This is my attempt at making a deck for the Modern format. Because the card pool goes back to an era I'm not familiar with, I may make deckbuilding decisions that might not seem optimal to a more experienced veteran. Apologies in advanced.

The deck essentially focuses on controlling the opponent's attacks, taxing their mana with various white prison effects if they want to do so. Once I slow the opponent down enough, I can summon Kazuul, Tyrant of the Cliffs and goad their creatures into attacking me more. And because every subsequent attack my opponent makes gives me a 3/3 Ogre unless they pay mana they can't actually use, my swing-back grows more and more lethal.

I mainly just made this deck as an excuse to use Kazuul cuz he looks badass lol.

I may need some help refining this deck, as my mana curve is looking a bit too high.

I also definitely need some additional draw effects holy hot damn.

I also have no idea what to include in the sideboard

So I kiiiiinda realized that Ghostly Prison actually sorta conflicts with the deck's entire schtick because not being able to pay the Prison's fee prevents my opponent's creatures from attacking at all, regardless of if Im forcing them to with Rage Nimbus, Curse of the Nightly Hunt, or Akroan War.

The solution? I just replaced it with War's Toll. Waaaay simpler means of locking out my opponent's ability to pay the mana against Kazuul so I can actually get the Ogres I want.

Also Forbidden Orchard would be perfect if it wasn't so expensive. It not only fixes your mana without tapping or shocking you, but it also gives your opponent dinky little spirits to slam into Kazuul with. I recommend at least one in the main deck, but you can add more in the sideboard for the noncreature matchups if you're willing to spend 60 more bucks.

Also also, Reprobation is a great removal spell for the deck because it's not only cheap, but it also makes your opponent's creatures useless without necessarily preventing them from attacking, unlike more conventional enchantments of its kind like Pacifism or Oppressive Rays

Also also also, try and find room for Idyllic Tutor or, if you can afford it, Enlightened Tutor, because they dramatically boost the deck's overall consistency.

Search for Glory is also great for tutoring Kazuul, Mila, Redaine, or the Akroan War.
