Viable Gorgon Deck. Is it possible?
Deck Help forum
Posted on April 28, 2014, 10:14 a.m. by rpmrn100
I'm really trying to make a Gorgon Deck with deathtouch creatures for fun, but with chances of winning. Not really tournament competitive.
So far I got this. Gorgon Death Touch.
Please, could someone help me with this task?
And do you think I could make it less about the gorgons and more about the deathtouch to make it more viable?

You might be able to wrangle an acceptable Standard or post-rotation deck from the concept. I'd say it should be Jund, and run Minotaurs as a co-dependent tribal. Want me to try to make one?

It sounds Interesting. Could you make one so we can compare?
And in this deck I built, how could I make it better without changing the colours?
I have a hard time with blue counters spells.
I ask this because I don't have easy access do red cards and might take a while to change to a Minotaur/Gorgon deck.

Now- don't treat this as rock-solid. I just whipped it up to show you how something MIGHT work. I don't really do Modern, and it tends to be a LOT more expensive, but this is just an option. Snakes and Bulls

Nemesis Mask , Lure and Viridian Longbow are a must, check my deck if you need some ideas.
Fun with Deathtouch Playtest
Modern

The sad part is that I have at least one of everey gorgon card lol.
I'm not very good with red coloured cards. Could could you explain what would be the strategy with this deck?
I'm still pending towards the green. Some people said that I should focus on add more removal and mana ramp spells. What are good ones that I can use?

If you have Viridian Longbow and you equip it on a creature with deathtouch you won't need to pay for one time only creature removal instants, plus you save space for more cards.

Ixidron, I'm looking at your deathtouch deck, and having some good ideas on how to survive more.
Thanks everyone for the help. I'll update my deck.
Just one more thing. A friend told me that my deck is too slow. How could I make more fast?

DarkHero, Thas basically what I'm thinking. It's just that I started playing magic again this month.
It's been 8 years lol. So I'm a little lost in what's new and how to use properly.

I added a bunch of cards based on what we discussed here. Could someone check and suggest what should be removed?
Thanks!

best you can do is run Conspiracy naming Gorgon, and then run token production and Hythonia the Cruel ... It is never going to win in Modern because the format is just too fast and too good. EDH is possible Snakes and Stones, Standard is doable, but not in any kind of competitive fashion. It really isn't a tribe yet...I was hoping for Gorgons to get the same love Minotaurs got, but it just didn't happen.
