A fun, relatively budget (now that Lyra is US$16 or US$17) deck I made for my LGS's FMN modern. The main goal is to get my 4 or 5 cmc Angels out by turns 3 or 4, and then starting pounding them to the ground.
-
Lyra Dawnbringer Baneslayer 2.0 and great pummeler.
-
Shalai, Voice of Plenty Protecting from Settle the Wreckage and a bunch of other mean things. Also an Angel.
-
Resplendent Angel Angel, so pumped with Lyra. Also, has a bunch of other cool abilities once paired with some lifegain.
-
Prepare // Fight I really like Aftermath cards, as it's like 2 cards in one and when you do cast Aftermath, it most of the time surprises your opponents.
-
Avacyn's Pilgrim and Birds of Paradise Mana ramp.
-
Oketra's Monument Makes stuff cheaper and gives you free chump blockers.
-
Cavern of Souls good against control decks and Unclaimed Territory on steriods.
-
Oblivion Ring and Ixalan's Binding creature/artifact/enchantment removal.
-
Always Watching for that extra little boost of power. And the big power of staying up all night.
-
Vivien Reid's +1 ability is pretty much and Adventurous Impulse but better. I also like her -3 as it can clear Oblivion Rings, Cast Out, Isochron Scepter and any flyer that might get in the way. Her -8, however, is a game winner.
-
Nature's Spiral is for when your opponent just killed Lyra and you have nothing else good to cast.
My current sideboard is just a put in until I can trade some cards to make a real sideboard, which I have listed in my update called Sideboard Stuff
-
Rest in Peace is good against reanimator, Snapcaster and Dredge. If I needed this in, I would take out Nature's Spiral as that with Rest in Peace does nothing as all my graveyard stuff is exiled.
-
Karn, Scion of Urza is good against control matchups and if he isn't countered/removed, he could pose a very credible threat, as you are pretty much drawing two cards per turn, no matter what. I didn't put him in my maindeck as he was too slow. If I had to put him in, I would probably put him in for an Oketra's Monument as the games will be slow anyway.
-
Thalia, Heretic Cathar. I like her because she is good against Dredge, Bogle(10% or the time), and aggro for two reasons: She has First Strike and she makes opposing creatures ETB tapped as well as shocklands fecthlands etc.
-
Blessed Alliance. I like any cards with choices, you can do this or that as you can do sooo much with them and they are very versatile. Which is what I am looking for in a sideboard. I really like Alliance as it can surprise your opponent, get past hexproof, make them sac their Bogle, make to creatures have vigilance without having it for a turn and can help my Resplendent Angel.
-
Ghostly Prison is another sideboard card for aggro and it also helps against Tokens/Soul Sisters etc. I'm not sure what I'll take out for it though, maybe some of the higher cmc stuff.
-
Aegis of the Gods is another Shalai, Voice of Plenty but cheaper and more vulnerable to removal. It is good against Burn and Cruel Control. I'll take out an Aerial Responder to put this in.
Opening Hand: 3 basic lands in any combo that has at least one of each colour, Oketra's Monument, Llanowar Elves or Avacyn's Pilgrim, and any two Angels.
T1: Draw a card(random angel or creature). Forest, Llanowar Elves or Avacyn's Pilgrim.
T2: Draw a card(if I only have a single Plains in my starting hand, then one here). Plains, Oketra's Monument.
T3: Draw a card(doesn't really matter). Plains, anyone of my Angels, getting a 1/1 Warrior with vigilance.
As you can see, if I get a draw like this, it will be pretty hard to combat this onslaught of Angels, especially if you have something like Always Watching .
Green + White = Lifelink and Angels PLAYTESTING
