Mistvault Bridge, Seat of the Synod + Vault of Whispers

I see that Karn's Touch! Hard not to appreciate your attempt at making this janky turd shine. Perhaps Xenic Poltergeist for redundancy.

Win condition = Eater of Days or Phyrexian Dreadnought

This was also when I started digging into the game. For the full list, it's

• 8th Edition

• Mirrodin Block

• Kamigawa Block

• 9th Edition

• Ravnica Block

• Coldsnap

• Time Spiral Block

• 10th Edition

• Lorwyn/Shadowmoor Block

• Alara Block

• Magic 2010

• Zendikar Block

• Magic 2011

• Scars of Mirrodin Block

• Magic 2012

• Innistrad Block (introduction of Modern format)

• Magic 2013

The initial Modern banlist was Ancestral Vision, Ancient Den, Bitterblossom, Chrome MoxGC, Dark Depths, Dread Return, Glimpse of Nature, Golgari Grave-Troll, Great Furnace, Hypergenesis, Jace, the Mind Sculptor, Mental Misstep, Seat of the Synod, Sensei's Divining Top, Skullclamp, Stoneforge Mystic, Sword of the Meek, Tree of Tales, Umezawa's Jitte, Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle, and Vault of Whispers.

Possible archetypes that I can see are Cawblade, Splinter Twin, Infect, Bloom Titan, Burn, Living End, Jund Midrange, Zoo, 12 Post, basically all the stuff that was popular in the first few years of Modern.

For what its worth, i went through the modern banlist and made a list of cards i’d rather see unbanned because they’d be less toxic than Uro (note this doesn’t mean i actually want any of these unbanned, just that i think they’d be less broken).

• Ancient Den
• Blazing Shoal
• Deathrite Shaman
• Fury
• Golgari Grave-Troll (3rd time lucky right?)
• Great Furnace
• Green Sun's Zenith
• Grief
• Ponder
• Punishing Fire
• Seat of the Synod
• Seething Song
• Splinter Twin
• Tree of Tales
• Vault of Whispers
• Violent Outburst (this one feels super close/adjacent).
• Yorion, Sky Nomad (not that this one’s on the banlist for a power reason though - and imo it should defo stay banned)

Crow_Umbra on Rendmaw wording

Hi there, unfortunately I don't think that split cards will work with Rendmaw. You can check out the Wiki page for Split Cards to read the more specific rulings, but here is a key piece that is most relevant to Rendmaw's functioning:

"In any zone except the stack, a split card has the combination of both characteristics; while it's on the stack, it only has the characteristics of the half being played."

• 709.3. A player chooses which half of a split card they are casting before putting it onto the stack.
• 709.3a Only the chosen half is evaluated to see if it can be cast. Only that half is considered to be put onto the stack.

Also, Artifact Lands like Vault of Whispers or Enchantment Lands like Valgavoth's Lair will work with Rendmaw, since they are cards being played, and have two or more types (Artifact or Enchanment, and Land). The split cards from your example would only count as whichever half you choose to play on the stack when you cast it.

• Treasure Vault is probably better than Darksteel Citadel, but it’s close. However, in your deck Darksteel Citadel is probably better than Vault of Whispers, as you have nothing that needs black mana (if you’re ever not casting Vault Skirge for {1}, you’re doing something wrong).

• regardless of the point above, I think your deck is lacking enough blue and white sources to be reliable, and i’d be dropping a bunch of the black & colourless lands in favour of more lands that can provide white/blue.

• Chromatic Lantern is an absolutely tragically terrible card. Maybe you’re thinking of it being useful is a hangover from Commander?? In any non-edh format the card is just really, really bad - 3 mana for this effect is not playable. At least upgrade it to Talisman of Progress if you’re wanting a mana-rock that sticks around. Although I also think that Chromatic Star/Chromatic Sphere are also much better options.

• Fill in the format. I suspect Vintage, since you are playing Demonic Tutor.
• What is the budget? If there is none, go with Badlands, Mox Ruby instead of 1 Simian Spirit Guide
• You are playing just 1 blue card, and it's not that much relevant - Windfall. Throw it away and you can then go two-color with much more stable and less painful mana-base. Remove 4 Aether Hub and 4 City of Brass. Play instead 1 Blood Crypt, 1 Raucous Theater, 1 Graven Cairns, 1 Sulfurous Springs, 4 Blackcleave Cliffs
• Memory Jar is an insane card in this strategy, since it causes your opponent to discard 7 cards while it gives you more cards to play. I would replace it for 1 Howling Mine. Jar may well be a reason to still play blue - for Tinker. In that case also replace a few swamps for Vault of Whispers.

I have the Necron Dynasties precon that's currently being upgraded, let me know what I should add next or remove to make it more appealing and competitive in the casual pod. This seems to be a really good commander deck full of sacrifices. Here's the list of the cards on the deck:

Illuminor Szeras Grim Haruspex Scrapyard Recombiner Gate to the Afterlife Sojourner's Companion Dross Scorpion Frogmite Smothering Abomination Meteor Golem Noxious Gearhulk Workshop Assistant Diabolic Tutor Scrap Trawler Marionette Master Foundry Inspector Gray Merchant of Asphodel Myr Retriever Disciple of the Vault Staff of Domination Psychomancer Triarch Praetorian Dread Return Cranial Plating Mask of Memory Sol Ring Barren Moor Myriad Landscape Arcane Signet Mind Stone Wayfarer's Bauble Desert of the Glorified Vault of Whispers Anrakyr the Traveller Chronomancer Cryptek Lokhust Heavy Destroyer Necron Deathmark Out of the Tombs Royal Warden Shard of the Nightbringer Shard of the Void Dragon Skorpekh Lord Technomancer Their Name is Death Their Number is Legion Trazyn the Infinite Canoptek Scarab Swarm Canoptek Spyder Canoptek Tomb Sentinel Cryptothrall Ghost Ark Sceptre of Eternal Glory Tomb Fortress Living Death Reliquary Tower Mutilate Caged Sun Mystic Forge Sculpting Steel 30 Swamp

Some thoughts:

• both Vault of Whispers and Dirge of Dread are not modern legal.

• your mana curve looks decent, but you have very little to do on turn 1… i’d suggest maybe trying to get a few more 1-mana cards in here.

• you’re running a lot of cards as 1-ofs and 2-ofs, which will make it a lot harder for your deck to have a clear direction or coherent playstyle. I’d suggest aiming for the vast majority of your cards to be run as playsets - and ditch those cards that aren’t as usuful.

• depending on your budget, most of your cards can be upgraded. For example, Lightning Bolt and Fatal Push are both stronger killspells than your current selection.
