Tidehollow Sculler

Artifact Creature — Zombie

When this enters the battlefield, target opponent reveals their hand and you choose a nonland card from it. Exile that card.

When this leaves the battlefield, return the exiled card to its owner's hand.

Since you have some of that legendary creature subtheme going here, I would suggest Jirina, Dauntless General for the deck as it enters to nuke a grave, but can be sacrificed to protect other humans, namely Squall. This is really good if you can get Squall through to hit OP as it can be a recursive protection card.

If you like the idea Jirina, but find the human only syergy lacking, then I would suggest Selfless Savior or Selfless Spirit as good alternate options. The Spirit is great for its evasive qualities and can be a decent attacker since if it attacks alone with Squall on board, it can pressure 4 in air easily.

If you want another great legend that pairs with the legend human theme, then I suggest Adeline, Resplendent Cathar as it creates human tokens and is an amazing curve into squall for attacking by itself for the doublestrike bonus (attack trigger token will not stop the doublestrike trigger).

Guide of Souls Would be a great 1 drop for your deck as it can help give Squall flying if you have enough energy built up and it can build up energy by itself at a good enough rate you don't need other energy based cards to run. This would also pair very well with the Adeline if you chose to include.

Some useful disruption I have had succes with (when in standard) is Momentum Breaker. This card is useful for being nontraget removal to deal with ward/hexproof but also great because it make OP discard if no threat on board so you can even pressure hand with it. This is great for deck as you can sacrifice for small life to get in grave to recur and pressure OP board/hand more.

A side optin you can run over the Tidehollow Sculler would be Deep-Cavern Bat as it is an evasive threat that does the same thing roughly, but is easier on the mana types and has lifelink. If you want a human you could use Kitesail Freebooter and would only be good for trying to syergise with Kudro you currently have in deck.

Cards I am not caring fo rtoo much in your list would be Judge Magister Gabranth, Killian, Ink Duelist, and Corpse Knight. Judge is good for sacrificed focus decks, but you don't have any sac outlets or token strats to make this really work. Killian feels out of placed with the lack of targeted interactions that benefit his cost reduction. Lastly Corpse Knight just never works out for me unless I am playing some combo deck that dumps alot of creatures on the board.

Hope these options help. If you would like more suggestions I am will to recomend more. Whether it be looking for more general good cards or going for specfici theme cards.

DemonDragonJ just as food-for-thought and/or inspiration, if I were making low-budget Deathbringer Liege deck, it’d look something like this:

You’d probably want 2-3 lands being either Shambling Vent or Restless Fortress as I imagine these games going very grindily and more threats being needed

Most of the stuff that springs to mind like Planar Guide or Parallax Wave isn't modern legal. Astral Drift is a build around, but awkward.

The big card is Eldrazi Displacer, cause of the flickerwisp interactions. It saw a lot of play alongside Tidehollow Sculler to kill people's hands.

There are a few lists like this to look at Staring Contest: A List of Blink-Effect Cards

Oh (bleep) you're right! LMAO. Like I said, I've been playing since Revised and have a LOT of decks. Always had a penchant for tribal knights (even though there have been/are better tribes for sure through the years). My Modern version does, in fact, run Giver of Runes. The Kor designation doesn't allow me to Cavern of Souls her in but I do run plenty of white sources. I'm sorry bud. 100% my bad. Sorry about that. I need to NOT drink my scotch and give advice. I just get soooooo excited when I see a solid knight tribal build I lose control.

I WILL post my ACTUAL MODERN legal version in the next few days. Giver of Runes is my only non-human or non knight creature in that deck. I run everything else human and/or knight in that deck-most are both. I announce my first Cavern of Souls as "knight" which prevents counter magic on all but the Giver of Runes and Noble Hierarch. Those both being (ideally) early drops-counter magic doesn't normally come into play.

My current, most regularly played, Modern deck is not knights (although I do play it still for a change of pace once in awhile but it's not my number one deck-hence my leading you astray). My current regular MODERN deck is as follows:

Deck: Greif Blade

Main: 4 Ephemerate 1 Poet's Quill 1 Batterskull 4 Giver of Runes 1 Sword of Fire and Ice 2 Plains 3 Godless Shrine 3 Concealed Courtyard 3 Skyclave Apparition 1 Takenuma, Abandoned Mire 3 Tidehollow Sculler 2 Malakir Rebirth  Flip 2 Charming Prince 1 Kaldra Compleat 1 Silent Clearing 1 Shriekmaw 4 Grief 3 Feign Death 4 Marsh Flats 1 Lion Sash 1 Flooded Strand 3 Touch the Spirit Realm 1 Swamp 1 Castle Locthwain 2 Agadeem's Awakening  Flip 2 Solitude 4 Stoneforge Mystic 1 Verdant Catacombs

Sideboard: 2 Leyline of Sanctity 1 Shadowspear 2 Damn 1 Sword of Sinew and Steel 2 Damping Sphere 2 Sanctum Prelate 2 Kaya's Guile 2 Dauthi Voidwalker 1 Reduce to Memory

This is the list I run most frequently so it's the one I know best and have readily available to share. This is NOT a net-deck AFAIK. If there is an identical or similar list floating around in Cyberspace it's purely coincidental. This list was home brewed and is one of my favorites I've ever made through the years.

Have you ever considered splashing green for Collected Company? All of your creatures except Solitude can get hit and it could be a nice board option if your Aether Vials can't stick. Also Tidehollow Sculler could be sweet too.

I'd consider going all-in on flickering your creatures. That would change the deck quite a bit but I think it'd be worth it. There are lots of good cheap creatures if you wanted to go that route. Tidehollow Sculler, Flickerwisp, Wasteland Strangler, and Thragtusk come to mind.

Scottysnacktime, thanks for your comment! I’m glad you were able to use the structure of the deck. I’ve been refining it for a while. I’m also a big fan of Tidehollow Sculler, it’s one of my favorite zombies of all time. I’d love to hear any insight you may have.

pinto_bean1324, thanks for the compliment and suggestion of Relentless Dead! You and several other people including Balaam__ have been encouraging me to run it for a while, but I have been hesitant since I only have Carrion Feeder as a sacrifice outlet, and my deck is so lean on mana. So I’m going to give it a shot. I squeezed a couple Relentless Dead in and I’m going to see if they help. Lately my Skaab Ruinators have been killed pretty quickly and extra recursion may be useful.

I did something like that with Training Grounds. You're missing so many good cards... like Training Grounds. I don't see a date but Valki, God of Lies  Flip is better than Tidehollow Sculler. Then, there's alsways Pack Rat. Draw 2 from Nicol Bolas, BB to make rats.

And with Zirda and/or Training Ground... Lavaclaw Reaches is one of those sneaky manlands that can get huge.
