Artifact (3)


This is just an idea a friend and I threw together, I haven't done too much testing with it yet, but it seems fun to me.

This deck centers around Blood Moon as a powerful hate card for a decent number of highly-played decks. To get blood moon out faster, it uses Simian Spirit Guide. Using Blood Moon, it aims to stall to play a bunch of Blood Ghasts or Demigods of Revenge. Demigod can be cast off of Spirit Guides and Blood Mooned lands as well, which is great.

Because both playsets of creatures can be recurred from the graveyard, looting effects are the primary form of dig. The deck also has some decent hand-hate in the form of Inquisition and Thoughtseize, and some decent on-board removal in the form of Terminate.

The sideboard helps some of the rougher seeming matchups: Burn, Aggro, Affinity, Twin.

This deck is a work in progress.

A bit more refined and streamlined, probably worth a discussion reset.

Would Slaughter Games be good sideboard material here?

Rinne, would you put those in over Extraction? I'm personally a fan of the interaction between hand hate and Surgical Extraction,but I could see the value in changing it from a two card BB thing to a one card 2BR thing.

Great deck!

What image is that for the featured card? It matches the deck theme perfectly. Nicely done with the deck though. It plays really well.

The card image is Bad Moon. Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for sharing your opinions! I'll make sure to update here with the results of my testing as well.

Sorry for the late response. I'm not much of a Modern player myself, but from my friends' comments playing the Games, it's an absolute house as a sideboard card. However, I wouldn't consider it mainboard material because of the high CMC. If you want to maindeck graveyard hate, I'd suggest sticking with the Extractions and put a copy or two of Slaughter Games in the side. Just my $0.02, though.

In metas where people have lots of nonbasic lands, 4x Blood Moon main board wins games. So far placed second and first in my last two tournaments with my deck. This kind of deck is strong right now because of all the 3 color decks going on.

Wow, um... Blood Moon just doubled in price :/ Bummer.

Hopefully he got them before the one of many buyouts. After 'modern' season dies down and our big modern tournaments coming up are gone (the reason certain individual's/stores bought out cards to make a profit from people needing them) the price should drop. Other have said elsewhere so I'm basically just saying what they said, it's been printed 5 times and is usually a sb card

Deck seems bad ass to me.
