This is sweet Argeaux

Awesome work! I've been wanting to see Sorin, Grim Nemesis have more presence. The removal is insane.

What are your bad matchup and where does the deck fall down?

Just did a short five turn playtest.

That's just gross. So much creature and hand hate. What's your record with this?

(You've got me all excited now)

GAH, more details on your latest FNM adventure

TMBRLZ thanks for the kind words.

My worst match up is usually anything that curves into Dragons, particularly Dragonlord Kolaghan.

The worst thing for this deck would be reanimation but not many people seem to be using that.

Top 3 is my best place so far. I usually Top 8 at beach FNM I play.

Can't say I know many decks in my area that use Lord Kola, but this deck is sweet. I feel it would perform strongly in my area, that is, if people actually cared about Standard here.

Looking forward to hearing more on this deck's success. You should try and jam it at a GP or an Open sometime.

Have you considered Dragon Hunter as a sideboard, just in case you do come up against dragon's?

TMBRLZ and Argeaux, do you 2 play modern at all?

TMBRLZ while this deck does well in my local Casual meta, it struggles against Tier 1 decks. There is a more competitive version, that has more flexibility, that has been dominating professional circles of late.

ocary13 I had Dragon Hunter in an earlier version of this deck, but was never Sideboarding it in.

Although Dragons are challenging for this deck, it usually beats them.

The current Sideboard is necessary for my local meta. Gideon, Ally of Zendikar and Declaration in Stone win me a lot of matches, and my field has quite a bit of life gain and Mill in it, which I've lost to because I didn't have Tainted Remedy or Orbs of Warding.

I have a couple of "Modern" decks that I have put together for playing against friends, but I have only played in Modern tournament once.

It's not really my thing as I like matches that go on past Turn 4, and I am also not interested in spending thousands of dollars on a deck that may become obsolete with future expansions.

I also get bored with my decks quite quickly, once I see that they can work. I like that Standard has a lot of turn over.

AgentGreen my match write up is now complete.

Cool stuff

You've also seen my deck Argeaux and I'm debating whether to swap out 4 basics (probably 3 swamps and a plains) for 4 Forsaken Sanctuary; since I still need the Caves for its colorless; it will leave me with 4 swamps and 3 plains; but will allow me to better utilize my mana

AgentGreen I think that would be a good move.

Being able to tap things other than pain lands is essential for this type of deck, as it usually wins in the mid to late game.

I learnt from experience that relying on pain lands for colour fixing can drop your life total so low that it is easy for Opponents to finish you off.

Declaration in stone is a great card Argeaux. It has saved my butt a few times. I am in the process of building my first competitive modern deck, I've played modern casually, but, I prefer standard, there is just something about crackin a pack! I am trying out a mono-white knight deck for modern, hopefully it works out!

I agree about Declaration in Stone, ocary13.

I basically always Side it in, but I don't Mainboard it so that I can decide what I want it to replace, so that it acts as nasty surprise for my Opponents, and because it makes my already strong deck devasting.

It's always interesting when they finish me off easily in the first game and then realise in the second game that they will probably lose the third.

For the first time since I started playing Stamdard tourneys I am actually thinking about playing this deck in the next season.

Your Modern deck sounds interesting. Hope it plays well for you.

Thanks Argeaux. I use it in mainboard for my standard weenie deck. Need something good to help out the little guys!

Here is my modern deck. Cards came in the mail yesterday!

My deck:

Good Knight, sleep tight... (Needs Help)

I think you're overestimating Modern a bit my friend, Argeaux.

Not every match ends on the fourth turn, and surely not every match is decided by the fourth turn. The pros like to generalize things too much. If you have a room full of strong decks and competent pilots it can lead to some very interesting matchups... unless you're watching Tron... then it's just kind of sad.

And to answer you, ocary13, yes. It's really the only good format left. Standard is overpriced and has a meta that is either far too stagnant or far too volatile. Legacy is overpriced and tastes like salt water. ( pun).

TMBRLZ, that's why I am in the process of making the switch from standard to modern. The amount of money I've spent in the last 1.5yrs I could have a killer modern deck! Lol..Argeaux I know you agreed, I was just reiterating the fact, sorry should have pry thrown a comma in there somewhere. Lol
