Sideboard


HUGE UPDATE!

Modern Horizons 3 is here!

With Modern Horizons 3 come a slew of new cards to boost Energy, Storm, Tron, Control and more, including some new decks. I decided to make a Jeskai Control list with Isochron Scepter (one of my favorite cards). With the addition of Orim's Chant to Modern, I felt I could make a spicy brew to incorporate the two. Control the game, get Isochron Scepter + Orim's Chant online and just don't let your opponent play Magic! This time around, we're going to be utilizing some of the energy mechanics for strong payoffs like Wrath of the Skies and Galvanic Discharge. We also have a Stoneblade package for a wincon and other shenanigans. Ornithopter of Paradise provides some ramp and can be a great target for our Equips. But where's the spice?

Zirda, the Dawnwakerfoil is our companion in this deck, which limits us to having only permanents with activated abilities, but reduces the activation costs by 2 as long as it isn't less than 1 as long as this Spicy Fox Boi is on the field. This pairs very well with the Stoneblade package and allows for the shenanigans!

In our sideboard, we have answers for as many decks in the Meta as possible that work with Zirda. I hope everyone enjoyed the deck. Give it a try if you want a neat new Control brew!
