon

If you made a Commander/EDH version I would add Burgeoning

Before I begin, I'd like to preface this with the fact that I want this to work, you have no idea.

1.) How do you intend to fish out Genju of the Spires ? It seems fairly important for the deck to run, but I worry it will get flooded out of the odds by the 56 Mountains.

2.) How do you cast things when there's little/no land on your side of the field? I think a deck like this would appreciate some kind of ramp, especially since Fling is going to get hella pricey after the first one or two castings.

Recommendations:

What others already said:

• Furnace Celebration

• Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle

Mana ramp:

• Ruby Medallion

• Fire Diamond

• Jaya Ballard ; doubles as draw power.

• Chandra, Torch of Defiance ; also doubles as an additional source of damage.

• Pyromancer's Goggles ; more for spell duplication, but still. Why wouldn't anyone want to duplicate Fling here?

• Neheb, the Eternal ; almost necessary with how much Fling will cost down the road. You'll get at least 4-6 mana in the post-combat main phase for the Fling you casted earlier.

Misc. Utility:

• Crucible of Worlds ; it would be good to have at least a second form of land recursion. It's one the best pieces you can hope for outside of Green.

• Blasphemous Act , Chain Reaction , Starstorm , and the like; if you try to go against creatures, you're gonna have a bad time (I would know from attempting Grixis burn in EDH...)

• Crawlspace ; see above.

• Repercussion ; another form of creature suppression in its own way.

• Fork , Reverberate , Increasing Vengeance , Reiterate ; to get the extra mileage from Fling.

• Fire Servant ; even more Fling mileage; doesn't double damage dealt to you.

. . .

That's all that comes to mind off the top of my head. I'll be interested in seeing if/how this deck progresses.

Temur Battle Rage and Genju of the Spires Hi all, I'm building a modern red deck around Genju of the Spires and Temur Battle Rage, I am including a lot of 4 Power cards for ferocious and open to splashing other colors such as green for Rhonas the Indomitable. I feel this combo could be very powerful in the right shell such as Kiln Fiend or with Vexing Devil because it is 12 power in a burn deck, and since Genju returns to your hand, it is a persistent threat. What cards would you suggest?

Personally, I'd run Zombie Infestation as extra one with nothing copies. If its worth discarding your hand, its worth running infestation.

Dropping the CMC will do a hell of a lot. Gonti's Machinations in particular is efficient damage that can sit on the field, and Sinister Concoction is also cute, which combined with Seal of Fire points to an 'enchantments matter' list.

Some Genju of the Fens/Genju of the Spires might work, as might Demonic Vigor/Necromancer's Magemark. But thats not where I'm going.

B/G Strength from the Fallen/Wreath of Geists with Stitcher's Supplier.

Commune with the Gods/Kruphix's Insight, Nighthowler/Renowned Weaver, Boneyard Wurm etc. This also gives access to Seal of Primordium in the sideboard.

I envisage it looking something like this- One Challenge.

Mono black deckbuilder's toolbox is my big list of cards which I tend to brew from. feel free to take a look, see if it sparks anything.

zAzen7977:

Thank you.

Polupus:

I would have to respectfully decline it, as it negates Bitterblossom & Genju of the Spires ability to turn the deck aggressive. It is still a solid card, though. Thank you for the suggestion.

What do you think about something like Night of Souls' Betrayal to instantly kill the Genju of the Spires?

Not Your Typical Land Control; FirePox!

The deck uses a Blood Moon & Genju of the Spires combo, for reoccurring land-destruction. The deck also uses Smallpox & Fulminator Mage, with Boom.

Crucible of Worlds and Ghost Quarter, for even more consistency.
