How to improve the Modern Event Deck Today
Modern Deck Help forum
Posted on Nov. 30, 2015, 8:17 p.m. by PKKite
I plan on buying the Modern event deck for 65 but i want to improve upon it to make it at least put up a fight to today's modern. note my budget is around 100 which the event deck will take out about 70. So I just need some ideas on what to replace and what for. Eventually I will spend more on improving.

Some Isolated Chapel and land base improvements are nice and cheap. Finish out the Lingering Souls, Intangible Virtue and other anthems. Path to Exile as a 4 of. Then season to taste.

honestly, the two things i think would get you the farthest are reworking the mana base and adding some sort of targeted discard

Could you send me to a deck list? I'll tell you how to best improve it from there. B/w tokens is tricky to build on a budget, but there are a few things that you can do for cheap.

Cut 2 Honor of the Pure, 2 Shrine of Loyal Legions and 1-2 Zealous Persecution and 3Tidehollow Sculler
Add, 2 Inquisition of Kozilek and 2-3 Duress/Thoughtseize or just 4 Duress if the IoK and TS are expensive
Add 1 Path to Exile 1 Dismember and 1 Murderous Cut
Add 1-2 Sorin, Solemn Visitor
The other spots are for you to play with I think. There doesn't seem to be anything special to add. Or just keep the Tidehollow. or replace with Castigate
Total Value of Upgrades - Cheapest option = ~$28
What's not included is sideboard tech. The included sideboard isn't the best, but its fine. I'd keep atleast 2 Zealous Persecutions in the 75, imho

I'd say get the fourth path. Definitely try to get either 2 Sorin, Solemn Visitor in addition or some Godless Shrines. You can easily do that for 30. You can trade away Sword of Feast and Famine for an Inquisition of Kozilek to start to work towards a playset of those.

Ok used XZZane's B/W Token Budget as a outline. i removed all the cards i get in the event deck so only 24 are needed to finish it. They cost about 111 all near mint. So i just need to know which of these are the most important to get with my left over 30-40 bucks till i can get the cash for the rest. http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/bw-token-budget-buy-list/

Personally I would try to add 2x Inquisition of Kozilek and 1x Path to Exile and 2x Sorin, Solemn Visitor. Then I would remove the 2x Shrine of Loyal Legions, 2x Honor of the Pure and 1x Sword of Feast and Famine.
You could sell or trade the Sword of Feast and Famine to improve your budget.
Over time you could get 4x Thoughtseize, 4x Marsh Flats and 4x Godless Shrine.
