Looking to buy Modern Stompy....thoughts anyone? I read online that it steals a lot of games and a few of the streams I watched saw it going toe to toe with jund. I was thinking of throwing in Mistcutters with Nykthos for some giant haste beats but if anyone on here has more experience with Stompy please feel free to tell me otherwise.
i havent played the deck for a while ( the MU against GBx is not favourable, not 50/50) ...but what i can tell you is to NOT put mistcutters and nykthos.
You play with 2 land , 3 at most, and curve G, GG and then GGG is really important, having 1G or 1GG could cost you the game.

It's pretty well situated now that the meta is a tad slower. It's a solid, cheap deck that steals wins by being quick. RE: Jund, not the same, but I beat Junk 2-1 with it the other day.
The pros:
- It's quick and can steal wins
- It's cheap
- It will always hold its own
- It's a fun 'backup deck' you can still be competitive with after you build another deck if you fancy a change.
The cons:
- No clear upgrade path, it is what it is
- It's a linear deck
- Falls apart in the midgame. You have to be quick.
- There's a lot of Eldrazi tron about and that's a bad matchup.
Don't bother with Nykthos and Hydra's, stick with the tried and tested. It isn't a midrange deck and you shouldn't worry about making it one.
